N95 or SE W960i or E90 ?

[faraaz]

I think prices will stabilise to around 25 K for the W960i within 3-4 months of launch...

 

[infra_red_dude]

it should stabilse otherwise not may ppl will buy it. and i dun think asking a high price for 8gb memory is justified. that has become real cheap now. considering today's world and media requirement, 8gb is meagre storage space!

 

[ssk_the_gr8]

w960i for 30-35k

Hmm...8 GB increases the price. Why can't SE release a version with only 1 GB Memory + Memory card. Not only this will be cheap but also more flexible. Not everyone needs more then 1 gb or 512 MB memory.

Had it been a hard drive as in N91 8gb (20k) it would've been cheaper. But its flash memory. iPod Nano 8gb still costs 15k despite only playing music and images.

N95 special music edition 8gb...wait and go for it

 

[faraaz]

^ - Is this confirmed?? Link pls!

N95 8GB..........?!

Hv a look...........*www.symbian-freak.com/news/007/07/n95_8gb.htm

The n95 8gb ll be priced heavily... 8gb flash memory is very costly...
i think they may use samsung's nand flash chips.. Still i hope that after the release of the 8gb version the price of the standard n95 ll drop below 20k... fingers crossed
Also the whole thing is just a rumour based on this...
*nds.nokia.com/uaprof/NN95_8GB-1r100.xml
So dont pin ur hopes on it..

i do not understand one thing. how can 8gb flash memory be heavily costly when it comes to phone? the same nand memories are used in flash drives (commonly called pen drives).. and the speediest of the 'pen' drives provide the same transfer speed and reliability (life time) when used in a phone while the price is peanuts! i fail to understand the logic.

 

[Pathik]

^^ ok temme how much does a high speed 8gb pen drive cost???
not the low speed cheap ones...

I think Transcend is retailing at what ... 4 K ?? Its been a while since I've been in the market...but you have to understand, that a pendrive is a discrete storage solution. Integrating the flash memory into a phone keeping in mind its functioning in conjunction with the other subsystems integrated in the phone tends to increase costs. But however expensive that is, anything over 25 K is exorbitant for this phone.

 

[infra_red_dude]

exactly! thats what i'm saying...

 

[cooldudie3]

i think w960i is the best now
