Nokia 5130XM vs 7100 vs 3110c vs 3500c

Two phones I often see being mentioned as the best sub 5K phones with lots of features are the nokia 3110 classic and nokia 3500 classic. They appear identical in most respects. But WHAT is(are) the actual difference(s) between them ? And what are their prices ?

Re: Nokia 3110c vs 3500c

I remember you had asked this before in another thread and I had replied to you back there. So there was no need for another thread.

Anyway 3110 Classic has a 1.3mp camera and a 1020 mAh battery whereas 3500 Classic has a 2mp camera but a smaller 820 mAh battery. That's the only major difference, apart from looks of course.

Re: Nokia 3110c vs 3500c

I think I lost the other thread so I asked here.
Anyway, I have the following small list of questions:


What difference in battery life does this battery difference create ?

What is the difference in price ?

Do both record video at the same resolution ? (not images, I mean video)

1.3MP and 2MP translate to what resolution in megapixels ?

Is the difference in camera resolution good enough to give 3500c a major advantage in quality ?

About looks, any pics comparing them side by side ?

Any difference in screen size and processing power or memory ?

How are these at playing games like Call Of Duty 4, Prince Of Persia, FIFA 07, etc ? (mobile java versions ofcourse :p)

What are the video and audio formats supported ?

Whats the default internal memory ?

How is video playback and is it good enough to replace a PMP ?

How is audio playback compared to a decent MP3 player ?

Whats the cheapest (most VFM) expansion card supported by these mobiles ?

What are the extra software one can add to these mobiles ?

What OS do these run ?

Re: Nokia 3110c vs 3500c

Is there any sub 5K mobile which is better than these two ? I think the resolution is waaay too low for gaming or videos.

Re: Nokia 3110c vs 3500c

Well guys, what about 3120c and 6233 ?
I heard they are about 2K more in cost.

Are they worth it ?

The main use for the phone is video/audio/image playback and recording, *.txt files reading, internet surfing, java gaming, and last but not the least, phone calls :p.

Is it wise to wait for Android ? Can it ever arrive in this priceband ?

I would suggest you to forget these S40 phones and get the Sony Ericsson G502. It has a QVGA display, good multimedia performance, great web-browsing, Java works really well on it and costs around 7.8k. Totally worth it and better than 6233 or 3120c.

Re: Nokia 3110c vs 3500c

What about android ? I am still feeling like waiting for android since its familiar territory for me and I am learning linux programming. The way windows mobile hit 7K mark, can Android do that in the near future ?

More than a year, that's for sure. Till then you can get the G502 to occupy yourself.

Re: Nokia 3110c vs 3500c

What about a 5300 XpressMusic ?
I need a large screen for videos, excellent sound, java games and internet.
Cam for video, audio and images also wanted.

5300 is a good music phone. But don't expect much in terms of camera quality. Also the built-in browser is pathetic (you would have to rely on Opera Mini to get any half decent internet experience). Which is why I suggested to you SE G502. It is a much better phone.

what about the price of G502 ?

And comming back to android, in my current situation, I am capable of going even 10K if and only if I get a good android mobile with a nice CPU. That atleast possible sometime by Jan 2009 ?

G502 is around 7.8k now.

As for the Android query, it really depends upon the manufacturers, like HTC, who will be making these Android based phone. HTC does have a near 10k Win Mo phones, so they'll surely come up with phones with Android in that price range as well. But when and how is totally difficult to predict.

Re: Nokia 3110c vs 3500c

Yes, but you do get more with the extra 2k you spend on G502. E.g. there is a higher resolution camera, better interface, faster Java performance, better web browser, 3G, support for higher capacity memory cards (above 2gb), etc.

Re: Nokia 3110c vs 3500c

Today, I checked out the prices asked for different phones in a local store:

HTC Touch - 16,000
G502 - 7,500
3550c - 5,500
3110c - 4,500
5200XM - no stock, no quote

I have a feeling that I am being ripped off when it comes to the two nokia phones. What do you guys feel ?

And yeah, he says 3500c is 3 hrs talk time and 300hrs standby while 3110c is 3.5 hrs talk time and 375 hrs standby. The respective packing confirmed it. And the former looks uglier than the later.

I think the box for one of the two, 3110c or 3500c said 512MB in the name part. Forgot which.

Any fresh views on the two ?

And yeah, is browsing internet on 1.8" screen via Opera Mini feasable ?
