The video playback can be atributed to the codecs. Remember, a normal DivX video found on computer will not play when copied to the phone even in smartmovie. U will need to convert it using smartmovie convertar for PC.

About the font issue, try using it yourself & then check.

I say, make it a standerd that all the mobile phone manufacturers must support the cleartype font face in there mobile phone such as SegoeUI & Deja vu sans

I have tried playing a divx file ripped for mobile (Dvx player and smart movie) its working fine. If the screen size is ok with you, you can get it. Over all, its a very good phone. Value for money.
I got the black one, black one is the good looking one. Silver color I didnt like.
reminding you, the back portion of the phone is Metal, not plastic.

Hey, i just used both E50 & Nokia 6300 today. Still finding out whether we can install applications in it or not. Even if we can, I guess they won't be comparable to Symbian OS.

Nokia E50 does have small fonts, tooo small from my point of view. It did had problem while playing 256kbps mp4 video with 24fps at 320X240. iI encoded a video from Constantine movie just for this purpose. The frames were skipping so I guess 196 kbps will run fine in it.

@gx e50 is s60v3 os9.1.. So it obviously supports apps.. 6300 is s40v2 so it supports only crappy java apps.. :s

I meant "Still finding wether 6300 supports applications".

Since u just mentioned it does not, well...then I guess it is still a nice phone for those who don't want to install applications on there phones like me or SE users, but rather want to use the phone like a phone insted of a Computer. Not everyone wants a phone to watch PDF or .doc files.

With a 2 MP camera, i would compare this phone as Nokia's answer to K550i, now if only I knew the price of K550i :rolleyes:. They could have easily made a killer phone if they combine 6300 body & design with Nokia E50 OS & Software inside. A near perfect combination. Here is a comparision of 6300 & K550i

:mad: I hate so rapid growth in technology. i bought my K750i for same price in septembar 2006. Oh well....all I miss is EDGE which is not even available with BSNL :D.

6233, hmm....nah it's not stylish & a looker. Whats with the low memory/RAM in Nokia phones anyway, atleast E50 has inbuilt 70 MB Memory (RAM).

Did u PMed andy?

N73 ME costs more then 20k if i m right?

& Symbian Mobile phones use the phones inbuilt memory as RAM, actully all phones do. This is why I mentioned them as same.

I didnt get any response for my post in your thread earlier, I downloaded a movie ripped for mobile and tried palying it in e50 (I did it only to give you the first hand information) But you didnt even care to respond for it buddy. Thats why I said I wont post here.

If you play the movie in fullscreen mode, it will automatically lanscape mode, thats a bit ok in respect of screen size. I am used to ipod video screen, so e50 screen looks small to me for video. If you are used ot big screens, you may not like the video in it. But it can play videos well.

Don't buy a separate stereo headset (E50 comes with single-ear headset). Instead buy the AD-15 adaptor and connect your own headphones. Also remember it doesn't come with any memory card, so you'll have to buy that too. Dunno whether it comes with a data cable or not so you may have to buy that too (will come in handy while upgrading firmware).
Btw where will you be buying from? Alfa???

If you're not into music then i'll suggest you get the standard Nokia stereo headset. A AD-15 adaptor and good headphone (like Creative EP-630) combo will burn a hole the size of moon in your pocket. Better yet persuade the dealer to give the stereo headset to you for free. Exchange the mono headset with it if needed. Original Nokia stereo headset comes for around 400 rupees.
Btw why not go for 2gb? It'll work fine with E50 and will be better value than 1gb.
