Nokia n70 or Sony ericson k750

NOKIA 3250 is too slow and I mean too too slow (been using it for quite some time). the inbox takes atleast 25 seconds (approx) to open up and you can't even use your phone until the message is being sent, that too takes around 35 seconds, believe me,
but the camera is very good, and the "twister" is definitely a new thing you would like to try for., good phone but don't load much content into it, it will become slow. choice is yours, I am also planning for a new phone K550i, have a look at it features(it's around 11k in delhi)

Dude, what is your firmware of Nokia 3250? Are you still using v 3.18? On the active standby, press *#0000# and check what is your version of Firmware. The current version is 4.14, and it is hell fast!! The message bug was fixed long time back, and has been improved all along since v.3.21.

Dont go for N70, it has Symbian OS 8.1 (S60v2 FP3). It has old graphics, Old icons and does not have the security of OS 9.1. It would be better if you opt for 3250.

Ram is one of the advantages of N70, has nearly 40MB free ram on booting.
One of the reasons i feel why the free RAM available on boot for OS 9.1 phones has been less is the graphics and features of the newer phones. I have no Technical Specs of the phones, but i believe N70 did not require that much RAM, whereas the newer phones require a higher quantity ram, and hence less free ram is available on startup.

BTW, most of the newer phones have aroung 19 - 22 MB free RAM on startup.
Having more apps than 9.1 phones is not advantage, as 9.1 is the future and the present, where N70 was the past. It wont be long when 9.1 would overtake N70, so its better to stay upfront.

@Tech.Masti
It does hang about once or twice a month, but then, it was the first S60v3 phone, the first firmware was bound to be buggy. The new firmware is refreshingly stable and faster.
What do you mean by have to struggle a bit for any specefic software?

yep @ alsi i m using a os9.1 too.. Btw os9.1 does require more ram to boot up.. Also 9.1 apps require more ram than their 8.1 counterparts.. Thats y the ram feels a little low 4 multitasking
