Phone within 5k

[GeekyBoy]

My dad wants to buy a new cellphone within 5k.He already has a nokia 6600.

What's the best nokia phone within Rs 5000 ?

Nokia 3500 classic... Just costs some 300-400 extra. Or if you are under strict budget then 3110 classic...

Nokia 5130 XpressMusic can be had for around 5.6K. The best phone at its budget. QVGA screen, dedicated music keys, upto 8GB expandable memory, video/audio/image playback and recording, 2.0MP camera, great looks.

I am not sure if its Symbian S60 or S40. Someone needs to help me here. Because if it is S60, there is NO phone more VFM than it.

The Symbian phones of Nokia which are actually smartphones are called S60 and the Nokia phones which don't have Symbian but have Java MIDP are called S40. S40 phones can't be called smartphones.

S stands for series.

My friend bought a SE W200i recently. Got it for Rs. 4,410 incl taxes. Free 2.1 portable speakers which connect directly to the mobile worth 1.6K and free 1GB memory card.

What's 3500c got better than 3110c? If its only the 2.0mp camera, I think 3110c is better.
Could anyone list the pros and cons of the 3100classic please ?

The only down point of W200i is that it lacks Bluetooth.

+1 from me too for Nokia 3110c.

+1 for Nokia 5130 XM.

It runs s40 v5 FP1, it's not a symbian smartphone.

I think he'll be buying the 3110c. Could you suggest a good earphone for the 3110c, as I've heard it has a mono one ?

What kind of earphones slot does Nokia's 3110c have ? You can get several good earphones for the 2mm jack found in mobile phones at under Rs. 195.

 

[GeekyBoy]

Its a 2.5mm jack.

 

[MetalheadGautham]

Its a 2.5mm jack.

Just search in a big local mobile store for 2.5mm jack earphones. Take your mobile along, loaded with best songs you have. And ask for test and see which is best. Also try the default ones.
