Planning On Buying A New Phone...Help

[MDK]

Hi guys

im planning on buying a new phone
here's all the features i need:

1.good music capability
2.good camera(at least equivalent to a k750i)
3.and ill be buying a laptop soon, so i'd need something to use as a modem, so i guess edge is essential???(p.s. -- what are the speeds in airtel like?)

ill spend around 15k
but will stretch it if required
any input will be appreciated

Go for Nokia N70. Or if you can stretch your budget to 17k, go for SE K790i.
In Airtel with EDGE, you get a download speed of around 20 kBps. Dunno about browsing speed though.

N70... If u conn thru data cable u ll get a max browsing 7peed of 384kbps

Krazy,

wat abt W810i @14k settle all needs and spare 1k too!

U may go for Nokia 6270 or 6233 (its 3G enabled).
If u want s60 den go for Nokia 5500 or 3250.N70 is good but it still runs Os 8.1.I dont think u'll like to go 4 a fone which runs a back dated OS.

^^ Yes, SE W810i is also a good option.

w810i is a good option. so is n5500. its upto personal choice now.

I would suggest Nokia 3250 Xpress Music.

Music is great, but the camera is not as good a k750i because of a lack of flash.
But it sports the S60v3 OS which supports 3rd Applications and you can also use it as a modem.

W810i will be better, music phone with good camera as K750i & also EGDE

W710i is also good, and it supports mp4/aac ringtones, too.

Otherwise, W710i and W810i share the same feature set.

i will recommend sony ericson W810i if u want gud music capabilites

 

[Third Eye]

go for sony ericsson W810i

 

[Pathik]

get a n70 dude.. The music/cam is decent enough... Software support is d best

 

[MDK]

hmmm

so it's between n70 and w810i...

what about k610i? my friend says it hasnt got edge. how much difference will it make in terms of speed?

N70 highly recommended. U can go 4 N72 n save some 1000bucks. Both of dem r gr8 n full of features

 

[Pathik]

n72 doesnt hav 3G dude... if u take a fone now it has to be future proof...
n the gprs speeds r substantially greater in edge/3g fones than normal gprs fones...

N70 (as per review and users comments) can not come near to SE when there is Race for Sound/Music and Camera.
