Suggest a phone ~7K

[shaunak]

I am currently using the k700i. I want to get a new phone, nothing too fancy. It has to have the following as a bare minimum:
> GPRS
> a camera [a decent one]
> FM radio
> bluetooth
> java support
> expandible memory
I dont care too much for "super good music playback", just functional is fine.
The camera has produce decent pics.
My budget is around 7K.

Please suggest a good replacement for my trusty K700.

-thanks



my order of brand pref: sony>siemens>lg>nokia>samsung
note motorola totally ruled OUT.

SE K750i
Best for ur budget..price 7.5K

 

[infra_red_dude]

^^^ +1, agree. k750i is the best you can get at that price. however, it lacks edge.

 

[Tech.Masti]

+1 for K750i
OR
5500 have all features+Symbian, but have some confusion with its price, somewhere its 7.2k only,
OR
Nokia 5300, have all features, but its slide phone, some persons dont like its design and colors, price around 7k

Thanks for your replies.

I saw some nokia phones support flash. i really dont remember the model numbers. does any one know which phones these are?
I think it was the 6300. How much does it cost?

What do you think i should get for my phone if i hand it in to the dealer. [one guy offered me 1K, but I think I should be getting atleast 2K]

ps: i dont mind sliders if they are sturdy
pps: EDGE is sorta-a-kinda important but i can bypass it.

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=-1]I am seriously considering the 6300, or the k550/750

[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=-1]What problems (if at all) does the 6300 have?

[ravi_9793]

I will suggest you K550i, if money is problem than k750i

 

[Pathik]

The 6300 has serious battery issues.. Also the speakers on it arent very good.. Rather get the 6233.

 

[infra_red_dude]

6300 heats up like hell! btw, 6233 is not available for 7k! Its more than that.

how is L9? my brother wants to go for this mode. he doesnot want any SE models ,
Primary Use: Heavy phone calls. need large phone book. budget 7K-8K Max. he has already broken many phones (I guess 6 till now) so doesnt want to invest more .. he broke his samsung E250 last month

 

[arunks]

6233 is avialable at rs.7800 only

Why didn't anyone suggest the Nokia 3110 classic? It is 5800 in Mobile Store. And has all of the above. Not very decent music playing capabilities though. Anyway you've mentioned that's not a deciding factor.

Thats coz it lacks in these departments:

> a camera [a decent one]
> expandible memory

About expandable memory, check the forums. Many people are facing a lot of problems with larger memory cards. Dunno if its a firmware issue or not.
