Suggest me a cell under 15 k

[Count Dracula]

I've decided to buy a phone for myself under 15k. I would mainly use it for Music,Camera and Talking.I won't browse the net with this current phone (Crap and no unlimited plans).I want music from it CLEAR and LOUD.My current Nokia 3230 just sucks and its not loud,I am fed up.I want it to look sexy also.Brands which come to mind are:-

Nokia

Nokia 5300 Xpress Music ( I don't remember any other Xpress Music released in India)<----Does a memory card come bundled with this?,If yes,How much GB/MB's?
Nokia N73 Music Edition

Sony Ericsson
Sony Ericsson W810i (Walkman)
Sony Ericsson K790i (Cybershot)
And how many GB's exactly do you recieve with Sony Ericsson K790i?.Azzu mentioned 1GB,But I am still not sure as Wavtelmobiles.com does not mention any.

You are free to suggest any model from above or any other under 15 k. I would mind waiting uptil Diwali gets over but,I think I would recieve better discounts DURING Diwali.

Regards,
Sid.

w580i + a moto s9.. cos u just need the music..
else n73me..

 

[girish.g]

k790 or k810
k790 comes with a 1GB card and k810 comes with 2 GB

 

[azzu]

Dracula it comes with 1 gb u can also Xpand it to 2 gb (Eeh ? right ??)
also see new 5710 XM
Moto rokr E6

 

[girish.g]

5710???
it is 5700 or 5610

 

[krazzy]

In 15k i'll suggest SE K810i. Btw the upcoming N81 has really good sound quality. But it'll be expensive (20k+).

Hmm... Everyone is giving different opinions.And whats "Moto S9"?.From my knowledge I remember its a bluetooth headphone,But will It support SE?

@Azzu
How can you expand 1GB to a 2GB ( Its literally impossible IMO)

And yes,I need some means to transfer my pictures to my PC too.Data Cable would be fine,wouldn't it be?.IMO it would be bundled up with most of those cells.Or I'd buy a Bluetooth Dongle

Tell me one thing,Which one is reliable, The bluetooth dongle or the data cable?( In this case I mean faster,without any compatibility issue).And, Are K790 and K790i different pieces? Or is it Girish's typo?

And remember I need Bluetooth too.(For sending and recieving music and pics)
.And moderate gaming too xD.I am just a 12 year old kid.This is my time to play!(Please,I am not nerd).
PLEASE dont mind such n00by questions as I had no interest in technology earlier,Started to have a little now.So I am learning.

Thankyou.

Yes

@Azzu

He prolly meant you can trade 1gb for 2gb.

Data cable. But it restricts your freedom. You may feel the heat when you wanna control the movie you are playing while sitting comfortably on your bean bag!

1. Yes everybody gives different opinion. But mine usually rocks

2. Yes S9 or Snoop as motorola calls it is a bluetooth stereo headset and can work with any phone supporting A2DP bluetooth profile.

3. He meant you can upgrade to a 2gb card.

4. Yes you'd get a data cable with K790i/K810i. Fastest means to transfer data would be a memory card reader, then comes data cable and then slowest would be bluetooth.

5. K790 and K790i are the same.

6. 12 year olds are not the only ones to play games. Games are played by people of every age.

Yes,But I'l be kinda heavy on this phone on gaming.

@Infra_Red_Dude: "Trade" the memory card?.So I can give back the bundled 1GB and recieve 2GB at a discount?.Wierd.

Some shops allow that. Check wid your dealer.

How's Sony Ericsson W800i?.Nobody suggested me that.I'd be be preety cool If I exchange my 512MB card for a 1/2 GB card,Won't it be?.The headphones supplied with it are pretty good too.(Techtree Review).

 

[infra_red_dude]

W800i is a discontinued product.

Why not Apple iPhone? $399 which converts to less than Rs 16k (and keep decreasing day by day!)?

Music - The phone with an iPod with 8 GB memory
Camera - 2 MP, but not the best in mobiles
Talking - yeah, yeah
Bluetooth - yes, Wi-Fi is icing on the cake
Sexy - Are you kidding me?


But if you're not getting it from the USA, then the next choice would be Nokia N 73 ME as it's an all round phone.

iPhone costs 23k here in Mumbai. It is not officially available hence in case something goes wrong you cannot service it. Music playback is good but due to recessed connector only default headphones can be used or needs an adaptor to connect other headphones. The bluetooth can also be used just for a bluetooth headset. You cannot transfer files over it or use stereo bluetooth headset.

 

[drgrudge]

^^
The non availability of service is a risk that we need to take. I know it's expensive here, thats why I mentioned to get that in USA only.

Thanks for the BT and headphones info, didn't know abt them. By the way, if I buy in the USA, can I unlock it here in India? Plus is there any way that I can have FM playback?

 

[krazzy]

^^ Yes the phone can be unlocked here. Actually you can do it yourself to, although its a risky job.

I don't think there is anyway you can use fm on iPhone. Apple does sell an fm headset for the iPod but i've no idea whether it can be connected to the iPhone.

Btw there are other shortcomings of iPhone too apart from the ones that i mentioned. You might want to check them out before buying.

 

[Count Dracula]

Wtf W800i is being discontinued..This made the choice even more TOUGHER.N73ME wouldn't be coming with a data cable too.And in pictures section I saw K750i's picture quality better than N73ME.Srsly what should I do?.I am losing trust in Nokia and now Sony Ericsson is discontinuing my choice.

GAWD HALP!.

 

[krazzy]

^^ N73 ME comes with a data cable. Either go for this phone or K810i.
