Re: SUGGESTIONS : Pls Suggest a Mobile in 6-7 K range!

Hi vishal , I recently bought a SE k300i for 6500 bucks.
It have a decent camera , support voice ringtones (like AMR, MP3) , it is a color phone ofcourse , but it dont have a radio , although the sound quality is very good.

BTW , u r planning to buy quite a few gadgets , got a jackpot????

 

[Vishal Gupta]

hehe
thnx for ur reply dude!

Actually I needed printer and PEN drive since a few days and now I hv decided to purchase a mobile too...

I needed both Voice ringtones and radio

The only one that fits your bill is Nokia 6610i. However, if you are ready to forgo the camera, then 6030 will also cover the rest of the points and you will save a few bucks as well

BTW, 6030 is a great phone in that price range! I will prefer it over 6610i simply because the pics clicked with that one are pretty useless. You have to later sit and delete them while selling the phone You can't even have them printed because they are very low res

i second that. xcept for the fact that it doesn't haf expandable memory...its the perfect choice! wid a li'l memory management techniques you can get over that problem too!

 

[Jatin_T]

Yeah..dat seems to be a good option..or if u can manage with a little less memory tooo..try k500i..SE has a good range of less memory fones in dat price range..dotn even remmeber the model no.s!

 

[aku]

wat abt moto l6.. fits ur budget

 

[Vishal Gupta]

@tuxfan
Does 6610i support Voice ringtones? Pls confirm it.

And yes! What do u guys say about moto slvr L6 ?

PS: The phone must support Voice ringtones and must hv Radio

 

[gary4gar]

moto slvr l6 is a slim trim set but no mem cars support.

 

[Vishal Gupta]

Can ne1 here pls make a list of the phone models (Sony Ericsson, Nokia and Motorola), which support Voice ringtones and also hv Radio and fall under my BUDGET?

It'll be very helpful to me to choose the right phone from that list meeting to my requirements!

I'll really appreciate ur efforts guys!

 

[Vishal Gupta]

OK Guys!
I found 2 gr8 phones meeting to my requirements but the prices are little bit higher than my budget:

Nokia 6101
SE k700i

Some links showing their features r as follows:

Nokia 6101 :

On India GSM
On UniverCell
On Fone Arena

SE k700i :

On India GSM
On UniverCell
On Fone Arena

So pls guys suggest me which one should I go for?
Or if u think ne other phone under this range, then pls mention here...

 

[infra_red_dude]

i suggest k700i!

 

[Jatin_T]

Man the 6101 doesnt even compare...where does i say it suports voice ringtones..wid only 4 mb memory..what mp3 could u use..

The k700i is the only option for u i guess..and its worth the extra money..let me assure u dat!

 

[PinKLip]

Donot think abt expandable memory,
SE700i has arround 40MB space, u can store abt 8-10 mp3 songs
Go 4 SE700i

 

[True Geek]

SE 700i would be a better option.

U'll not regret the purchase
thats a promise from an X-k700i user.

It suits all ur requirement.
Sound quality is awasome and radio reception is quite good too.

 

[Vishal Gupta]

I read on some sites about some problems in SE k700i, like the phone hangs when we edit or add an entry in the phone book. Is it true?

Or ne other cons in this phone that u guys will want to share?

btw I liked this phone after reading many reviews on net and our DIGIT forum

 

[PinKLip]

SE K700i is a bit slow
I always take snap in size 1280*960(extended size),so whenever want to open my picture folder after taking a new pic, it take times to view the thumbnail(3-4 sec),but once it is open it does not take time to reopen it after closing it .

 

[True Geek]

Or ne other cons in this phone that u guys will want to share?

The fone is fast. Menus are fast and it hangs rarely, say 1nce a month or even less.

One problem though. Even though it has 41 mb, the SMS memory is different. Thats y after 70-80 msgs in ur INBOX, the SMS memory will be full,even tho you may have 40mb free.
Ots annoying

 

[Jatin_T]

the exact capacity is aroung 95 sms+sim card sms..and u can always backup them to pc using Floats mobile agent/my phone explorer..dats one adjustment u have to make wid the k700i!
