which is the best mobile under 5k (color)

[hafees]

hi.

pls let me know whic ith the best mobile under 5k

(pls quote the pices of reliance CDMA phones also)

 

[gxsaurav]

don't know about relience, but for 5k, I prefer U go for SE T290 or widen your budget about Rs 1000 more to get the J200i

 

[drgrudge]

^ dont know why u talk abt SE only.

J 200i costs 5k
T230 costs rs. 4k

Both are cr@p.

Nokia 2600 costs 4.5k
Nokia 3100 costs 5k
3120 cost around 5.5 k

Samsung c100 rs. 4.5k
X100 rs 5k

LG G1600 rs. 4.5k

samsung and lg offers 65k colors when compared to 4k of nokia and SE.

So go for sms or Se in case u need colors and good display or go for nokia 3120 or 3100 or 2600 if u need a good performance phone.

 

[vignesh]

I think you should opt for the j200i my friend has it and its too cool.
anyway its your choice.

 

[drgrudge]

HMm X100 works out to be the one for you!

X100
* 65 k colors
* irda
* mms
* bigger display than other phones
* Reginal menus (tamil, marathi, hindi )

J200i has only irda, and also a good speaker. and X100 as well as j200i costs around 5k.

what about a budget camera phone. (around 8k ) ?

 

[gxsaurav]

SE T630 got the best cam in 8K catagory, but for 11k (Lucknow) U can get a K500I with 12 MB memory compared to 2 MB in T630

For other brands, well, I don't think there is any in 8K to match SE quality, maybe the X600

 

[svk]

there's a reliance camera mobile phone with rs 6900/-. its pretty nice.

 

[SmoothCriminal]

For <5000 : J200i

For <8000: T630

The above advice is feature-based.. But performance-wise, shell out few more bucks and go 4 Nokia..

<8000: 7250i,6610i

 

[eminemence]

Check out the Philips phones in the C3XX series they
have nice features and priced very less.
Bye.

Hmm

SAmsung X600 is the best Camera mob for around 8k.

In case of performance, go for 6610i or 7250i. WE can get 3200 for 7k also...

 

[hafees]

what abt reliance cdma based phones. i heard that that is very cheap

 

[hbk88in]

yeah dude there's an LG camera phone which reliance is giving for like 6800 bucks...gota say...impressed with the camera and the loudness of the ringtones.
But if ure looking for GSM....the best phone under 5k will be SonyEricsson J200i (Rs.4900, New Delhi)...why u ask?
coz it has GPRS,MMS,Infrared port which actually works like the better SonyEricsson Models, Loud Speaker for ringtones,MUCH better looking than the Nokia's. The Samsungs and LG's are all crappy coz dey have a very irritating user interfrace...
and for around 8000 you can get Nokia 6610i and 7250i for about Rs.8200(new delhi).
T610 is another option but the memory is like 2 mb ,whereas the nokia's are offering 4 mb.
Samsung X600 is another option...has the best camera in its range...but a very irritating phone again...u cant record voices, the ringtones are not loug enough, no vibration and ringtone at the same time....so its really bugging...
I suggest the Nokia 6610i if you are goin till 8k and The J200i if ure planning on stayin till 5k.

FYI: x100 doesnt have irda

 

[infra_red_dude]

which one among these 4 cellphones??

hey ppl suggest me a phone under 5k. i plan to buy a not-so-high end gprs phone. i want it to connect to my computer to suft the net via airtel mobile office gprs service apart from the normal usage.

i haf set my eyes on samsung x100, se t230, se t290 and se j200i.......

which phone do u recommand most? i like the 65k screen of the x100 plus 9mb of memory wich the sony ericssons lack.....j200i has 640kb mem, dunno abt t230 n t290. x100 also has java n mms, rite? wot do u ppl say??? which one do u ppl vote for? and how has been the satisfaction of you customers regarding the 4 phones mentioned above??

 

[hbk88in]

yeah X100 would be the best option...but again...irritating samsung UI. The D*** phone does not ring and vibrate at the same time...except in its own ringtones and the specials one's dat u can download...the screen is almost the same but ugly phone man...J200i is the best since you jus wana use it for GPRS and normal usage. Plus the infra-red on the J200i works awesome soz u can transfer stuff from and to ure comp. .Don't be fascinated with the 9 Mb memory...ule wanna throw that phone away after a month...i used Samsung X600 for 2 months and then got so irritated that i shifted BACK to the SonyEricsson T610.
N e how if u like the samsung interfrace....then jump towards the X100, otherwise choose SonyEricsson J200i

 

[drgrudge]

Go for X100

* MMS, gprs
* bigger screen
* local language menu (tamil, marathi, hindi, etc..)

Or j200i
* IRda
* clear sound and good speaker

 

[infra_red_dude]

[drgrudge]

T230 is also good and will cost u rs. 4k
T230 wont have a good speakers as j200i has..., so it's upto u to decide...

Nokia 3220 --> rs. 10k Or even less.
