which is the best mobile under 5k (color)

[infra_red_dude]

yeah...N3220 retails for abt 9k....n i heard the screen resolution is bad in t230 wid pixalated graphics. i think j200i is the best option.

btw how much will a j200i cost approx? wot abt grey market price?

J200i will cost about 3.6k , grey market will be around 3.2k

 

[gxsaurav]

Now since that Sony has launched the J300i, i say hold on for a while about 1 month & then buy this one, 12 Memory, no cam, good stereo speakers

Still if u can spend a bit more money then buy the K500i, stay away from K300i

 

[infra_red_dude]

any idea what would be the approx cost of j300i. also is j300i an EDGE enabled phone?

 

[drgrudge]

i Dont know wht gx is talking about..., but i dont think j300i has been released and it will take a lotof time to come in here, and it wont have EDGe, of cource. No SE (atleast in India) dont have EDGe.

hey buddy...j200i for just 3.6k!!! man thats a steal!!!

ps: i think this thread must be moved to the QnA section

 

[hbk88in]

ok here are the answers to ure questions (@ infra_red_dude)

1) Yes J200i Supports USB data cable interfrace...but it sux coz i dun think u can transfer games n stuff...its better if u buy an INFRA RED PORT (LOL)

2)J200i supports midi and maybe .amr ringtones too
3)it should support .amr recordings coz the older ones (t230) sure did...
4)JPEG and GIF for sure...not sure bout WMBP
5)It supports GPRS class 8....
6)no the driver n software cd is not provided

3.6k for J200i? Seriously? man daz cheap...i got a T230 last yr for like 7k!!!!

and j300i has just been announced...so it means its gonna take bout a month or two to get here...good phone though...SonyEricsson's Raisin the bar again....WOOO!!!
btw i think ya'll shud chek out the SonyEricsson Z800i, K750(Clara) and W800 (clara ka papa)....awesome phones...

[infra_red_dude]

infra red for transfering games n stuff?? why cant the usb data cable to it??

n z800 n k750 will be too expensive buddy. dun want that expensive ones. just gprs n gen usage.

 

[hbk88in]

see when i had my SonyEricsson T610, I couldnt transfer any games to my mobile phone, i could only transfer ringtones and wallpapers through the PC Suite. But then there's this software...which i dont think exsists now which can transfer games to the phone...i found it at one of em underground sites...soz only buy a data cable if you can find a software like that...otherwise go for an 'Infra-red' port....

yeah i kno the K750 and Z800 will be totally out of ure league...but dere's no harm in chekin em out rite? maybe in a month or two ile have one of em

2) good voice clarity
3) good signal reception
4) great design, prob the best looking phone in this category
5) loud speaker
6) good production of bass instruments
7) flawless connectivity with computer thru infra red
8 ) good screen layout
9) supports MID, WBMP, GIF and JPEG files

cons:
1) average battery life
2) bit sluggish interface
3) no mms support
4) no amr recording/playing support
5) no send to many (on spot) option (though you can send to pre-defined groups)

overall a pretty decent phone available for that price. am satisfied.
