@Amohit- Nokia 5800 XM is better of the two and has got better features also.
I will be vary of the Samsung as most samsung mobiles i had seen had bad batter life.
No idea about HTC but a friend is using one and he is happy with it.

Just got a Nokia 5800 Xpress Music. The new one costs around 14k's all inclusive but misses on a lot of bits. First up, the TV Out is no longer supported and hence no A/V cable in the box, only one stylus if you loose it that would be it, connecting cable which is just 3 inches long, no carrying case and no desktop stand.
I managed to get myself the older version packing for 500 rs more, so i have got everything.

deathwalkr · 11th September 2009, 18:43

The HTC Viva is under 14k and you could pick up one for 11+ currently.

Guys bought a Nokia E63 (Black) today as my Motoroal E6 hell lot of problem in last 1.5 years.
I'm facing problem to transfer my contacts there in the SIM to phone memory. There is no option to copy all at a time and transfer.

Another problem may be because of my ignorance - I'm getting connected to Vodafone Live but when I'm trying to connect any other websites it showing packect data connection not available.

Can anybody help me out?

ariendj · 13th September 2009, 12:51

Around 20k seems to be a good deal. will it be a robust phone? I can go for omnia2 or I phone but am a stickler for VFM. Pls advise friends.

Jet is a great phone; get it or wait for E72

I got the 5800XM - the older model with TV-out/pouch/stand/spare stylus etc. Most retailers still have a piece, and they'll sell for the current price. @ 13.9K rupees, I think it's still good value. I think perhaps bargain hunters may still wait though; at this rate, this phone may be selling for 8-9k in 6 months

Will suggest you to stay away from Samsung phones. Bad battery, half-baked features, poor cameras & menu options are some of their main features. Their handsfree is not at all cool and there are many things that you will just not like. Go for Nokia E72 if QWERTY is the criteria, or BB 8900 which I'm coming to like everyday more and more. If you can live with a non-QWERTY phone, pick any sony (they all come with ActiveSync if you need Exchange Push Mail). Sony does have the best camera in business, along with music player & accessories.

I am looking for good camera phone having good zoom in it. 5 mega pixel is the minimum requirement with good music feature. Which one stand good in this. Can anyone suggest some good models.

Total media 5800XM= 13.5-14k but yes vastly superior screen. and gps too
E63 = 10.5k if you are a net addict like me, and awesome music can wait.

The p320 is slow with lots of applications. Good if you don't wanna multitask and run one thing at a time. Not excruciatingly slow, not fast either. the 527 = 320+ keyboard

saar,
for one hand, try the BB pearl.
if you wanna use two hands (i have big hands) - then other berries do it. Infact, I found the most antique the most comfortable - 8700g!

Its costing 19ish in gaon :(

What is everyone's experience with the blackberry 8310? I am thinking of buying that. Save wifi, it is quite the business phone and i plan to buy the personal email setup so that I have my personal emails and messenger on full time

Expect about 15-17k

Or does one say to buy E63 for 10.5k?

Thoughts/suggestions please.

The berry has a certain keeda to it, which is where the issue is!
