I read somewhere that SE800 doesn't sound better/equal than SE750.Is it true?

How is the sound quality of moto razr v3 as compared to SE750/800?

I just bought V3 i , The i tunes rock ! camera has got lot of adjustments . I got it for 11500/- .You get a free leather pouch and lot of other accesories . The cool quotient you get the phone is just great ...!!!!

Just bought SE K750i last week for 12.75 K....Superb phone and nice 2MP camera...still getting used to it as most of the functions (like keypad lock) are opposite of that in nokia....excellent sound quility and come with the memory expantion slot ...

well........few days back i checked SE 800 and i was disappointed with its SQ as compared to moto E398 which i tried few months back.I had heard before that SQ of SE800 is worse than SE750.

so now i think i should try from moto razr v3x/roqr2/780.What u guys have to say?

I wonder why only Nokia mobile phones are so easy to unlock! Most Nokia phones can be unlocked without any cable, just typing a number (often freely available from internet).
Other manufactueres mobiles often require cable connection & EPROM programming - hardly everyone's job.
Any specific reasons why Nokia makes phones in this way?

does he have an UNLOCKED phone? he might not if he bought phone frm cingular, verizon, t-mobile store in the US. the phone will have to unlocked first.

condor · 11th July 2006, 10:06

Since the phone is currently being used there, it should be directly usable here. Just confirm that it is a tri-band, and GSM, and you should be set.

Ketan · 11th July 2006, 15:38

Yeah, Make sure its an unlocked phone.
The phone co. as cheap deal has mentioned here normally sell their phones in the deals and those phones are locked, cannot be used with any other providers.

If thats the case, you might need to visit those hackers who are unlockin such phones from foreign countries, else you can directly start using it.

motorola E398 is specifically developed as a music phone.

hence its got the right sound and graphics drivers from ATi to help improvise on these fronts.

RoKR 2 which is an excellent music phone is not yet available freely in India.

Hey Guys,

How is the Nokia 6708 phone. Intend use for business purposes only. Getting it for 18.5k with B&W. Thinking of trading it for my Nokia 6630 as am not too happy with it.

I am using the Motorola A780, it's a decent phone, though doesn't have Wi-Fi.
