My friend wants to buy a music phone within a budget of 15k. He has narrowed down to 3250 and W810i. He likes the 3250 good looks, screen and particularly its 'loud'speaker. Whereas he also admires the headset quality of the W810i. He wants good quality from both headset as well as speaker. We all know the 3250 is no good at headset quality. So which one should he go for?

I will suggest w810i. Its best.
Sound wise w810i is better.
Camera wise both have same 2MP. But quality of w810i is better.
But 3250 has Symbian, w810i lacks it.

In my opinion buy N3250.. coz i own both w800i and N3250.. and frm my personal experience i can say that when it comes to features and performance than 800i is nowhere near 3250..
camera quality may be bettr in w800i, plus bundled headphones are bettr in it..
headphones with n3250 sux... so i wud suggest u to get N3250 and buy a betr headphones (maybe ipod's)... ipods headphone with n3250 makes a killer combo!!!!

except EDGE every thing in 800i and 810i are same... there is hardly and diff. between those 2 phones.
yes N3250 sports a 3.5mm jack (via an adaptor) like in 800/810i...
and regardin apps, all java apps will work on it.. and all neccesary symbi apps have already been developed for it..

And many people comment on Symbi's UI...
this is the kind of UI my N3250 sports.

lol... dude yesterday only i transferred abt 100MB songs on ma 3250.. it took less than 4mins...
and regardin procci, N3250 has one of the fastest procci...

the piece u were using might be faulty... coz N3250 has Bluetooth 2.0
which means bettr speed...
i've tried transferring many songs frm my 800i to 3250.. a 5MB song doe'nt take more than 4-5mins..
