I am planning to buy a gsm handset under 15k.
my priorities are
1. good music player.
2. good camera.
3. easy navigation.
4. optional office work.

suggest some good models.....brand is not a problem.

You mean you want a smartphone...?

I suggest Nokia N72 (12800 /-) (I am using this one.)

Or Nokia N70 (15200 /-).

if just want a good music phone than go for spice mobiles they ae cheap and sounds better than nokia or sony erricson.

PLS dont buy spice take my word they arent durable they arent reliable infact did u know that spice only makes the low end phones and the high end phone (>rs10K) is made by asus and spice puts it's name on it.

Go for SE W810i no compromise w.r.t music and price being offered.

Since you want to open Office files such as .doc or .pdf etc, stay away from W810i, N72 is a good option

He said that it's just optional...so it suggested W810i.

teh best thing in motorokr e6 is a2dp plus they provide bt headsets wit the fone.. Btw linux os+ moto ui< symbian.. Never say nything to symbian os or ui.. Btw if u can extend ur budget more try 4 the w580i..

SE wseries don't support bluetooth music....so plz don't go for it....

N72 is a good option...... if u wana try something new go for motorokr.....motorokr doesnot have EDGE and (i think) no key pad...so u'll have to get busy with ur stylus.

also....visit the bible of GSMmobiles.... www.gsmarena.com

Go for Nokia 3250.

* Symbian OS 9.1 (S60v3) - what else can you want for a mobile OS.
* Excellent music
* Descent camera - With Firmware 4.14
* Unique Style - stand out among the normal phones
* Office app ( .doc, .Xls., .ppt), PDF apps, Scanner, Instant messenger, Email Clients, DivX Xvid videos, Music versatility (OGG, WMA, ACC, MP3, MP4 etc), Dictionaries, Team Suite ( Excellent Office teaming app), Podcasting and what not.
* Compared with most of the N Series and E Series phones from nokia and Moto and SE phones, i feel that 3250's keypad is the easiest and joystick an ease to use.
* You shall also be aple to play awsome and graphically cool games!!
* At below 15K, it is well withing your budget.

hey 3250 doesnt have 3G....that means if it arrives in india soon(maybe vodafone's contribution) u'll dearly miss it....

doesn't matter. vodafone won't enter till next 6 months and when it does 3g aint gonna be cheap man! so u can be sure being safe at least for an year!
