As simple as it can be >> I wanna buy a good phone with Rs 8000/- to F**K
I already own a sony J200i and man does it s**k. The lag while typing an SMS is horrible and it doesn't have a manual network selection option. The chaging takes ages and doesn't work sometimes either. I think the battery meter is also wrong, it shows low battery even after a charging for 2 hrs. The joystick doesn't work sometimes too.

Ah! enough of badmouthing. The point is I'm enough pissed off by my phone that I don't wanna try a SE phone now.

I'm looking for a good camera phone, no noisy phones please (the noise in sony W550i's photos is horrible). support for memory expansion and a music player.

If u say W550's cam as horrible....u would be shocked to see other 1.3mb nokia phones especially during low light conditions.
All the 2mb cam phones from SE are gr8. J200 is really a very old model nd now that conditions has changed nd SE phones are the hottest selling ones.

Well as from my experience of SE..their low end model arent too gud...
but their higher end models are far better thn nokia in terms of pricing and features offered...
Even some of my friends having low end SE models have joystick problem.
W550i is a gr8 phone...dunno abt camera quality...

changed my mood. will get a 6-10 month old second hand phone so the "actual" budget will roam at around 11000.

Get some 2nd 800i or a new k750i.

See there is actually no noise in most 2mp SE phones.
See this: this was taken on my W700 cam:

But lil noise can be seen if the cam is shaken during click.

It's as good as pics from my 3230 which was bought for 15K. So, you can guess the difference b/w camera quality of SE and Nokia phones.
