i have 4-5K max to spend on a phone, my requirement is that it needs to have a good sound clarity, i like SE w200i the new pice here in bangalore is around 4.5k.
i am ready to buy a second hand phone too.
so please suggest me some nice phones in this range. if it has bluetooth it would be great, but sound should be best.
i am getting money by this weekend.

if u dont mind a bit low quality screen ..and a trendy slider design ..then u shld go for Nokia 5200

Pros:
Good Sound
Slider Design looks cool
Great Keypad for msging
Edge,Bluetooth,Mini USB,Infra Red
Dedicated music-sound-camera keys.
Support for 3.5 audio output(via a convertor jack) so that u can connect better headphones (like Creative EP-630) or ur pc speakers

Cons:
Below par camera and screen ..
Slider Design (sum ppl dnt like it)

If u can extend somewhat ur budget than Nokia 3110 Classic is also good.

I think the price is around 5k. :)
