S60 v9.1 is also called as S60 3rd edition. E50 and N70 are evenly matched. E50 has better display, newer os and has a slim sleek body. N70 on the other hand has 3G with front video camera, 2mpix camera with flash and CIF resolution video recording and has lots more software written for it. You cannot use W700i memory card (MS PRO DUO) in either E50 (microSD) or N70 (DV RS-MMC). My suggestion would be to go for 5700 which is better than both these phones.

It has a unique form factor with a rotating block with regular keypad on one side and music keys on other side. It has a 16M colour QVGA display, stereo speakers, A2DP and excellent sound quality.

No. OS v7 and v8 apps/games/themes don't run on OS v9.1. There are apps specifically designed for this version. They have .sisx extension.

for me cheapest would be Nokia 6630. 3230 & 6681 were launched after it, but yet are priced low coz they crappy. 1-1.5k higher price is justified by 6630 rock solid stability and fast proccy.

Dude, dont go for S60v2 or S60v1. Be uptodate, for your cheapest budget, you wont be able to get S60v3fp1, better go for E50 which comes for around 10K. Or go for Nokia 3250, which shall be around 12K.
