Hi fellas,
Which is the best mobile for a budget of 14K,
It should have really excellent audio quality,
Camera should be very decent,
And it should have either 3G or EDGE(Which is better?)
And it should have expandable of upto 2GB(preferibly 4GB)
So which is the mobile which has all of this.

Nokia 5700. It has excellent sound quality, decent camera, both 3G as well as EDGE (although 3G is not available in india yet) and memory is expandable upto 2gb (and although not tested yet but i think it should work with the 4gb micro SDHC).

^^ N72 doesn't have good audio quality.

Yes, 5700 has Symbian OS 9.2! Its one of the best music phones by Nokia, also has lots of other features.

In SE, you can consider W610i/W810i

SE W850i>>>>SE W830i>>>>>SE W610i

The ultimate music trio!!!

In Nokia ONLY N91 has quality music!!! ( N91 has DSP,neither N95 nor 5700 has it!!!!)

^^ The dedicated audio chip in 5700 is good enough and it sounds next best to N91 and even better than N95.

5700 doesn't haf autofocus. if u want decent cam quality in today's world, i wudn't recommend it. 2mp wid AF is the bare minimum these dayz. i'd suggest the SE w610i. but if u say its ok widout AF then 5700 and n70me are contenders.

^^ 5700 is better due to the dedicated audio chip. 5700 does not come with any bluetooth headphones.

ok how much will the Nokia 5700 cost?
And is the audio quality better then the SE w80i?
And how does the Nokia 5700 camera perform?
And with its Symbian 9.2 OS can i install many apps
And since the Nokia 5700 has a twisting mechanism will it cause any problems.

5700 costs around 16k n it has dedicated audio chip which makes crystal clear hi-fi sound. It is best music fone. I didnt heard about its cam but 2 mp is enough for capturing general photos. nokia forum

If you can extend you budget by another 2.5 to 3k, I'd suggest you to go for the Sony Ericsson P990i. I has got everything you could ever dream of having in a phone. If it's strictly 14k then I think the N70 ME should solve the purpose.

n70ME with 1Gb card bcomes soooooooooo much slow...go for w810i if sybian is not necessary..
also if walkman "LOGO" isn't necessary K750i still rulez. better cam than W610i, K550i.
