Hello everyone,

I am confused about which mobile I should take in the 10K-15K Range.

The features which I need are
* A good or an excellent camera
* Stylish
* Having Good Battery Life ( Mostly for sending Messages )
* Having 3G facility ( I have a Vodafone SIM )
* Music playing capabilities ( Without the charge going down too much!! )

I have the following in mind

*Nokia N73 Music edition
*Samsung SGH G600
*Moto Razr 2 V8 ( 2GB )
* Sony Ericsson K790i

You can suggest any other mobile also, not only among these.

I will be thankful to anyone who replies

Thanking you,
Sagar

N73 music edition is an all rounder (has got symbian , edge, 3g)

K810I for camera and music ( got only 3G)

exlude all the others ( fight btw these two :D:D)

If you can extend your budget 1k then, K850i suits your needs. Excellent 5mp camera, super stylish (IMO), excellent battery life and has 3g too. However it's not symbian.

If you are bent towards getting a symbian phone, then N73 is the perfect allrounder in your budget.

in the shops i can't find it to be priced at 16K only futurebazaar does and no one's gonna buy from there

actual cost of K850I = 17259rs

and now futurebazaar has priced it at 19590rs

^^^ Sorry krates, but this time I was not referring to the price at futurebazaar.

I went to the e-zone shop in our city and then are giving it at a price of 16k.
I don't know about other places though.

buy n81 only for the wifi. else buy k810 or w890

I think n81 is kinda specialized device. Its aimed towards gaming and music only . It cannot be called allrounder .

N73 is better suited for threadstarter.

If camera is not much important then rokr e8 might be a good consideration.

And Razr2 ka naam mat lena

k790i has not 3g
for the 3g, best 3 mega pix camera and stylish look go with k810i. check the keypad one before buying this.
for the music and other good stuff you also go with 81
or just buy 5 mp cam g600 in this budget

If you need a smartphone with Symbian, then get N73ME.....

If you need a feature phone with better camera and sound than N73ME, then get Sony Ericsson C702.....It isn't a smartphone and it won't have Symbian. It also got GPS.

The bottom line....if you need a smartphone with a powerful OS, then get N73ME or else get C702 which has got better camera & music playback....

While I won't suggest any cells to "buy" I will definitely suggest you cells "not-to-buy". If you are spending upto the likes of 15k AT THIS POINT OF TIME, IT MAKES NO SENSE TO BUY K790i OR N73. THEY MAYBE ALL ROUNDS BUT THEY ARE OUTDATED FOR SURE. You wudn't wanna spend upto 15k and end up with the most common SE/Nokia cellphone out there. Be different.

Everywhere I see.. people either haf K790i or the N73!!

Why not the RAZR2 V8. Motorola phones are the most customizable ones in the market. They have great ergonomics and their firmwares can be upgraded and modified a lot (and I mean it cause I've finally enabled EDGE on my V3i).

if ur spending 17k better get 6220 Classic than SE K850i.
6220 Classic has the same cam module as N82.has Xenon Flash.so the cam just rox.
though body build quality is not the best,still its good enuf.
best part is it has FP2.checked out the fone bout an hr ago.it was worth buying for 17k.
has GPS but no WiFi.

Also note that Nokia 6220 classic comes with only 512 Mb memory card. So you may need to spend more to upgrade.
