Hi friends. After using Nokia 3230 for Years Now I am thinking of buying a New mobile. But I don't want to spent more this time. Earlier that was 14000 when I bought 3230. But this time my budget is around 5000 can be 1 or 2 hundreds more.
What i am looking for:

1. Best Music phone in that price range.
2. F.M. Radio.
3. Camera Not a problem. As I use a digicam for photography.
4. Good quality headphones.
5. good battery backup.
6. Other features don't matter more.

Thanks.

I can vouch for Nokia 3500c. Well it is for 5k, not sure if it has been discontinued (not in touch with the mobile market much). It is not strictly a music phone either. Has good battery and fm and has decent headphones.

That said, I would recommend you buy any phone with a 3.5mm headphone jack (same as PC headphone/speakers slot). 3500c does not have this. It helps as you can connect many more headphones to your phone then. :)

Look for 5130 XM. It is a much better choice than 3500c for a music phone.

Get 5130(5.3k) eyes closed. But to enjoy its full potential you need to invest in some good earphones.

*OR*

Buy 2700(4k) + philips shp9700(~1k) if you are very strict in budget.

Well, vv
Well, i really needed a mobile so i have to go for it.. :) I have not still bought the mobile just going to buy it tomorrow or so......
But i have consulted my 2-3 friends who use this mobile and they said its pretty good..
Though this mobile costs Rs.5000 but still i think this is the best mobile in nokia under Rs.7000 in performance as well as in sexy look...
P.S.: Nice way of quoting..hehe

The headphones provided are very very poor. They sound nothing in comparison to i Pod headphones.
I am having one piece of sony erection ear plugs in spare. How can I use them with my mobile.

hey if brand is not an issue for you then better go for samsung s3310.. much much better than nokia 5130.
I personally bought this @ 4316/- inc taxes. and believe me music quality is far better and louder than nokia's also the earphones provided are of superior quality and can be used as 3.5mm jack .

I personally compared the two phones played same song and also took pictures.. samsung scores best in all areas.
just have a second thought and take a look at samsung s3310 and do compare them..
hope u'll also get in love with it ..

Well, yesterday i went to buy Nokia 5130 XperssMusic and the vendor suggested me not to buy this phone because they have received alot of complain regarding this mobile that software is not good, mobile hangs too much and blah blah stuff...Is that so toofan???
If so then i will go for Motorola-ZN200

I wouldnt recommend this phone as it has just 2MP Camera, just 2 GB expandable memory and it is a slider.
