Well guyz, help me out with your suggestions.........I have a budget of 8k and my only MUST HAVE requirement is that it can accept MMC or SD card mainly.I want a versatile Mp3 player probably even FM with it. Camara is not the biggest issue the issue is music.........Well thnx for any help fellas. ;)

There isn't any good phone left in the market which supports MMC and the only SD supporting phone in the market in ROKR E6, which is way beyond your budget. Looking at your requirements and budget, i'll recommend SE W700i.

I'll suggest you buy only original memory cards. I've had a bad experience with one fake M2 that i bought. It only lasted a couple of days after purchase before getting permanently corrupted.

8k, SD, music? Sorry pal! Outta luck!!!! No brand there which will satisfy all these needs.

Nokia 6233 - average music and cam, supports microSD
SE W700i - better music than 6233, average cam, supports Memory stick pro duo
SE K750i - music: somewhat between 6233 and W700i, great cam, supports Memory stick pro duo

I wouldn't recommend buying N3500 so soon.

Nokia 5300.... Used it for a month... it sux big time.... I wanted to buy this one but after testing it for a month I canceled it and bought N72.

Don't go for Nokia 5300.

If you are not so concerned about Brand you can check out some mobiles from Spice And Fly. They are cheap (in cost) but certainly not cheap quality.
