Don't you have anything to say about the kind of usage and what you prefer?
N70ME seems a really good phone in the range.

Its camera is absolutely fine. No problems. Its just as good as K750i/W800i. Its just that it doesn't have a lens cover like K750i/W800i.

K750i/W800i and W810i battery name among one of the most long lasting.

Nokia phone in your budget have only Max1GB Memory while with sony you can add up to 2 gb.

What you like? Music and cam than forget about Nokia within 15k, only N73ME shows equal report compare to W810i on Music and Camera front.

the best reason wud be saving in cash! when n72 has everything he needs why pay more for features that you don't need even tho u can afford it??? he put the saved cash elsewhere!

Why don't you look at the comparision yourself. I find W810i better cos it's easier to use one handed, though you will miss applications installation like in Symbian phone.

N73 ME has 3G which you won't be able to use in India anyway, it's heavy compared to W810i. Also has edge & a screen resolution of 320X240 with such video playback & bigger screen

If you want a slim trim phone get W810i, else get N73ME. Choice is yours

hey i feel that N73 ME would be the better choice if at all you had the budget.... just look at the config of N73 ME and that of W810i....
N73 has 3.15 megapixel while W810i has 2....
N73 has 3D Stereo Speaker... i think that is something to think about
regarding Music... well i feel that N73 is worth the price dudes... i myself have seen the piece and am convinced with it and will be buying it by the end of this month... well who says that Nokia N73 cannot support more than 1 GB memory... well N73i ME supports and also the retailer from where i got the details says that we get a 2GB memory card included with the Piece...
so what do u say???

Why you should choose W810i? Heres the comparison between w810i and N70 ME. See here

-W810i is comparitively slim and less weight.
-When you buy N70ME u will get 35+64=99MB total memory while w810i comes bundled with 512MB card apart from 20MB internal memory.
-The camera is better than N70. Also has autofocus.
-Walkman phone which is the best!

The only thing that seems promising in N70 is 3G.

agreed that the music n cam in w810i is better than n70...
but n70 has symbian app support wich makes it a lot better than the w810i...
n pls dont compare memory... u can get a 1gb mmc in 800 bucks...
btw wit n70me u get a 1GB card bundled...

810 is for 13~13.5k.
It has a good set of external speaker stand free.
It has got 512 card free.
It has got SEW series earplugs free which is way better that Nokia.
810 has Li-Polymer battery whose backup is much more than Nokia's Li-ion.
810 is light weight nd much handy that N70 ot N73ME.
It has decent built in speaker too.
It has Walkman player for music which is better than symbian's nd Music mode will give u bout twice music backup time.
810 has EDGE like Nokia.
SE phones doesn't slows down if u use huge mem cards with assorted data.(especially W).
It's torch light or flash is very useful.
U get some original music free with W phones.


There are much more to say bout W phones.

^^ i agree

i'd say if u are not a power user and won't fiddle around wid installing apps dun bother abt symbian! get a w810i. it satisfies all ur needs out of the box!
