Go for N82

very frankly speaking i also wanted to but N82 as it is a complete feature packed... but the looks are YAKS... so i simply didnt considered it and bought K850i... and i am loving this phone

go for n82 or g800

H

new price for N82 is 19.5k.
another fone worth a look is LG Viewty.its manual focus and 120fps videos r really kewl and they get the job done.

viewty is also available in new colours

I think its camera is better than N82 or K850 but what about its sound quality? Is it better than N82 or K850?

k850 beats any phone when it comes to sound quality..at par or better than walkman phones..it packs a punch to any phone out there..the interface is aweusm..psp style..u will love it...the k850 gives u that oomph factor that the others lack

Sony Ericsson K850i is the best as of now looking at your demand. But if your brother is at a place where he can access WiFi and would like to use it through phone you should think about N82 since thats the only thing it has extra compared to K850i

Maybe you'd like to go through their respective spec sheets again before commenting something like that.

And sreeejith, Camwise n82>k850i>viewty

what does ur bro want..if u want all the features in the n82 and can live with the way it looks.go for it..else look at the k850 .where do u live btw???does it have enough SE support...leave alone LG...go thru the service stations in ur area and then decide on what u r gonna do...

gimme a brk..

k850>=n82>viewty

all those reviews were done with the beta firmware..check out the new k850 pics at esato..u will know then..

Go for N82..It is a complete phone and is totally feature packed...

H

Omg!Lots of planktan here.

@OP

lease go for the N82.

H

K 850 have v.good audio quality(with earphones).But its implementation of "touch" & flash problems dont impress me.But it still won the Engadget "Best Phone(non-smartphone) award.N 82 is more feature packed.So the choice is urs.

according to this month's pc world
g800>viewty>n95 8GB>k850
dunno about n82

^^^planktan doesnt have the patent to good pics only..if u have been to esato..u know what pics the k850 can produce

+1 N82.

Sony Ericsson K850 ... I have seen the photos taken from that mob .... Its fantastic .....And as for music clarity Sony Ericsson is always the best...

S

i heard there is a TV-out option in N82. Will that thing work with all Tv?

Yes it will work...U can view videos and still photos on the TV by this...

^^ Not just that, but whatever is displayed on the phone's screen is also displayed on the TV screen. So you can also play games and browse the net using your TV, or if you have a bluetooth keyboard you can type emails like on the pc.

From the deepest depth of my heart, i thank estato members for not letting me to choose K850.Show me a single review where this $hitty phone held the top position with trillions of firmware updates.Too bad it still produces only 2-3 out 10 good pics coupled with crappy A200 platform.

@krazzy sorry but you are the one in need of ground check here.
*www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_k850-2003.php
That clearly states there is no WiFi in K850i

*www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n82-2177.php
and this one states that nokia N82 does.

And if you mean that was the only difference comment,I based that on performance of the music player and the camera of both. I have used both of them. And TV out feature just sounds very cool I dont find it that cool.

And specially looks wise K850i exceeds N82, I personally find it a bit ugly compared to other nokia phones.

Both of them now cost nearly same, so I guess it depends on you Shreejith as to which one do you want.

Just wi-fi doesn't quite explain the differences in features between N82 and K850i. N82 has a bigger display, stereo speakers, GPS, 3.5mm headphone jack, supports up to VGA resolution video recording at 30 fps, Symbian OS and as you mentioned, TV out and wi-fi. Plus there is the brighter Xenon flash and better camera performance and an auto-rotate function that works throughout the menu and not just in the media player, I think the extra money you spend is pretty well spent. In fact K850i seems like a rather poor deal in comparison. Its you money though. Spend it wisely or just blow it; what do I care.

Nothing beats Viewty's Cam

just look at 120fps video recording...
*www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp6eEU88cBE

^^^But who wants a cam shooting at 120 fps(other than filming a shooting bullet or a car in a f1 race)? 30 fps is enough for everyday use.

120 fps only works for slow motion videos. For normal videos the framerate is 30fps in Viewty.

+1...for n82.....

C

with k850i i think advatge is more
good camera + good music
its look is also very good
may be the keypad is problem for se users
but i have never any problem with se keypad

and i guess n82 doesnt have nothing of this at all....

Thanks for the suggestion guys. He just bought N82 for Rs.19,200

^^good decision man..
congrats

congrats on the purchase of ur new mobile...

whats the price of 850 . . i am still with 750 for 3 years now and waiting for 850 to come down to under 15k so that i can get it . . whats its current price

i got it 10days back ... 19200 in kolkata

WTF! Its 18k here in mumbai since the last 2-3 months.

i will wait for price to come down further . .

Hi friends, Can anyone tell whether N82 Black is available in India?

^^ Not yet.

-------------------------------------------

Check out this link guys. It has a camera comparison of Nokia N82, SE G900 and Samsung Soul. I guess its apparent which phone has a better camera.

^^^^again..this sucks..n82 is out in the market for more than 6 monhs while the g900 is yet under production...how can u expect a fair review??

I never said anything against G900. Nor did I say anything about N82. All I said is that its apparent which phone has the better camera. You are unnecessarily getting excited.

Speaking of new phones, Samsung U900 Soul is an equally new phone and still comes up with better pictures than G900. What is your explanation about that?

well..i trust SE to get the firmware right before release..still 2 months away..

btw samsung soul costs more than 25k INR while the g900 costs just 16k ...

Huh?! Who said G900 will cost 16k? P1i costs 18k here. :lol:

check out gsm...300 euros for g900 and g700 will retail for 250...

anad make no mistake..the g900 is not here to replace the p1i..the successsor the p1i wil be announced in may, and will sport a 5 mp cam, wifi, gps..et etc..an all in one phone from SE...

Thats exactly what I'm saying. G900 will not replace P1i, it will sell alongside it. So then how do you expect SE to sell P1i for 18k when the much more feature rich G900 costs less. Who in their right minds will go for P1i then?

arre yaar..but dude..the p1i here..the non-gps version costs only 15.5k here..u sure its 18k??

the p1i has a qwerty keyboard which the g900 lacks..a bigger screen,etc etc..doesnt the symbian phones by nokia sell side by side..it will just be a matter of taste...SE will announce more than 7 UIQ phones this year..a high end walkman with 5 mp cam,the p5i(hi end smartphone),low end smartphones,mid end walkmans...and obviously..the 7.2 shooter(will be on the a250 platform)..

Yup I'm sure, its 18k here. And I'm guessing the actual price of G900 would be around 20k while G700 will cost around 17k. By then P1i will also drop down to 17k so then if somebody wants a QWERTY keypad, he'll get P1i otherwise they'll get G700. If G900 costs 16 here, phones like K850i, P1i, W910i, W890i will become history.

Hey Krazzy

You seems to be doing a lot of R & D on mobiles & it's market strategies. You have natural inclination towards these latests tech gadgets.
And the way you share your knowledge here is simply awesome!

^^Thank you very much. I really appreciate your appreciation.

@Krazzy : nice link man....really N82 rocks......

even though dat BMW pic
was not good still.....+1 4 N82

Btw How much is the cost of N82 in Mumbai....will it be same in all regions
of mumbai I'll buy from thane....

Although i havent used both the phones specification wise N82 seems better

@krazzy...well..i know peaple who will still buy feature phones over the g900...the g900 is termed..uiq for the masses..and trust me..it will retail at less than 20k..more bout 18k mayb..and yea..the p1i will be out of production from august itself...he newer uiq phones will flood the market then..but the a200 platform will still hold an awesum market share...the g700 will be 15k at the max...300$ as quoted by mobile review...and SE and nokia phones generally cost a bit less here...
