ok i need a cell phone and ive narrowed my choices 2 4 nokias:

6260, 6230, 6600, 6670

6230 is perfect except 4 its small screen and no symbian....
6260...no external display
6600: might not get it as the dealer near me will take some time 2 get it...im leaving monday....
6670: price a lil high 4 the features it offers....

im probably not gonna use this phone 4 a long time....i will upgrade 2 a 3G handset when these services become more easily available in the US....which will take at least a year...

should i get the 6230??? it has a stereo MP3 and FM radio....the price differences between the 6230 (15k), 6600 (15k), and the 6260 (17k) r negligible....

depends on your needs, what u need in a phone more, a great cam, more memory, or good "phone" features

if U need cam, then go for SE S700i,
if U need phone features a k700i is good

Else I would say go for 6600 atleast it got symbian & expandable memory

boss if u dun need it for long why models like 6670 ?
even 6260 ?
if the choice is just between these then just work on 6600 for now
still a good piece .. cuz ur gonna upgrade soon
u wont feel the pinch that much
cant remember 6630 so cant comment :D

lol @nemi...

Nemisis 6670 is way too costly at 24-25k why would u need to invest so much when u are not gonna use it for a long time?

It has got to be between 6260 or 6600.

6230 has no symbain and 6260 is a better choice, when u compare 6260.

6600 or 6260, as of now , IMO.

And the phone selection depends on ur requirements.

well guys...thanx 4 ur advice....i decided on the 6230...i ditched the 6670 coz it was a lil expensive...even though i was getting it 4 19.5k

i ditched the 6260 coz i was not sure y i would get a clamshell with no external display and a weight of 130g....

it was down 2 6600....but as i said, it would take time and i cant wait....plus the 6230 has FM and MP3 which i find more useful than symbian...i will probably not use symbian 2 the full extent anyway.....i wanna wait until there r better phones with symbian....plus, the 6600 uses a different type of connector 4 its cable and headset....6230 uses pop-port...plus, 6230 is nice and compact....

thanx again....i will get the phone 2day evening or 2morrow morning...
