Sterio MP3 = Motorola E398

But I don't think it has FM support.

E398 does not have FM (no flex mod or flash mod). And all the other mp3 players wont give you as good a sound quality as the e398. SO its your choice.

I will suggest u to go for Ngage QD....why do u need USB as you can hav card read\writer in 350/-
it provides so many feaures & brilliant 4K screen which is better than most of the 65Ks

Yes, it dont has it.. , but we got a extra accesories with which we can get a headset and hear FM radio.

I suggest you to get a E398 as well... Read my review here:

K700i:
+ It has FM and MP3 both
- No expandable memory, only 41MB memory, so not good enough for storing many MP3s. Also mono speaker, instead of E398's sterio speakers.
- It is 13K not 9K

K300i:
- No FM
- If 41MB of K700i is not enough, then what about 12MB of this phone? Will store 1 or 2 songs only. 6-8 at low quality.

The MP3 tag on these SE phones is better for MP3 ringtones, not for songs. Any phone without expandable memory is bad excuse for MP3 player.

motorola E398 is good
+ sterio speakers,
- memory cant be extended(41 MB).
But, if you are a techno geek, you can reduce the songs
to 64kbps & thereby you can copy many songs on it :wink:,
with some part still free.

Ngage
+ bluetooth, gprs, memory card,
- but the looks is not that good
btw
my friend has ngage,
he said when the headphones are attached the sound is sterio.....
.....this is something different.

Can any1 clear this point!!

k750i, moto razor v3

Hey guys,
i was just looking for the rates of new mobiles on the net, and the only places i could find was ebay.in and shopping.rediff.com. Could u guys suggest some sites where i could get prices for latest gadgest in INDIAN RUPEES.

I've just started earning, and plant to spend all of my 2nd salary on mobile phones/mp3 players. I'm torn between moto rzr v3 & k750i. None of my frns have it. STYLE IS VERY IMPORTANT, but at the end of the day i should nt feel i paid too much. Or some other phone, budget limit is 20k.

Looking fwd to hearing from u guys. :D

I suggest you go for NOKIA 3230, it should cost between 15,000 - 16,000. It has the features you are looking for.

NOKIA RULES

You could also visit Nokia Web Site for latest phones.

Obviously when you attach headphone, you'll get sound from both the speakers. But the sound technically is dual mono and not stereo....
try listening the same song in some stereo player. u'll notice the difference
