well.... megapixel cam, memory not a prob as i will be constantly transferring the stuff to my pc(however 32mb or more will be good), mp3 playback, no twisting turning phones(like the w550, though its a good phone), bluetooth- yep...

Santu, Well as per your requirement, i think Nokia 6630 is a good option. well i has 1.3 MP, and expandable memory and good music Headphone, Bluetooth and on top it supports Symbian.

If u are a GPRS hunk, 6630 is a suitable option as it is EDGE and 3G. Well M suing N6680, have some peoblems, but i really enjoy this. May be you can think of Nokia 6681, it has 1.3 MP cam with Flash. and think costs around 14k. think about it.

Well about MOTO V, its not that good phone, it has VGA cam. and dont ever think about n3230, its processor is very slow.

BEST OF LUCK, Cheers

k750i is the best imaging Mobile in its class. 2MP camera, autofocus...what more you want.

If you want a good music phone, I strongly suggest u go for w550i - Excellent music quality, got all the features u need. But the camera quality is not very satisfying and it has got only 256 MB unextendable memory.

Also, if u want an EXCELLENT camera and fast processor, go for 6630.

I also liked 3250 but it won't fit into ur budget. Considering ur options, I suggest either of the 3- k750i, w550i, 6630.

Peace

Don't even think about SE k608i. Look at its design! it's like some old tv remote welded into a piece of metal and fitted with 2 cameras! The camera clarity is very poor. Look'n thru ur needs, i suggest n6630 or k750i. these 2 fones have all that u want. My support leans slightly towards n6630 as it has 3G with EDGE and a fast processor and a much bigger screen than k750i. But comparing the cameras, k750i is way ahead of its competitors!

Go for 6630 or 6681. After all they are symbian phones man nd a bigger screen too. U can load tons of softies nd tweak as nothing else can. 6681 has got xcellent cam with flash nd good quality too nd music is also good.

I myself own a 6630 and my brother owns a W550i. The are equally good if u ask me. 6630's got a great camera, a big screen, good processor, NO FM, extendable memory. But W550i's camera is not as good as 6630, but still fair, EXCELLENT SOUND QUALITY, limited memory of 256MB, fm, has got GREAT ANIMATED THEMES which are not there in 6630, and it is nearly as faast as 6630. If u are a music freak, don't give a second thought and go for W550i, else go for 6630. They both will cost around 12k.

Do tell us which one u bought.

Peace

The main thing is that 6630 is a smart phone(symbian) but 550i is not....

another problem.... 6630 has a 65k screen, w550i has a 262k screen.... how much visible difference will there be between 65k and 262k, and also does it affect the phone or the apps in it in anyway?

As far as I know, no. But 6630 has a big screen and it feels much better watching videos or playing java games in it. But sometimes its keys pose a problem while typing/gaming. The keys of 550i are much better.

that really dosnt matter a lot. 256k color means it can give up to that, but normaly view on 65 and 256 are almost same, except for very good quality pics and vids.

dont worry go for 6630

U should install an antivir as soon as possible. U just activate bluetooth nd take a walk across town nd your phone would be fuul of virus. So get it fast.
