Don't get a v8. It doesn't have anything other than good looks.
Get a k810i instead. Cheaper and better.

Or go for an n81 or a w890 instead.

v8 is definitely a great set to keep on your hands ...
A sure style statement.

Go for it if you like to show off ...

But don't expect too many things from it.
And I am not too sure about it's battery life. The large external screen + internal one does take a toll on the battery.

As for alternatives, your priorities matter ...
I'd suggest you to look for K810i or N73 ME ... whichever suits you !!

Yes go for K810i or N73 ME in this range...

If you want to stick with your current budget i.e. 10K.........then get K790i or K810i

If you're willing to increase your budget by 3-4K more, then get W890i if you're inclined towards the excellent music playback of SE Walkman series.

Otherwise if you need a Symbian fone with a good camera and fine music, then get N73 ME but it is going to be out of production soon.

the earphones which came with the phone are not that good, but when i connected my philips headphones(SHP8900), results were awesome.

v8 is rubbish and not having good features that orther mobiles has in its range
only k810i is the right option for you.
don't think of getting n73 its also not worth to get compare to its price
if you want to get really good phone and compare to others in less price
go with 5 mega pixel samsung g600
it's an excellent phone with excellent fetures

lol :lol:

N73 has got

edge,3g,stereo sound,symbian,big screen

(And now speed also)

bring me a phone with that many features for that much price

and don't you no G600 prices are Rs.16700 without 3G
