Not a single phone in your budget which meets all your requirements. Although you could go for SE K550i and then flash it with W610i firmware. For more info on flashing, pm infrareddude who's the resident SE flashing expert.

W200i is a really lame phone. I won't advise anyone to buy it. Really bad value for money. No bluetooth, only VGA camera, only 128x160 UBC display, and no EDGE.

Wat is that UBC Display?

Its an ancient technology of displays which was used by cavemen before tft came. Its similar to stn. Poor picture quality and complete illegibility under sunlight are the hallmark of ubc/stn.

since u want a pure music phone, i'd suggest u get w300i if u like flap phone or go wid w700i. that can be as simple as possible. no hassels of buyin a good headset, or a larger memory card or flashing!
*
w300i:
256mb memory stick micro card
walkman headset
vga cam (0.3megapixel)
edge
clamshell body (flap)
*
w700i:
256mb memory stick pro duo
walkman headset
2megapixel cam with flash
no edge
candybar body
*
u may hafta spend about 800-900 over 10k for w700i while w300i will come under 10k!

i'd advise against w200i. its simply useless phone. also the n5300's cam is way inferior to the 2mp or even 1.3mp SE cams.

^^ But none of those phones are slim, a requirement he mentioned in his post. Thats why i suggested buying K550i which can be flashed to W610i and is also slim.

i find my w700i pretty ok. not extremely slim like the k550i but better than most phones listed.... plus he wanted a phone "wid good music features" so it makes sense to buy a music centric phone. adding a walkman headset, buying a larger memory card (considering the fact the m2 are the costliest of the breed) and then flashing is simply not worth it, at least not now as doing it all will bring the total cost to w610i's level! if things get cheaper then it makes sense.

as for being slim, i'd suggest u goto a cellphone shop and examine a dummy personally to get a look and feel of a phone. dun rely on the net for this.

^^^ no way man.. w550i too bulky, has no expandable memory, only 1.3mp cam (in these dayz 2mp cam are common)... and its become ancient now! and abt k750i its dimensions are almost same as of w8/700i

5200's for 6k
get 5300 for around 8k and add up a cool earphone to jam it up!

Or better, if you just need to listen to music and call, no hi-fi camera and stuf, get W200i and then buy yourself a Bose earphone (if they are compatible)

It's gonna be a Helluva good combo ;)
