pls help me out in selecting a new mobo. budget is max upto 15-16k.
my requirements are a 5mp camera, wifi, gud battery life and of course gud performance.
thnx in advance.

1. Touch screen smart phone - Nokia X6
2. Qwerty - Nokia E72
3. Multimedia Phone - Samsung Jet
4. Android - Samsung Spica

What are your preferences like, OS or not , qwerty or not, is camera the main preference and all??

It has the same OS, hardware and hence same processing power as 5800. The only differences are capacitive touch screen, improved camera spec & 16GB internal memory.

Read the review here *bit.ly/bbw1FX

The one reviewed above is the 32GB version, which is not sold in India, we get the 16GB one and the sales package varies as shown here *bit.ly/adLxBc

so x6 is a gud buy?? and i like the way it looks.

For me it is not, since there is nothing new from 5800 and the aging symbian OS.

Since you are not particular about having a smart phone & need performance >> Camera >> Battery life, I feel Samsung Jet would suffice your needs, it has 800Mhz processor,5MP camera, out of the box Divx/Xvid playback capability, Brilliant AMOLED screen and hence improved battery backup and should cost you around 13.5K

thnx for the help. i have another question. are thereany performance related issues in x6 or
samsung jet. and between the two which one is the better performer?

Jet is purely multimedia phone and is better in that regard but overall x6 is better. But do not pay anything more than 17k for 16gig x6. Also the OS and navigation features of x6 makes it a better buy. Just a thought, if camera is not high priority, get Nokia 5230 or 5233 and get ipod touch 8gb. Will cost more or less the same but the enjoyment will be lot more.

^^ It is available for 16.8K in Nokia Priority here. I think it would cost less than that outside.

if x10 mini is available then consider X10 mini...it also have everything what X6 have and a better OS :mrgreen:

...its small, light

its not worth to pay 4-5k just for the capacitive screen...better go with 5800

Yaah if OS is not required u can get Samsung Jet

What is the expected price for x10 mini???
I'm not sure of this but I have a feeling SE might price it around 20K

^^at 20k X10mini is not worth it, it should be priced 16k to be successful...ya X10mini pro can be priced 20k coz of its qwerty keyboard

price can be confirmed by Dreamcatcher only :mrgreen:

^^ lol I was expecting him to answer actually

@Dreamcatcher nothing against you buddy, just kidding

Where are you Dreamcatcher?For a change everyone is suggesting SE.All credit goes to you man,seriously!

@red dragon- Am everywhere actually. The x10 is no1 in the Uk and Japan so am happy. And for the Mini.Should be around 13k-14k.

And its out.Available in kolkata for 13.5k dealer price.

^^ for 13.5 X10 mini is a good choice...only if u can neglect android 2.2 for now :mrgreen:

Perhaps a few users would be swayed by the general increase i speed and aesthetics from its boring counterparts nmes of which are withheld to abstain from any controversy. Also. A better cam. Better video recording or better sound quality wont crack the deal either.

S

but x10 mini's battery life seems low as per gsmarena?...

Arun

yes, it seems it had to be charged everyday...but else everything is on positive side
