I am planning 2 get a mobile within 8-9K. cant go beyond that. All i need is a good cam , fm , 2-3 days of standby time , good reception , decent music , xpandable mem. Bt with A2DP is welcomed. I have shortlisted a few.. K750i , K550i , N6233. Which 1 is better? Plz give details. And ofcourse u can suggest ne other phone in this range.
Waiting for ur reply guys. thnx in advance:)

K750i was released way back in 2005. is it good enough? i have heard that it hangs sometimes. 6233 is 3G enabled but then i dont like its looks( i hate nokias). K550i seems to be okish , but the cam is not as good as in K750i/W810i:confused:

i am quiet confused. Donno what 2 do. plz help me out

u can buy w810i.. its sturdy,good music n camera.. drawback is battery life which hardly comes for 2 days.. but features are too good... and more over its only 8k to 8.5k [depends on ur bargaining skills]... and better than the phones u've listed...

If u dont need A2DP and 3G go for a 3500c.. else go for a 6233me

I'd suggest K550i. It has everything you need and is well in your budget. W810i /K750i/N6233 are all outdated now!

IMO 3500c > k550i and is also cheaper.. Looks good too..

since you say good camera.. it leaves you with 6233 and k750i
and at last k550
k550 is latest with features that u like and want.. but its cam is bit bad compared to that of big daddy k750i.. i don't know much about 6233 though.. it seems to be 3g phone
and k550i is slim.. the trend now a days is not have a phone that is a brick

Don't ever buy any motorola phones bcz it is very poor in camera quality.........
I recommend K750i.......

Thanx a lot for your replies guys. It was announced a few days ago that 3G will be launched in India soon. So I think its better to go for 6233me for future proofing. Even the great K790i dont have 3G :mad:. Its unbeliveable.
Neways do u ppl have ne idea about the pricing of the K660i?
infra_red_dude
Nov 17, 2007 at 4:02 PM
K530i = K550i - EDGE + 3G

You may wanna check that out. The only reason why I'm not recommending 6233ME is that its outdated model (just like W810i/K750i) and looks utterly ugly.

go for K550i without hesitation.....
The advantage: u can flash it to walkman W610i if u want music phone!!!!!
CYBERSHOT quality is the same+ WALKMAN V2.0+ Flash lite themes......and so on......
great!!!!!

After reviewing the price in this forum , I am thinking about the K800. it has all the features that i need and also have some more. My xm will finish on 12th dec. After that i will check prices of all the above mentioned phones and inform you about my decision. thnx for ur replies guys:) .

Nov 21, 2007 at 1:51 AM
There is NO K800i available in India. Its either K790i or K810i. K800i is the 3G version of K790i and was not launched in India.

i was gonna suggest u the W810i, but u seem to be inclined to the 3G/A2DP. which i believe even if it cums to india will be expensive. as broadband in india is pathetic, i knw both r diff stuffs.
anyway, w810i is a brilliant phone. it has the best cam among 2mp, same as k750i. n the walkman player is awesome. even its nterface is cool n intuitive, no cybershot phone can compete with it, excludes k850i though.
well, k800i jus seems to fit ur bill. its cool, sturdy, has a better cam. but i'd suggest the k810i, a bit advanced bro of the former, n luks gud too. he k800i's cam cover is irritating, it opens ven u dnt want to, in ur pocket. n k810 is slimmer.
n regarding a2dp, its comparatively expensive, n ppl hardly use it. we get fedup chargin our mobiles, now who'd go mad after chargin the headphones too, or replacin batteries n stuff.
anywayz, to each his own.

n yea, the Samsung bros U600 n U700 r sexy stuffs with rich features. giv them a shot!
Extremely Stylish n damn gud phones. Real head turners, will giv the high end fashion phones a run for their money. esp the U700! while the U600 has the FM n TV out, which the U700 duz not, being the elder n expensive bro though.

Nokia 5610 seems to be a SE killer. 3.2mp autofocus cam , dedicated music chip n 3G means its an allrounder. Why dont Sony makes such phones:mad:. If its available within 14K I will be going for it else K790i.

Thanks for ur replies guys. I have decided for K790i. W810i would hav been a cheaper solution but i opt for K790i as I need a better cam module. Will buy the phone on 14th. I have 2 more questions :
1. Is it ok to buy from Mobile Store or should I buy from Sony world or somewhere else?
and
2. can any one suggest me a shop in Kolkata?

Thanks:)
