I have a budget of Rs13000 for my second phone. I am confused between loads of phones. The LG m4410 and the Nokia 3230 for instance. Is an OS like Symbian necessary for any certain functionality? Cos the 4410 i suppose does not have one.(though the dealer says it does have Symbian). Enough blabber. Please Help*forum.oobertech.net/style_emoticons/AquaSmilies/bs_help.gif

One of my friend bought a 3230 with warranty. Within a month he was so damn tired of using it. He gave it to service center for software upgrade/change. Still he faced so many problems that he discarded it at a loss :(

Check out some SonyEriccson models in the same range. Have a look at *www.gsmarena.com

why not a 6630 ??? the best part is that it is a 3G phone .. so it'll be a bit more future proof ....

It looks as if a fat f*** sat on a 6680. To be frank i dont like its shape. But i'll check it out anyway.

Yes you are right
..
I have seen many people still struggling for 3230
(Software hangs to much) at the dealer recently

DONT BUY 3230 ... IT HAS SOFTWARE ISSUES

Oh ya ... Its the looks that attract me .. dude

If you ask me the looks is the point that differs It from the 6680, which looks bulkier

and

Moreover have been using Nokia-6630, Its the best phone,
I bought this phone over 750i & 6681

I dont know why its price has dropped but neverthe less its a great phone

:wink:

Hasn't anyone thought about SE W800? Oh man!! I am in love with that piece. Just collecting some funds for it ;) By the time I collect, my current hadset will also live thru its life and prices will also come down :)

It doesnt have EDGE. I plan to use it as a modem. And i am thouroughly fed up with my Sify connection. A local mafia runs the cable ops and Sify Broadband too, so cant even threaten them!!!

6630 ROX!!

hey.. me too planning to get a new mob. But i ve decided to go for 6630. Stunning features except it doesnt hav a FM radio. But for that u can take an add on which wud cost u around 1200bucks.
The disadv of 3230 is that the sound clarity is mono and u wont hav the effect even if its a good quality mp3! :cry:
when u hav a better choice with latest features(3G)..y do hesitate for a mere 1500bucks! :wink:
Think abt it buddy... :idea:

prash

PS- I ve experimented some(like hot swap n formatting), on my frienz mob...no s/w prob too in 6630! :D
