Hello guy's,

I am new to this forum. After reading the post in this forum i decided this is the right place to ask my query to buy a right mobile.

Basically i will travel so i am interested in taking photo's and also like to hear music. so i am preferring a good mobile that fit my budget and satisfy my need. presently i am having MOTO SLVR L7 with 1GB. if the mobile is stylish it's more preferable.

Regards,

What about the image of the phone. You spend so much money and get that terribly bad looking phone imo :confused:

i have seen image of n82 its really look nice
if you want both good camera and music then k810i is good choice
it has excellent 3.2 mega pix camera, good music quality and other good features
for the best 5 camera buy n82 but its price is higher than your budget
you can also go for g600 which has 5 mega pix good camera

dude k850 is the way to go...i have the k850 and it lasts about 4 days on a single charge fr me...i listen to about 3 hours of music evryday and it works fine...the new firmware has boosted image quality a lot..chk out the cam pic section fr image comparisions...

and the k850 is a cybershot walkman with megabass and walkman 3....

hey,
i haven't handled the k850. so so in the case of camera it's fine and music is also fine as the people explained their usage. how about the usage and the application and the working speed.

it's cost more than 20 k and also camera is 2 mega and also it's just for a soft use.

Well you travel well? then why go for the HP i-paq series.The blackberry7310g is about 14990 Also and try W950i Too. And i Also agree With Yogi.N82 and K850 are good but you care for AESTHETICS, Go for K850.But don't expect the perfomance you get from N82!

I'll say again, if you can afford the risk, iPhone.

Or else, the 6110 navigator. According to me It is the best nokia phone conceived till date.
dreamcatcher
Mar 11, 2008 at 6:53 PM
the p1i is a pda phone with a qwerty keypad..the w910 is a walkman phone with great features including sense me and many others...

but the k850 is at par with walkman phones when it comes to sound..w910 reeks in more features tho...

@hari-wat do u mean by performance??..as a phone..SE performs much better than any nokia phone out there..if u say features..understandable..

+1 for k850
It has a better camera then the n95 and the music quality is excellent.IT also has functions like mega bass etc which are found in walkman series plus 2 gb card
Please dont buy the iphone. has no warranty , only 2 mp camera without video recording!! and it does not sound as good as an ipod

hey guy's,

I was confused a lot and disappointed much that i was unable to decide a mobile. i fell not miss the feature's and this is one which i have planned not to change for next 3 years... but to my extend k850i is good and should i go for p1i or k850i? this what the question on my mind? plz suggest me that can used for next 3 yr's!
dreamcatcher
Mar 12, 2008 at 2:52 PM
if u want to use it for the next 3 years..i think tou should go for the n82 or equivalent..coz..u will have a 5 mp cam,wifi and othewr features which will be quite frequent in the years to come..or u can go for the k850 if u think u wont be using those features and want to settle for performance alone.
the p1i is more of a pda pone which u can use for ur business purposes..its a touch screen however..if u want only music..i suggest u wait a few days for the w760..the best walkman ever produced with gps..

I too am from bangalore,
LOL I had to edit alot for making the post.
K850 is good very good, you can check the dummies in any of the shops like Univercell or Global Access.

In bangalore you can get N73 around 13K and K810 around 11.5 or less, check on the site of univercell*www.univercell.in.
And K850i (Rs.19,134@univercell site)
And if you are really interested in PDA phones then P1i is good. But if you use any symbian phone like N73 or N82 most of your PDA work can be done very easily. So for long term consideration I dont think K850 is any bad(very good with all newwst features from SE). and if you think of N82 you budget goes higher to 21-22K,

For any reviews you can check gsmarena(*www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_k850-review-165.php) and also can get reviews of W890i, N82,P1i and other releases which can be in consideration..
