5530 will not have wifi I think it will have gps.Contrary, 5230 will have wifi no GPS.
I am too going to buy a cell phone budget 15k.
Should I go for 5530 XM guys? Or any other models worth considering/
Isn't N79 a bit older now?

if u consider all these phones I wanna tell u that best cam is with N79 at ur budget...it has wifi..gps..nice sound...whats the bad deal :razz:

S

Edited.
I really loved the bigger screen for 5800,5530 compared to N79.features wise N79 definitely looks good

U

if you want
good music + good screen + touchscreen + wifi =5800
good music + good camera + very good battery life + wifi + solid build quality = zn5
good music + good camera + wifi + gps + plenty of apps = n82

i think you should chose between these 3. n82 and n79 are similar except camera in n82 is better. n82 is an excellent all rounder.
Otherwise go for zn5. it is cheaper than the rest. but the sound quality, camera and battery life is awesome. also the build quality is great. very strong.

here is the feature set for 5530XM:

2.9" TFT resistive touchscreen, 16M colors
Proximity sensor for auto turn-off
Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate
Handwriting recognition
3.5 mm audio jack
Internal 70 MB storage, 128 MB SDRAM

3.15 MP, 2048x1536 pixels, autofocus, LED flash
VGA recording at 30fps
ARM 11 434 MHz processor
Up to 4 h 54 min

But my pick would be Samsung Jet. This phone is available for 18k-19k and the phone blows off every other phone inside 20k.

here is the feature set:

480 x 800 pixels, 3.1 inches resistive touch screen. gorgeous high resolution display
TouchWiz v2.0 UI
Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate and Motion UI
Proximity sensor for auto turn-off

I bought N82 for 14k, and very happy with it except for the battery backup.
You can get it for even less, just search for the left over pieces in the market, as Nokia has stopped this model.

5800 all the way!!!!

if you can wait then get the 5530 as you can save some bucks....

but if you use a lot of symbian apps that are not yet compatible with S60v5 and give more importance to camera than watching videos, then N79

p.s. i have the 5800

Take 5800 If you want larger screen,resolution and touch experience.
Take N79 if you want better camera and feature rich phone.
If you are planning to use the phone for 2-3 yrs N79 would be better.i remember on friend mentioning 5800 had fallen from his hand it started giving touch screen problems.
You decide what you want,if you want to use for fun 5800 is way to go.
N79-better camera + battery all other features same as 5800 minus touch + larger screen

guys, seriously.

Just demo samsung jet and 5800XM at same time and you will feel that 5800XM is highly inferior to samsung jet.

PS: I never felt that 5800XM is worth that price.

M

jet is better if symbian is no concern
rest all things are best..!!! including the browser

but still 5800 does the job very well

never used jet but had my hands on 5800

T

Once you get addicted to symbian its hard to settle with dumbphone like jet.

Anyway , i dont think 5800 is good for you since its camera is not upto the mark .

N79 is better as you need good cam. Its a great vfm device . Hard to believe this little device is so powerful.

I would go with the Nokia 5800 or Samsung Jet(if you can leave without Symbian).

5800 price reduced to 13.6k Now is it worth that price?

thanx for d amazing replies guys.........
i cannot go without d symbian as i use so many apps nd want to use it as a pocket pc.....
nd m not a fan of samsung phones so definitely not samsung.......
nd m not a fan of touch screen either nd moreover 3.15 mp camers is a bit less for me

...

so in nokia its only n79 dat fits my bill........i guess........
nd Sahil who told u 5800 is for 13.6 k now:O:O..........

thanx for d replies guys nd keep dem coming

>...

Check with the latest dealer dude yes I know its hard to believe but 5800 Xm is now available @ 13.5k all over ecept Maharashtra for added vat.

@desiibond,
Rightly said about Samsung Jet! One gr8 multimedia set if phone OS is no concern.
Ok, another thing...I am planning for Omnia HD. And this is what Samsung Dealer at Noida quoted, when i visited the showroom:
"Samsung Jet and I8910HD are the latest arrivals. Both are Korean manufactured. But Indian versions of Jet and I8910 packs more powerful processor than European models.
Samsung Jet packs 835MHz processor instead of typical 800Mhz and I8910HD packs a 1GHz one."

Too awesome naa?
I practically fiddled with this gadget for more than 30 minutes. From Camera/Camcorder to Functionality, i was impressed. Its just, why Samsung decided to launch it with Symbian? A Win-Mo OS on this set would've been perfect. Not to mention the excellent 3.7" AMOLED screen. Too good for watching videos. The only thing, they didn't allow me was to check the Call quality!

I believe, this is where the set will take some blows. Can't compare with Call quality of Nokia/SE!
So, whats your take on I8910HD?

@ mayanksharma
Nobody beats OmniaHD right now :razz:

...

BTW Omnia II didnt released in India?? its Jet+Win OS+bigger screen

@mayanksharma, you can check Samsung OmniaPro which comes with or coming with windows mobile 6.5

@sujoyp,
Yep, for now i guess and as long as manufacturers skip packing OMAP3430 processors into mobile sets!

Ok, about OmniaII...i think it is scheduled to launch in Late October this year. Packs everything same as I8910, except 8MP Camera and HD Video Recorder.

@desiibond,
You're talking about OmniaPro B7610. Which is yet to hit the streets. Comes with qwerty keypad. But then its no OmniaHD!
Ok, another thing...the CPU isn't 1GHz!
I confirmed the details. The CPU is 600MHz with ~430MHz DSP. Dealers are making a hype out of it!

M

What is 430 mhz dsp? Display adapter

^^Digital Signal Processor.

Nokia 5800 – the first mainstream touchscreen music phone from Nokia got a Major Price Cut today. The new price before tax would be Rs.13499 which is a killer price for a touchscreen music device.

*www.fonearena.com/blog/2009/09/09/nokia-5800-gets-major-price-cut.html

It's funny coz nokia 5530 Expected Price:Rs.14000 and Nokia 5230 Expected Price:Rs.10000.

I really don't understand the reason behind the cost as the Nokia 5530 @ 14k even though 5800 cost 13.5k...

M

So the new price 5800 is more or less 14.3k?

Omnia HD is best VFM in big league @ 28k with ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz, PowerVR SGX graphics(@400mhz)

5800 is VFM in medium price band @ 13.6k

S

@sujoy,So would you recommend 5800 @13.6k? Any one who has this phone which color looks best? I will go to chroma tonight.

Looks like Nokia is going to clean up the stock and stop production of 5800XM. go for it ASAP if you are getting it for 14k bucks.

Nokia has not yet released 5530XM into the market. And by the looks of it, 5530XM is going to take over 5800XM's role. Reason is that Nokia will get more profit by selling one piece of 5530XM than over 5800XM.

S

desibond,I dont think they will stop production of 5800.In fact most nokia phones prices were slashed yesterday.N79-16k,5800 XM-14.6k and others can be checked .

dont wait for too long...we can see that many of popular nokia models have disappeared from list like N82 5230xm and n78 which were good vfm....

Get it as soon as u can

Yep, comes with Leather Pouch and 16GB memory. May be, if i get lucky...the dealer might gift me Bose Noise cancellation Headphones!

And Err..Its 26K actually with B&W !!

26k in which city...In nagpur its 28k (12.5% vat) :cry:

I think in bangalore too it is 26k but few stores like Mobile Store are selling the same for 28k. Go to non-megastores and you will get it for a better price.

@desii...regarding the shops in National Market in Majestic,are those phone duplicate or original coz 2 years ago i purchase SE W810 at 12k while the price at my home and other price is 17k or 18k..there is also a gr8 difference in price in National Market Majestic and M.G Road..like a CPU..the price of a branded cpu in M.G Road cost around 45k when we can get the same at S.P Road at around 30k..

Another question,is Nokia 6500 that gud?? My sister bought it last year in Chandigarh at 13k and now its still 13k..after a year also there is no price drop while there is huge price drop in N79 and 5800 etc..

In Noida! In fact, its still costly there. I confirmed at one of the shops in delhi, and price quotation was 25K! Nice price tag for such a gr8 gadget naa?
