High End Mobile Wanted

Hey guys..
I need another mobile. Budget is around 22-23 K.
I checked out the N95. It seems as if it is a good mobile. But, are there any other alternatives? What about the iPhone?

IMHO go for N95 or N82.
Iphone is not offically available in India.It isn't a bad phone,but still i would go for Nokia.

depends on what u want from the mobile....

if u want camera..n82
if games,audio....n81
if everything...but not great audio....n95 or n95 8gb

Really i dunno this
if Wat Edburg says is right and if u want Music fone then go for k850i perfectly fits ur budget

^^i meant the n95 has everything in it but it mostly has the next best option of the specialist phones like n82 for camera and n81 for games and n5610 for audio.....so that it doesnt compromiuse the sales of others phones too much......but i do find it better than k850 as it has better screen and wifi,symbian and others....

i u can wait dude..then do wait a month or so..coz on the 10th of feb se is going all riot...

the much accliamed p5i with 5 mp cam,wifi,uiq 4 and all those stuff is going to be announced..along with a 3.2 mp version of the same..and also phones with built in gps...

its showtime for SE..

and the k850 is always a good option..check the cam pic section in this forum to check out some of my pics frm the k850i and also the n82 and n95 posted by other members...

^^dude i dont want to start a war here with you regarding the n82 vs k850

let the thread poster tell us what he wants and want he doesnt want first.....instead of us fighting for his mobile choice

^^^^^i just gave my opinion..and btw..i think u guys are being a bit biased towards the n82...chhoro..m not posting here nemore...

my vote goes to the k850i ..

awesum cam
walkman 3
superb ui

What you meant by ''everything'' in the N95 case.Leave alone the form factor,N95 and N82 shares same hardware and audio quality of both phones are comparable to N81(imo).

I'll say to get N95 it is a lot better than K850i.....

i am not into mobile gaming that much.. so no n81
as for n82 and k850i, is the keypad easy to use? (i have large hands, btw). the buttons seem tiny
the p5i seems to be nice.. is the 10th of feb the official date of release? and any idea on the pricing? and yeah, is it touchscreen? [lol. i know. too many questions, but please bear with me]

another thing i wanted to ask was does the battery life of n95 s*cks so much that it needs to be charged everyday?

nah man its the announcement date..will however be available shortly..mayb by march or sumthin...yeah its full touchscreen

and btw the keypad for the k850 roks big time..m a 6 foot two guy with proportionate hands..

...and can use the keypad effortlessly..

cant say bout the n82 tho..havnt used it...but the keypad resembles that of the SE k550i..used it..its nt tht good..

lol, dude. i am 6'2".. lemme try the phone out. btw, are the camera and screen good in comparison with n82 & n95?

well..different peaple have different tastes.i find the k850 having better detail than the mentioned two..but the n82 and n95 have better color saturation out of the phone but compromises on details...

and regarding sound....k850 handsdown...walkman 3...psp menu...it rolls...

screen is better with the n95 it being a 2.8 inch screen and k850 being a 2.2....but i think the k850 has a crisper display.. i think u should go and check the phones out at your nearest dealer...u will then have an idea of what u want...and chec the pics in the cam section here..

but any idea on p5i's price? it would be a waste if i wait till march and find out that its outta my budget.

Shd be 25-27k at launch. Just a guess. Btw i think u shd go 4 the n82 now.

H

if u buy N95 8GB then u'll miss the Xenon flash of the N82.
and if u buy N82 u will miss 2.8" display,8GB of storage,dedicated music control keys.
now its upto u wat u wanna compromise and wat not.

man the audio in N95 rocks.how can u say it lacks audio quality

Go for N95, it rocks

guys i saw reviews all over the net about the n95 and it seems they all suggest that n81 was better in audio than the n82/n95(may be it was just negligble)......i havent used those 3 mobiles at all so i cant for sure....just take a look at gsmarena reviews......

myself using n82 .. simply awesome device ..

and it does sound fantastic when coupled with creative ep 630..

i would suggest n82 if u are not too fussy abt looks of ur handset.

My friend has a N95... Its really good if you can afford it...

the problem with the n82 IMO is that it has a bad keypad [at least the dummy phone at Nokia PD had]...
i can live without the xenon flash.. but what about the battery life of N95 [non-8GB verison] and N95 8 GB?

The n95 battery sucks. The n95 8Gb has a better battery life.

sucks, but how much?

you use wifi for 1.5 hrs or contenious gprs for 2 hr and your mobile is down.. this is for n95... n95 8gb is far better then the old one.. though i havent used n95-1 but as told by my friend who is using it..

one more thing you get with n95 and nobody mentioned is the inbuilt gps module which means without using anything extra you can use gps for free anywhere in the world... which i feel is the THE COOLEST feature

try paying some more and go for n95 8gb as one more reason keeping beside the 8gb is its 128MB of RAM.. so once flash lite 3.0+ gets released we will be able to open all flash websites on our mobile and then n95 8gb will be the best option still now..
flashlite 3.0+ hoping to release in this quarter of the year.. though beta versions are available

it will be a revolution on the web part of mobile..

C

for camera n82 is batter than n95, n95 8GB and even k850i
for overall good features n95 8GB is the best
samsung g600 has also good cam and it cost is much less than this phones

N

If you lookign for a smrt-phone, check out Asus as well; they have the best processors.

\N

If you don't need 8gb of space or the large display or the music keys then better go for N82. It is better than N95 as it has higher RAM, better battery and xenon flash.

Flashlite 3.0 support is integrated into the lastes firmware release for N95 8GB (v15.0.015).

higher RAM than even the N95 8 GB?

^^^ nope.N95 8GB and N82 both hav 128MB ram whereas the N95 has 64MB of ram.

Thats new to me also!

I meant higher RAM and better battery in comparison to N95 and not N95 8gb. N82 and N95 8gb both have same RAM and battery.

Both N82 and N95 cost nearly the same. So for me, it makes more sense to go for N82. However if one can afford N95 8gb, then there is nothing like it.

Yes N95 is an allrounder.
If you can afford then go for it.

n95 8gb only for big screen ... otherwise u can get everything it offers plus "xenon flash" in n82 ..now its coming in black ..so looks factor is gone too ..u can put upto 32 gb card in n82 ..upto 8 gb is available ..

coming in black? where? any pic?

here some more details:
N95 8GB has 120MB total RAM and about 90MB on fresh boot if using original theme
N82 has 120MB RAM and about 94MB on fresh boot if using original theme

different theme and number of applications installed effect the total available RAM after fresh boot

32 GB

32 gb - as & when those cards become available .. sandisk has upto 8 gb ..in india u can get upto 4 gb easily as far as i know ..maybe 6 gb is available too.. people with n82 has used upto 8 gb without any prob like lag etc ..

both n82 and n95 8gb has 128 mb ram .. the one thing which n82 lacks is infrared port which n95 8gb has ..if that is a factor ..

for me xenon flash is more imp than a larger screen .. the black n82 is called something like black diamond.

oh :O that looks awesome

black or silver .. n82 is really awesome ..

ya true..

Nokia could have given a better look for it..

Dont know what marketing policy they have..

another option although not high-end is the iPhone. I can get the 8GB version for around 400 USD. unlocked.
but i think the major problem is the warranty bit. Am i right in saying that Apple considers the warranty void if you onlock the iPhone?

There are some interesting models announced at the GSMA this year like the N96 and the soul slider. Any idea on their availability?

iphone is good option .. try the version that released after the few minor updates. may be u can call it iPhone-version 1.2
(multi sms sender, fixed few bugs, extra applications, more customised main screen, more supported stuff etc. etc.)

Ya dude .. theres no warranty on unlock iPhone got from grey market.
but who cares .. waise bhi its not available in india otherwise.

..
Buy iPhone man.. its good .. or try HTC Touch is good, can try imate - 6150..
forget n95 .. try some new phones mate.

buddy just got my n95 8gb on this 15th and am oversatisfied. The video quality is great and0off course the pic quality. The gps is next style mantra and its quite perfect. Also the large screen is a boon. Sound quality is great and the headphones are also good and above expectation. The battery backup is also good. Am using the mobile office now for more than a day on this mobile and still only one bar is down. Am typing this post from my mobile. The keys are comfortable also. The best thing which was surprising was the inbuilt flash lit 3 and am able to open any flash website including the pc youtube. The large screen is a real thing for showoff.

and am loving it

Well if u wana alt. than u must opt for "SE P1i" :idea:

It's an gr8 phone ever,I saw it n it feels so sleek @ ur palm
Most powerful,sleeker,faster n loaded with latest technologies upto all SE phones :twisted:

Trust me it's a cool deal to spend so many bucks on this cute baby

First take a look on it before buying any other option

and what about the numerous touch screen phones announced at the GSMA?

sorry to say.. i used it before say 6months.. it was priced at 19k then.. .. ya it has a good cam and interface but what i dont like is its Not User friendly Menu System. Not only me but some of my friends also felt hard to use the mobile.. i sold it out in Burma market of Bangalore at 13k just 3 months old

y dont u try LG KU990....its got a 5 mp cam and luks pretty cool(din checked it out personally so cant say much)..but its priced at 21k and from the reviews,it seems a very good phone

^^That is the viewty is it not?

If it is , then i can say it is an awesome phone. Everything rocks about it. I don't own one, but my friend does, and have used it for quite a bit.

@pickster

Do you think they are coming any sooner to Indian Market .. answer this .. you will get your answer.

..

Whats wrong with iPhone .. n What about the options I gave,

wait for N78 releasing 2 nd quarter 2008

@mobilegeek : well.. the problem with the iphone is the warranty and other things like a crippled bluetooth.
another thing, even if the iphone is not under warranty, will the apple ppl here repair it?
and htc toucha nd imate are basically PDA's and i dont require the functionality they offer.

@iamtheone : Will check out Viewty. thnx man.

@the.kaushik : will let you know when i buy it.

i want to buy the phone around the end of this month.
