Hey ppl i am sick of my dead slow nokia n70me and its earfones sucks to no end.I am no big fan of symbian os as i dont enjoy playing games on mobiles.I need fast,no nonsense music fone wih a gr8 camera better than k750i which i was addicted to some time back.My friend suggested this big bro of k750i-the K790i.Plz let me know its price in mumbai and is its sound quality better than k750i?It wont matter if its speakers are low as i want to listen myself not to entire class.Finally hows earfones of it?Does it have 3.5mm jack adapter?
Thanks,

Get K810 if you want excellent cam with decent sound quality or choose 5700(amazing sound) for almost everything,the latter one is the best deal.

i don't think n73me is a good option for him. the only thing that matters is the 3.2mp cam whereas the headset is same (correct me if i'm wrong) and he doesn't care about the newer symbian os.

i dont' think k800 is released in india. its k810i. but that doesn't come wid hpm70 headset. that'll be a separate purchase.

dude how do u expect to get a k790i or a n73me in 12-13k???
btw if u prefer music more then u hav two options in 13k... 5700 and w580i...
and since u dont care about symbian w580i wd be right 4 u..
tho both of them have 2 mp cams..

K810i has been priced higher than K790i. Since 3G has not yet taken off in India you better stick with K790i. It also looks much better in my opinion.

There s not much diff.. K790i has edge while k810i has 3g.. 3g isnt any use yet.. Btw k810 is 1.8k more than k79.. Also the 8gb iphone is $399 for now..
infra_red_dude
Sep 7, 2007 at 12:32 AM
^^^ but i guess k790i comes wid 1gb m2 card and k810i wid 2gb. so the 1.8k difference for 1gb in original m2 card is worth it imho, if the 3g/edge doesn't matter.

we do not have 3g here, and it will take some time before it is here (after the fight between the telcos is over, over the spectrum allocation). so it is better to go for k790i. it has a great camera and sound is also good (not a music lover so can't say much about it).

he could only have done that if he had a k750i dude so stop bugging him

Sep 10, 2007 at 2:11 PM
From all the diff. reviews i've read online I can say that K750i beats K790i in loudspeaker volume when playing mp3s not ringtones. But this is the case with walkman series also. Since, w810i I don't know why they have limited the dB level of the cellphones.

And as far as sound quality goes Digit reviewed it to be the *best* music phone available *when* paired with a set of good earphones instead of the bundled ones.
