Hey Guys..

I bought Nokia 5500 a week ago and yesterday someone has stolen it from my room.. So buying it again.. Well frankly I felt the phone to be smooth and without hangups.. Has good S60 V3 Symbian OS 9.1..

But I would like to ask the experienced bunch out here.. that is it a good choice for 7.5k? However it comes with 512MB card too.. Or should I look for some other phone. My main requirement is OK sort of Camera, Good Music and Phone Should be good looking.. Price Range 7-8k only.. Not a Must but preferably Smartphone.. (I mean with Symbian)

N6151 is inferior to N5500 and W810 is 3-4k more than the price of N5500

I don't think you get a n70 for 7500.

The main advantage of using N72 is it's very slow speed, you can do your pending tasks in between while it's processing :) ;)..... lol ha ha ha

N70 is the worst N series phone i have seen.
My friend has N70ME & it is running slower than my Nokia 3230. :p
He just uses the phone for entertainment(No sim card inserted).
As i write this his phone is with nokia care centre.
Also in Nseries advertisement they(nokia) even doesn't display N70.While they show N72.:D

exactly... ppl load too many unwanted stuff and say the phone is slow... and spread wrong info too others.... negative publicity.
