Hello! :)
I need a phone guys. Can you suggest me a good one within that budget?
And how good is the MotoRokr E6? I know it exceeds my budget a bit but is it any good? Has the interface undergone any improvements due to the phone being Linux-based? How good is the camera?
Any other phone in 10K? Stay away from Nokia, if possible. The phone should be good looking.
Thank you! :)

What do u want from the phone? Since you don't need camera, or music playback...just get a Samsung E250

lol dont take seriously

well get w810i if budget extension possible......else k550i...i hv k550i and i love it.....try to get white k550i....coz later when u flash it to w610i it will be cool

now if symbian and lots of extraa 3rd party matter then get 5700 at the cost of bad cam compared to w810i

SE W810i is the best non-Nokia phone under 10k. E6 is also very good phone but does not have EDGE.

aryayush is a tad busy nowadays. :D

Thanks to all of you for the suggestions! I am thinking of going with MotoRokr E6. Anything wrong with that phone?

@aks_win, it is not for me. I have a 6300 and my next phone is going to be an Apple iPhone 2.0. And I am definitely not a "rich bugger"! Just owning a Mac does not make one rich. :p

MotoROKR is good for you. As you already said, camera is not the priority.

If u could stretch your budget a little bit then u hav two gud phones from sony..
1. W700i- is basically a music phone with 256mb memory bundles and comes at a flat 10.3k
2. K550i- is a cyber-shot phone with stereo-bluetooth and many nifty features. and comes at 10.4k

but if u want a gr8 combination of music and camera along with features like a RSS-Reader then don mind to go for the W810i which comes with a 512mb card and two portable stereo speakers and retails for 12.3k (i recently asked the details at a Sony showroom)
