Later - K550 or W880i

If his budget is 11-12k, why is everyone suggesting him phones higher than his budget? I haven't yet seen K790i, W810i and N70 ME below 12k.

^^ I already suggested him a W700i. N72 is also good now that it comes under 12k. Our friend gx is suggesting K790i which costs 17k and costs 5k more than his budget:D

gx also suggest to use hammer, I think 2nd option will be cheap. By the way if your friends bought Nokia 3230 just wait and see you do not need to buy any phone to make they Regret to Buy 3230.

Nokia 3230 have Hang Problem from the day of it's entrance.:D very soon you will see "well i made a mistake buying 3230" on there face

Agree, K750i better than W700i but it was about Old Batch Phones.
New batch k750i + new software. SE intentionally degrade the sound quality in Latest Made/released K750i:(:mad:

W810i @13.4k last month

Hye guys, i just did a comparision of N70 & N72, my gf has a N72, although it's not as sleek as my K750i (biased opinion :D), it's better then N70, 3G is not worth buying in india right now anyway.

Whats the difference between N72 & N72 ME

^^ 3230 does not have EDGE Class 10. It only has EDGE Class 6 but only for uploading not downloading. It is for people who do more uploading than downloading.
