Hey guys...im finally gonna get a mobile

somy budget is less than 10k...the lesser the better
but dat doesnt mean im ready to use a entry level handset

i already have an ipod touch so most my entertainment needs are taken care of.

the main features i luk for in the mobile are :
Style (gotta luk good ...sliders are preffered...i fancy sliders very much)
And it cant be bulky i want a slim one
connectivity options like 3g and wifi are welcome but are not required as de cost goes up fr dose phones
a good cam (ATLEAST 2 MP!)
touchscreen is not really a must but is acceptable
ease of use nd overall gud UI without much errors n drawbacks
and also a 3.5 mm jack

this is goin to be my first mobile nd as of now i dont kno mcuh bout dem so help me plz!!! reply fast as i cant wait to buy the phone

frankly when i had been to mobile shop 2 days before.. I was simply confused not able to focus on any models or brands.. Just came back thinking of more research... I dont want to cough up extra for the sake of nothing .. money matters

the only reason people say NO to corby is that they have JAVA interface and there is very less software and games available for it.

But ultimately U have to use it...just go to shop and try it.

if Nokia 5530 comes ...then feature wise its the best in that range...it has symbain soo many application and games are available

Corby can only get advantage for its looks(personal choice) and qwerty keyboard
