hi guys ,

I am going to buy the nokia 5310 xpress music edition phone , just wanted to know from the current owners that is the phone good , i really liked the design and the interface, but i read somewhere that the phone has bad hanging/restarting problems . Also i read somewhere that the phone is alow and sometimes can not detect the micro sd card!!!

if not this phone my other option is Sony Ericssion 660i , how is that phone?

Or suggest me a good phone with price ranging within 10k.

I need the phone asap :D

If you want symbian get a 5700. Else no probs with the 5310/w580/w660

5310 is too tiny in hands.

5700 is better and SE w810i is a much beter phone overall.

w580 is slider , i want candybar .

5700 is fat, i like slim phones. thats why i chose 5310 but the user reviews hint ptoblems i stated above.

w660 is good but the screen size is small.

w810i is good , what si the approx price of this one?

AFIAK .. the nokia has stopped production of the 5700 .. So it might be a problem getting it... :(
And also .. the sound level of the 5310's speakers is tooo too low.. :(
So go for the W580..

10k budget?

N5310, W610, W660, K790i. I won't recommend W810i due to lack of A2DP.

doesn't make any difference. A2DP is a battery sucker, available headphones are very costly and lack the quality of similarly priced wired earphones

eg: you get decent S9 for Rs.2.5k and for the same price you get Shure E2C

Go with your decision, no such problems with Nokia 5310.

go for k790i.
awesome phone. way better than 5310.

btw, i use moto s9 with 6233 all the time and my battery life hasn't changed much. so i dont think a2dp is too much of battery sucker.

That was the case with the early batch of phones. I think the problem has been solved a long time ago and all the phones on sale now are free from that defect.

for around 11k you can let e6 from motorola . . mod it and use as you like . . nothing gives you that happiness i guess . . but anyways happiness differs from person to person so . . :)
