Hi ! I want a phone in the range of 12 - 15 K; it should have the following.

1. E-mail facility.
2. FM radio.
3. A 2.0 MP camera will be fine, with flash.
4. Expandable memory.
5. Walkman.
6. Blue tooth.

Please do not suggest any Nokia brands. I stay in Kolkata, so it will be xtremely kind if you can please mention the brands as well as the suggestive prices.

Also, will it be a wise decision to purchase a Blackberry? What is the average cost of one? But, I heard that the B.Berry do not posess any good multimedia facility.

Can you please help me with the above queries?? Thanks a lot.

U can consider the Moto ZN5...It is a fantastic phone with a 5 MP camera..Its price is around 15k or 15.5k...Check out its reviews on other sites and decide for urself...

Thanks. Can you please guide me with some more finer details about models/ price about HTC touch, keeping my specs in mind. What abt the B.Berry?

1. E-mail facility.
2. FM radio.
3. A 2.0 MP camera will be fine, with flash.
4. Expandable memory.
5. Walkman/ MP3 player.
6. Blue tooth.


Also, when I had BSNL connection I could access only Rediffmail & not GMail. That's the reason I left it. Which service provider gives access to G Mail ??

+ 1 for nokia n78 it has all the features u want!!
Please do not suggest any Nokia brands.
any bad experience??
alternatively nokia e51 is also good multimedia + business phone.(2mp/no flash)around 11k
HTC touch comes around 13k but doesn't have fm radio & flash.
HTC Touch viva is launched recently has a QVGA screen but still no fm and flash.priced around 16k

n78 will be around 15k and has the best offerings.

Yup. G700 will be a good phone for you. But beware of the slightly slow interface. :)
