Hi

I want to buy a Mobile. I want to restrict my budget till 13k-14k. I am only concerned with Talking and "Connectivity with Laptop on the move". I want to use it for internet connection with Laptop on the move apart from calling. Media playing and Camera is not main concern, but if added then not a problem.

From last issue of digit I shortlisted Nokia 5700 XME, Nokia N70 ME and Nokia N91 ME from other source. Nokia N73ME is also a good choice but shedding another 4500 bucks for camera doesn't make sense. My recent experience forced me to choose only Nokia phones. Now please suggest the appropriate model of Nokia. I can go for another Brand also but should have more features than Nokia.

Thanks

Anurag

N73 Regular edition if you do not want to spend 3K more than your budget on N73ME.

N73 Standard edition costs around Rs.15500. I highly recommend that, if you can go about 1500 higher than your budget.

N 70 is good but the camera of N 73 is excellent. So go for N70 for budget above 10K. Or 6233 if below 10K

Go for 5700 from your shortlisted phones. It costs less than 13K.

If you are willing to put in a 2K more, go for N73. It has an awesome cam.
