If u r willing to spend 7k.. SE k530i or k550i.. With the former being a 3g phone and a newer model.. While later happens to be a cybershot.

If under 5k then:

Nokia 3110 Classic - 4.5k Rs

Sony Ericsson W200i- 4.6k Rs

for bad light you nee something with xenon fladsh..much like the k790i..will set you back by 9.5k..

Get the k750 if you can..best 2 mp cam phone and has great sound..and has fm of cos..

It does have a 2MP cam.. Not a 1MP.. All cellphones in da range u asked for come without flash. Under decent lightning it takes good images, And great pics during day-time. Even tough, k750i has flash, now it comes packed with a bluetooth headset which increases the cost to 9k. K530i has better sound than k750i , and also has fm..

The only reason why I'd recomm. K550 or K530 over K750i is coz of EDGE and 3G respectively and A2DP. If you don't need them close your eyes and go for K750i.

k550i's camera is far better than k530i. k550i having good features too and you can flash it to w610i. k530i is marked as cybershot phone but its music quality is better rather camera.
you can also go with very popular nokia 6233 in lesser price

K530i is NOT cybershot branded. Things where K530i is inferior to K550i:
No cybershot branding, no autofocus, no flash.

Things where K530i scores over K550i:
Supports 3G over K550i EDGE, dual cam for video call, better music quality out of the box (personal opinion).

k530i is not of 7k

here I checked price at mobile store

confused between k530 or k550

bcoz 3g is of no use in india..so video call

I would say k550i. If you cant then k750i.
k550i sound quality with headphones is good. But its speakers are at best average. But then speakers in phones are not meant for listening to music.

The camera is good if lighting is proper, but in low light condition the picture quality is very poor(with a lot of noise).

I had k550i for a year. The only problem I had was the some keypads lost its colour due to heavy usage (read playing games).
I had dropped the phone atleast 5-6 times. Still worked absolutely perfectly.

EDIT: And oh yeah k550i can be flashed and the sound quality can be improved even further.

K550i can be flashed to W610 and K530i to W660i. Even if not flashed the audio drivers can be hacked to provide great audio output.

WTF n00b....Its not my fault that your brother's W810i doesn't perform well....[Thats an exception]

Search Google....everyone says that the camera of W810i is very good.....

W200i will win hands down in the music department, but Nokia 3110c has got Bluetooth, 1.3mp camera, EDGE & A2DP.....It will be the best Value-For-Money mobile for less than 5K.....

I too like the 6233.
Though I don't own one, a friend has one. It's too good for the price, it has everything you would expect from a good modern phone.

(I have a 2600, it's good, old is gold)

k550i camera is good for daylight, but crap in low light conditions.
k750i camera does better under low lights.
But as a overall package k550i is quite good.
Search up the net and check for k550i photos, and see if their good enough for you.

I have a K550.
Go for it. Its the best 2MP phone for Cool people.

Unlike k750 and 6233 its SLIM. I don't know how people tolerate fat phones.

K550 camera is the best in the 2MP Slim Phones. Its 3.8mm lens is bad compared to K750 4.8mm Lens. But you get a slim phone.

w810 sucks. again its fat. screen is really tiny. also old firmware. generation 1.
generation 1 platform. db2010
k550 is db2020. far far better multitasking...

best phone is 6233 if FAT is the Cool thing for you.

Am having k550 since a year.
And its really awesome. I love it.

People that think k550 sucks. They are absolutely right, They own a N95 8GB that is.
If even that N95 sucks. They should pay 10000000000000 Crores and buy a team of Engineers from some other galaxy who will design revolutionary phone just for themselves

In the end you might end up with a uncool phone. That's good for me. Not all deserve one.
