Music Phone upto 10K

My main object is for Music only
Surfing net and Camera r secondary requirements.

I have eyes on 'Nokia 5630 XpressMusic' but have not yet released.
Is there other phone may be frm 'Sony Ericsson' which can replace it?
No other brand please...
Thanks a lot.

SE c510 maybe . Or you can buy nokia 5320xm if you find any . But honestly nokia lineup and pricing in india just sucks these days.

Quite a few people in this forum is waiting for it. Dont know what nokia executives are smoking these days or will they ever release it.

+SE C510. Buy the phone and mod the acoustics. It sounds brilliant.

SE phones have good sound...even my T700 have good bass and clear sound.

BTW get SE c510 its the best in that range now

I also like c510
It is a good phone loaded with all advanced features

But the real thing is I have only tried the Nokia phones till now
I did not buy SE phone even once
So I felt a bit confusion about SE phones
Though some of my friends have owned it and they r quite satisfied
On d other side I also want some change so I'm planing to buy c510 this time

Could u please tell me the price of C510
I am only willling to pay upto 10K

Please guide me whether to go for SE or buying Nokia?
Thanks for ur support

Even i hate se , but nokia india have become too much arrogent and took off almost all good vfm phones off the market . Judging from international price , there should be atleast four good phone ~10k in market right now , but all they are pushing is obsolate n73. Frankly nokia deservs 0% marketshare in 7-17k range .

Go for c510 , totally worth the price.

Yep. C510 is available for some 9k now.

C510 is 3G right? I want to a 3G Phone. HSPDA is compatible with the 3G services available here. Right?

But C510 is bundled with only 1 GB MMC

Now hardly any phone comes with 1GB card
And phone like C510 deserves atleast 2 or 3 GB MMC

I visit Sony website and they were selling the compatible 2GB M2 memory card @ Rs.725
*www.sony.co.in/product/ms-a2gn

Is it worth buying as I only want original MMC for future precautions.
Thanks again.

I went to The Mobile store and they have priced C510 to Rs. 10500. Aren't they overcharging?

A

something wrong there, when I had checked last they said 10250, check in few more stores.

YEa. Its in the sub 9.8k mark here.Sorry for the 9k quote.

Here they r charging 10.5K :neutral:

Even the newspaper ad, they were charging 10.2k for the phone. It should be less than that.

Where?

9.9k in bangalore .... 9.8k in hyd ... don go to mobile store

Today I bought my C510 from Mobile Store :razz:

It costs me 10.5K
It is black in color and looks preety good
Sound is superb with the bundled earphones and it's camera rocks :twisted:

This is my first experience with SE phones

I will activate GPRS and will know more about it's other features

I would like to thank you to all who help me by answering my queries

out of se c510 and se k810i, which one has better sound?

Well certainly I don't know about the sound quality of K810i
But C510 sound really rocks
The bundled earphones are just awesome

I would like to give this a bump as I'm planning to buy C510 in the next two days. Are there any new devices which are better in comparision? Or, should I just buy C510?

A friend of mine contacted a nokia priority dealer who said the 5530XM was expected to come at 12K. Why don't you wait and see ?

With a budget of 10K you should get a smart phone.

@BSOD

In my opinion C510 is d best phone under ur budget
It holds everything - 3.2 MP Camera with LED flash,Great music player with bundled earphones,Large and crisp 2.2 screen,Fast browser,Slim and beautiful looks

I bought it from 'Mobile Store' and I got Rs. 250 cash back offer :razz:

T

^^ yeah c510 is certainly the best multimedia focussed phone in that range.

What was your effective after cashback .

if cam is not ur proirity , might i recommend the 5320xm ... i've been using it for 6months now and want to replace it but don know wid wat ... its jus such a gr8 fone ...

comparision of 5320 vs c510
+ smartfone ( brilliant apps)
+ great music (using it wid sony mdr-ed12lp)
+ n-gage (the best part for me)
+ smaller display but very crisp

- cam
- not as slim
- battery (5320 gives me 1.5-2 days)
- no menu transitions

I am using n73 and i need to replace it . . I have gone through 5530 reviews and read it that it cant hold even upto 5hrs . . Is it true . .

how about samsung star which is available for 9k now??

hey guys nobody has mentioned SE G502 here...its for 7k n is a smart phone with 3.5G support...what else do u want...+ the music player is the same as in walkman phones with mega bass and i`ve used G700 for some time with HPM 70 earphones..it made a great combination..but the only db in this phone can be its camera and its OS itself..symbian SE phones sux...

it's not a music phone. it's more like a business class phone.

K

samsung star is a decent buy for 9k ... but i think it wud be better to wait for the 5530 ... costs bout 240euros ... thats a great price ....

only hope it releases fast in india ... ppl are still waiting for the5630

i got samsung star s5233 and as far as i think it iis the best phone available in this price range if u ignore when comp to c510
-3g(no use as of now)
-3.2mp w/o AF and flash

but inturn u get
3" large touchscreen (240*400) which is great for watchin videos
good music quality
good thumb optimised interface(esp. qwrty with haptic feedback)

1. Its not a "smart phone" - it can only run java apps
2. No 3.5mm audio jack

Well I am satisfied frm my C510
yesterday I gt updated it's firmware frm d SE center
Now it's really working fast
