MuSic phone within 15k!!!!

My friend if u want to buy N73 then buy N73ME,
But as I personally like SE' phones I will suggest u check them also.
Moto ROKR U9 is also good (at least its reviews)
From the SE side ckeck out for new W595i, W902i, K850i, (P1i, if u can)
or else N81

I suggest you go for the Samsung i450. But, check out the set before buying it. Samsung has some stability issues. Check out the E8 too.

Samsung i450

if u r an audiophile then look no ahead of the Sone Ericsson Walkman series (W595, W902,...).See this *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=93754

yes about the menus and stuff SE does lag behind. I am a SE user but if budget permits i'll go for nokia higher models. Nokia high-end phones feature the Symbian Series 60 OS which boasts of customization. Loads(read Tons) of software are there for it. U may wanna look at 5320 or 5310 or 5610 buddy. Dont be fooled by the Nseries tag. Its the device that matters. Go read the reviews and u'll understand wat i say. I am not confident about the price but should be close to ur budget

Dont even think about the Xpressmusic series. The phones have huge quality issues. Btw, 5610/5310 are S40 phones and come nowhere close to the A200 platform provided by SE.

W595,W902 has been announced and will release only in October.

N81 :d

n81 all the way ..

N81, w890.

Get a SE W890i.

+1 N81

N81 sucks...get any other but that.

Get the E8, throw in a 8gb Sandisk (2gb is already built-in), plug in the EP630 and forget the world.

^^ Are you sure it supports 8 GB??
I think max is 4 GB?

It's extremely difficult to operate E8's keypad and scrollpad. Moreover, it's display is too tiny.

Samsung i450 would be a much better choice.

No problem at all, i'm posting all this from my E8, and it has the best text prediction I've seen in a phone and yes it does support 8gb without any issues.

Hey Hitboxx, you got the E8?? Reviews and piccys??

/me is out of town and will be for some more days, maybe when I return, but I'm sure ZN5 will be out by then

you will sell off ur 1 month old E8 for the Zn5?? :O

LoL when did I say that, I never sell my cellphones, maybe recycle them when they die, but never sell . Anyway I think we are getting offtopic here, laterz.

hmm... ok so basically one of these three??
1. N81
2. SE w890i
3. Samsung i450

hmmm...interestin.... ok which one of these has best music playback??..
and im not considering music xpress phones coz some of my friends had some problems with those sets....!!

And yea, those new cells released my SE, i cant really wait for them, my college starts in 2 weeks and I have to get somethin asap!!!!

Well. the i450 has better sound quality of the 3, followed by W890 and N81. But the W890 makes it up with excellent playback features. It is 9 mm thick, weighs 77 g and has amazing build quality(metal). Has a great UI and a psp media menu. Also check out the W760 which has gps.

OMG!! The W760 is available for 14.5k and 15.5k in mobile store. Forget everything and get that. Walkman with gps. uber cul.

if u want music and nothing else then either get the E8 or U9.also get a EP-630.both these phones support 8GB cards.

E8 and U9 does not look that good. Samsung i450 is better. I have seen it. Also W760 is good option if its 15k

W760 is the cake. Brilliant sound quality, GPS, accelerometer, shake control, Walkman, 3.2 mp cam.

N81 + 8gig card .

N81 music player is at par(if not better ) with i450. But for little extra price you'll get way better screen , best browser in class , best gaming experience . Plus i450 , though symbian , dont work very well with 3rd party applications. And v20 firmware of n81 is amazing , it even supports full youtube.com with videos !

I know dream will now start ranting about n81's build and bla bla bla. But just go to a shop and see a real n81 before you take decisions.

Rokr E8 is nice phone , but i think the phone is very overpriced for the features is offers.the sound quality is very good , but everything else is subpar for its price.

arree.. its dreams job to bash nokia and promote se .. I hope his paid by se to do this ..hee hee ..

Whatever man, n81 is a piece of crap. Check the RMAA ratings( hows many times do i have to say this?). W760 has better sound acoustics and is presenly the best walkman after the W980(comparable to the ipod??)..

^^^^
i am just joking yaar .. yup i have heard bad things abt its build quality and slider mechanism .. but it looks cool though .. and heard and read over net that it has excellent sound quality .. no hands on exp though ..

@dream how much does SE pay u to promote them out here and bash Nokia?

The first batch of n81 had pathetic build quality. Even the sliding mechanism wasn't even spring loaded & overall the handset felt like cheap samsung slider. But things have changed completely. Sliding is now spring loaded and feels sturdy. Like i've said , just check a real handset before deciding. Only gripe is the phone is heavy , but still its a very nice phone to hold , and the weight gives it a premium feel.

Few things like support for cheap micro sdhc card , 3.5 mm lack , ipod like hardware jack & naviwheel , and most importantly dedicated music keys that are accessible from ANYWHERE AND ANY APPLICATION makes it a great standalone music player . It's also very much capable of driving big can headphones like philips shp2700 , creative hq 1400 without any distortion and very high volume. And i bet if you're using creative ep 630 then you wont be able to hear it at more than 80% volume. Its that loud.

And about the new firmware , just search youtube.com with "n81+firmware+v 20" . Its amazing.
