Oh I forgot to add the Blackberry pearl or the blackberry curve.

S

dude!, i will definitely suggest the W960i!!

W960i...

out of these 3?? then w960 for sure..

if w960i wd hav had edge then i wd surely go 4 it.. But since it doesnt i m confused between it and the n95..

S

it does not have EDGE - true, but which service provider in india, has enough quality, to provide a decent gprs connection, leave alone EDGE...

That's very true.. Airtel's mobile office really sux nowadays...

I will recommend N95.

Be sure that he is not bringing 'demo' piece of W960i or E90, as they are not yet released in Korea!

So,stick to N95 or even ask for "Nokia N95 8GB",a special edition,expected shortly!!

I liked the W960i too, due to its cool looks and 8gb, but now oval man has confused me with the demo version, ofcourse my friend wont be so dumb to get a demo phone,but will it work in India on Reliance GSM sim cards? thats the question. N95 is available here at rs. 27400/- with 160 MB internal memory expandable upto 2 GB microSD card. And now oval man says that N95 is coming out with 8GB version. Oh when will all this confusion end - heh heh. will this one come out by the 12th of july 2007. thanks anyways for all the help folks.

demo pieces can be got 4 200bucks.. So no1 can be so foolish to get a demo fone instead of a real one.. Also i dont think thats ny 8gb n95 is coming.. Thats pure BS..

B

i recommend E90 with all the facilities of n95 and w960i without walkman player and touchscreen support.........

W960i or K850i

my suggestion....

worth

W960i isn't out yet...if he's coming AFTER its released, then yeah...get the W960...otherwise, of the other 2 Nokias, I'll say get the N95...

Wat is gonna be ur primary use with fone btw?

S

hey how much could the w960i cost when it comes to india.

K

^^ ~36k.

i had thot it wd be 25-30k..

36k?!!! are u sure?? where is it put up? source??!!

if thats true then thats insanely priced!!! not worth spending so much!!! no way!

K

That was just my guess. But if you think about all the features especially the 8gb memory, 3mpix auto focus camera and touch screen, 36k seems to be correct. K850i would most probably be in the region of 25-30k. (Don't forget that W880i despite not being too special was launched at 24k by SE). The prices will drop down soon to affordable levels though.

I think prices will stabilise to around 25 K for the W960i within 3-4 months of launch...

it should stabilse otherwise not may ppl will buy it. and i dun think asking a high price for 8gb memory is justified. that has become real cheap now. considering today's world and media requirement, 8gb is meagre storage space!

w960i for 30-35k

Hmm...8 GB increases the price. Why can't SE release a version with only 1 GB Memory + Memory card. Not only this will be cheap but also more flexible. Not everyone needs more then 1 gb or 512 MB memory.

K

Had it been a hard drive as in N91 8gb (20k) it would've been cheaper. But its flash memory. iPod Nano 8gb still costs 15k despite only playing music and images.

N95 special music edition 8gb...wait and go for it

^ - Is this confirmed?? Link pls!

O

N95 8GB..........?!

Hv a look...........*www.symbian-freak.com/news/007/07/n95_8gb.htm

The n95 8gb ll be priced heavily... 8gb flash memory is very costly...
i think they may use samsung's nand flash chips.. Still i hope that after the release of the 8gb version the price of the standard n95 ll drop below 20k... fingers crossed

Also the whole thing is just a rumour based on this...
*nds.nokia.com/uaprof/NN95_8GB-1r100.xml
So dont pin ur hopes on it..

i do not understand one thing. how can 8gb flash memory be heavily costly when it comes to phone? the same nand memories are used in flash drives (commonly called pen drives).. and the speediest of the 'pen' drives provide the same transfer speed and reliability (life time) when used in a phone while the price is peanuts! i fail to understand the logic.

^^ ok temme how much does a high speed 8gb pen drive cost???
not the low speed cheap ones...

I think Transcend is retailing at what ... 4 K ?? Its been a while since I've been in the market...but you have to understand, that a pendrive is a discrete storage solution. Integrating the flash memory into a phone keeping in mind its functioning in conjunction with the other subsystems integrated in the phone tends to increase costs. But however expensive that is, anything over 25 K is exorbitant for this phone.

faraazBut however expensive that is said:
exactly! thats what i'm saying...

i think w960i is the best now
