Ok guys, My father is planning to get a new mobile. The budget is arnd 12-15k. The main features requires are 3G, GPRS,Bluetooth and Business Features like e-mailing and all. Another thing, the bigger the LCD screen, the better. Camera is not a necessity..rather the one without is preferred. Can u guys plz list some phones compatible with these demands.
I tries searching Nokia and sony-Ericcson site. I found the 66X0(I forgot whats X) to be compatible to his demands....but i was not much impressed. On the S-E site...i found the K-Series phones to be suitable...they also had sleek looks...but i dunno whether they support 3G and all.
Interested brands---Nokia,motorola,sony-ericsson,siemens(not in LG,samsung and all)
Any help is deeply appreciated :)

Maybe he wants to be futureproof or use it outside INDIA where the service is available. Go and get a N6630, great mobile with excellent feature and performance. Price 11-11.5K.

Its not he(my father) who wants 3G, its me :D . Actually, i had recently read an article abt the features of 3G and the amazing connectivity it offers, so i decided that my father should have a 3G phone...but i never knew that no one india provided this service :p
anyways, these are the phones i shortlisted aftyer my search through the sites--:
S-E K600i or K608i
==AND==
Nokia 6630 or 6670

Luckily , all offer 3G connectivity. :lol
Can u guys plz tell me the prices of these few phones...and which one will has the best features. Currently, i feel 600i is damn good, but i have no idea of its price :(

EDIT: Couldnt find much on Moto and Siemens sites...any good phones from them?

Yup,
N70 does support 3G... and regarding SE phones, u'll surely face sw problems, coz java sw are not all that powerful and u'll not be able to run any symbian sw on it.....
