Hey Guys

I am looking for a good phone with Wifi and Nice cameras and the shone should support multitasking like playing many games at once and running many apps and still able to receive calls.

It should also be a nice music phone or at least nice music capabilities and nice memory. 16GB for eg.

My budget is 15k and I have Short listed


Nokia 5800 EM ---> 250Euro

Nokia E71

Nokia E63---> does it have a-Gps support?


A-Gps would be a bonus

I am a hardcore music lover and I need phone to browse net and run game or any other apps.

I think you understand my needs as i am bad at explaining ^_^

5800 is not for gaming . Get n82 if possible. I heard its 17000 at chroma.
E63 dont have agps . And some people reporting hissing sound via headphone , so its not for music.

N82 is a super cool phone packed with a lot of features..See the black one..It really looks nice...Check out 4 urself...

Many people on the forum were complaining about the keys of N82 when I had bought it..But 2 tell u the truth, I haven't faced a problem with the keys even 4 a single day..Infact, there is a lot of spacing between the keys, so chances of pressing the wrong keys r minimal..And then u do get used 2 the keys within 2 days of usage..

Best 5 MP cam with a Xenon flash (I don't carry my digicam now)..GPS, TV-Out, 3.5 mm Jack, Symbian OS..Hardware accelarator, N-Gage 4 gaming, Wifi, 3G etc. What more can u ask 4?

If u really can increase ur budget, go 4 it..

Sony ericcson phones hate me. bought 2 Walkman series phone in a year and both phones were as good as brick in 9 months.
First was W5xx and it's camera got spoilt after i dropped from 1 feet.

I want nokia cuz it's like Maruti Service stations everywhere and would last like Maruti 800.

He wants preferably a Symbian.

Ok..If budget is a constraint why don't u get a N73 Music Edition for urself..Its cool 2..And get a creative EP-630 with the rest of the money..Music will rock...

Budget constraints? N78.
Otherwise N82.

N82 has 128 MB RAM, N78 has 96. So multi-tasking will be better on N82.
Besides that, N82 has a powerful processor along with a dedicated GFx chip.

N82 is worth it, but I would have much problems with N78 also. At the software level, they both are similar.

If you really need to stay below 15k , then i'd suggest you e51 , amazing build quality and great as a phone . Only problem is the screen is small.

Btw , n78 is much inferior to n82 hardware wise. Only buy it if you can get it below 12.5k . Its not worth even a penny more.

I would suggest for Nokia N82, am owning it from past one year, absolutely value for money device. I am into the mobile gaming company.... and its great add on advantage of playing N-gage, java and Symbian games on this device. And yes, Camera is ultimate for static fotos and alos for amzing video recoring purpose.

I was not talking about that.
I was actually saying that despite the differences in hardware, a casual user might now find much difference using both.

for multitasking no n series can come close to n82 .. it has some 92 mb ram free after fresh bootup .. even mighty n95 8gb has 84mb and newer ones like n85 has only 70 mb ram free ..
