I want to buy cell phone specially for music listening. I've following requirements.

*best possible music quality
*good memory (min. 1gb)
*good headset/headphone (i.e comfortable for ears).
*good build quality of phone.

Other features are not so important and I won't much think about them. What matters to me is the music quality, (bundled) accessories related to music & features related to music. Im confused between the following phones.

Nokia N73ME
SE W580i
MOTO ROKR E6

Or is there is any other phone (under Rs.16k) "specially good for music" I havn't listed??

Help me out guys... Im confused!

Hope I will get help from your experience & knowledge....

Looking for your responde :)

expect N73ME none of the other two has good music quality that n73me offers. . . if you are nokia fan. . buy it. . if you really want very good music and display quality consider Sony Ericsson.

I would still not recommend getting N91...
I would say wait for K850i to get its initial reviews and then decide between K850i and N73...

I say you go with SE K790i.
The music is good & so is the 3.2 MP cam.

thanks for reply guys..... i don't mind SE k-series. but i don't at all need good camera as i already have dslr nikon d80. anyways what about music quality of k-series? is better than walkman series? or similar? i don't just want to pay more money for good camera. instead in that price if some other phone having not much good camera but better music quality comes, i'll prefer that. so what you say now?

Dude 'azzu' has written is slowest phone.. thats why i asked.. if its not slow, its good.. this time im deciding between w580i and n73me.. its surprising nobody talked about moto rokr e6! by the way.. i want to know pros & cons of n73me and w580i.. also n73me is costlier than w580i.. why its so?

Yes N73 takes time for saving a pic.Rest it's a good phone to own.
N73=Nokia+Symbain+Music+Camera+Nseries tag :)

hmm.... but how much time? say 5sec? or more? or less? i right now have SE t610 which i bought 4 yrs back... my bro uses w700i.. thats why i wanted nokia (n73me) jus for difference.. but as i read its slow.. im again confused :(

so finally which one? w580i or n73me?

will somebody update prices of both (in pune) and how much capacity in memory card comes (bundled) with them?

It takes about 8-10 sec.
U get a 1GB with N73(Regular edition) & you get 2GB memory card + good headphones with N73ME

Yeah but the final output,is worth the wait.
I am also looking forward to buying it. :)

Cool G5 - Heh, the final output will be FAR from the moment you wished to capture. Camera quality makes NO sense if there's a huge delay like the 5+ sec you mention. Stupid waiting for disappointments. :)

cool_g5 : is it worth it really ??
far moore better than k790i which takes jus a second after the click ??

My N73 saves a pic in 4-5 secs....8 seconds is too much if your phone is taking that much time..
And about the overall slowness of the phone:None :) With the v4 firmware there is no lag at all and as pathiks mentioned 3-4 heavy applications can be easily managed by this phone...
If you can live without symbian go for SE...as simple as that...Atleast I can't live without it :D

Even i can't live without symbain. :)
The 8-10 sec delay is on my colleague phone,i also can't figure out why is it so slow.

Azzu - I think K790i & N73 both are neck to neck.

No matter how many debates you have over N73 vs. K790i you wont be able to choose a winner!

In my opinion you should go for N73 ME. It's very rich in features with great sound quality; and of course it's not that slow. Phones which run OSs are usually a bit slower than others but with them you have the choice of various 3rd party apps. and games.

ok I think N73me will be a good choice as Im already used to SE phones, I want to try Nokia this time. One last time- only discuss about the music & headsets quality. I've already heard music on SE w700i, w810i and w580i.. here im choosing between w580i & N73me. I havn't heard msuic on N73me. I want to see the review of those who have this phone. Is it same as SE or better or bad? I hope its not bad. So its same as SE or better than it? I think it will be almost same. Still I want to know owners review about N73me music & headsets quality. Hows it compared to SE's (particularly w580i) music and headsets quality? Waiting for reply...... thanks:)

Of course thats just your opinion, not the truth:D . Everybody knows that N91's music quality is better than all SE phones. And that N95's camera can make chutney of any SE camera including the K850i in both stills and video. (Infact K850i's camera is said to be the worst of all the 5 mpix camera phones, you confirm this by searching on the net.)

Nowadays most people live under the impression that SE phones are the best on the market, which is far from the truth. The truth is none of the companies make best phone. If anyone company creates the best phone with every possible feature, then they'll jeopardize the sales of their own phones before the ones from the competition. Thats why they make phones with carefully selected features and target then at a particular type of customer. Very rarely a phone like N95 comes which promises to be a do-it-all, but still it isn't without it flaws. But expecting fanboys to know this is expecting too much. They'll go on about how much their favourite company is the best and how it beats the competition in a particular or every aspect without actually checking out the truth.

You just claimed that no Nokia phone can beat SE in cam and music and i just gave you an example that proves your claim wrong.

Its not just you.

I've seen many forums where such SE fanboys exist who think that SE makes the best cell phones. Whenever someone asks which phone to buy, they'll promptly arrive and suggest some SE phone which may or may not suit the requirements of the thread creator. Of course they're not concerned about that particular person, but just want to claim how superior SE is over the competition, and that they do successfully.

I'm not against being a fan of a particular company. All i say is that when someone asks you for advice, suggest him what would suit his needs best instead of what you think is best, even if the product may not be of your favourite company.

Please don't be offended by my post. My intention was not to hurt your feelings. But do consider what i've just said :).
