my sister needs a good (obviously) QWERTY phone for price above mentioned. Nokia is preferred. I think the E series are good, but I wanted to know your opinion. I tend to stay away from other brands because I think nokia is like the grand-daddy of them all. Are the other brands too complex?

Give me a few suggestions please.
Thank you.

I would suggest u to either wait for Nokia C6 or else Go with Samsung Corby pro

E71 is good but its not a multimedia phone...a business phone

+1 for E71, it is business phone still good for watching movies...camera is good.
better headphone is additionally required if you want good mp3 sound.

C6 is coming soon and taking its technical specs at face value, offers a great set of functionality at just 13.5k (expected). It should be out sometime this month... But it is better you wait for a few days after its arrival to get feedback from those who have bought it before you finalize and purchase it...

Just go and get E71. It's slim, sturdy and amazing performer. the qwerty keypad too is very very comfortable to use.

m looking at the same price range of around 15k with qwerty keypad but a slider qwerty phone.

1. c6 looks promising but yet to be released.
2. lg gw620 has too many complaints with a very old android os
3. htc touch pro 2 is outdated and expensive
4. x10 mini has too many complaints again with the screen size
5. nokia n97 mini is a little expensive and i dont like symbian although c6 is an exception
6. corby pro looks promising too but some users complain about the keypads and very low battery life.

any more suggestions?

samsung phones has one MINUS point. installing software like dictionary or any java app is a pain in the A$$!! learn from SE.

anyways m also looking forward to C6. hope its not forever with rumours stating that it will be in August and not June!
