I want to buy a multimedia Phone.The following features should be present:
1)Good Battery life
2)Very good picture quality
Atleast a 3MP camera with high optical zoom
4)Should have expandable memory upto 8 GB
5)Should not slow down on getting loaded with images,songs,videos etc.
6)Very good sound quality and speakers.
7)Bundled earphones should be very good
8)Should be very sturdy.
9)Should be priced below Rs 12,000
10)Should have a FM Radio.
11)Should have flash
12)should have large display
I personally prefer Nokia,but I am open to other brands if they meet the following criteria.I prefer a symbian Phone so that lots of software ,games and themes can be installed.Does the Nokia N73 Music Edition meet allt these requirements?Is the new samsung star a good phone with all the above criteria?Please suggest as many options possible as i have to select a good one.My mother is gonna buy me one for my birthday.Need it fast Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz:-(:-(:-(

N73ME has all those features except 3 things

Phone becomes very slow with anything more than 4GB & loading images might become slow if u have too many images in ur mobile.

For earphone u can buy Ep-630

Are you insane ? No phone in the world can fully comply your list even if you're son of bill gates !

Be realistic man !

Except the optical zoom, the K810 very much fits the need, or maybe the C510.

@gohan89 oh digital zoom is just bullshit ... i prefer the sony technique of not zooming at all at max res ... zoom in later into the full pic ... so zoom is not a good criteria ...
