If sound is your priority over cam, go for w300i.

look friends i was also thinking of buying w300i, as i already have SE K300i,
and i knw how gud SE phones performance is bt let me pls explain y i am having the confusion

LG KG 300 have a 2MP camera, FM Recording , video ringtones, pretty nice features to go for in same price as W300i bt having read in forums n heard from people tat LG phones are not to be trusted.
So wat to do?? hope u ppl help and understand the my dilemma

Go with K750i @9500/-, 2mp cam, great sound (lower than Nokia but can flash it with W800 software after 1 yrs) and VFM.

don't buy any LG phone?

If i've choose between the two, i'll suggest W300i. If you don't mind a Samsung, you can go for X700 which has 1.3 mpix camera, bluetooth, music player, fm radio, micro sd, stereo speakers, 176x220 262k display, A2DP, etc. It should come for around 7.5k.

V3i is not bad but it lacks few features like fm, edge, etc. Also its reputed to be very delicate and has very low resale value. Add motorola's not-so-intuitive interface, you're better off away from it. Z550i and W300i are better choices comparatively.

if you don't need EDGE but need better camera..... ... SE k750i may be the best phone..... 2 MP camera.... sound is also pretty good..... no idea about current price of k750i......... and 5200 have a simple VGA camera.... nothing special..... Samsung X700 and SE z550i also are good choice....

My friend bought 5200 recently,even with 256K colours,display is not good as it has only 128 x 160 pixels and camera is well below average,no dedicated music buttons.Price is 7.6K
These are corrected in 5300,display is brilliant 240 x 320 pixels ,cam is 1.3mp,dedicated music buttons+ but costly at 10.8K
Other features like fm,mp3,java,memory card,etc., are same.
