^^^N96 is just a rumour...

the SE k890 with a 7.2 mp cam is scheduled later this year and also the w980...the iphone killer...

but as of now the w960 is the way to go if u want pure music nirvana..

i dont think ne die hard nokia fan will disagree that sony rules the music roost with its walkman phones..and sound thru the w960 is the best of the lot...

only downside..it doesnt have edge but 3g...

now its upto u....buy the phone wch suits ur needs

first of all invisiblex1 talk with a little amount of respect here for evrybody..
and for ur quote here's the slap on the face : my n95 8GB takes 15 SECONDS (if nt 15 then max 20 seconds) to get it going working (if the pin is disabled)..!!
and that too without the firmware update...
let alone go the startup timings when i update my firmware.!

thnks anyways

dimag hai ki gobar
N82 best

pata hai N82 mein Xenon Flash hai :mad:
iska matlab yeh nahi ke n82 best hai :p

pehle uska budget dekho.. 30k :)

N95 8GB's 2.8 screen looks huge. People prefer bigger screen,
the N95 8GB has the clear advantage here.

The N95 8GB's dedicated muisc keys allows you to controls your music while performing other tasks like playing N-Gage games. Another win for the N95 8GB.

aur yeh n82 silver dabbe se to n95 8gb bahot acha dikhta hai.. :p
n95 8gb bole toh black beauty :D

Budget dropped...............

Guys,
I told him the problems while going for a phone abt 30k.
Today we can get a HCL laptop for 14k.
Also the extra caution to be taken while handling it.
Then he also thought abt it and now he wants a good phone within 20k.

*Cam >3MP
*Good Sound quality
*3G,EDGE Support

Plz give your opinion abt
5610,
5310,
5700


Is there any SE Walkman phone with >3MP cam and flash ?

If you care only about looks, iPhone.
If you care only about features, n82.
If you want a great blend of both. w960i.

If u dont need Wifi, 3G, then head for Samsung G600. Only for 17k. 5MP Cam, VGA Video, FM radio recording, TV-out etc etc. Worth the bucks.
Its cam n flash is better than N958GB.
Give it a shot!

I still say get a N82



It's a candy bar device
It got a Xenon flash
It got a faster camera
It got a MicroSD slot
It's cheaper

N82 - purely on Ergonomics, you can do everything one-handed,more fast and stable.

Check out how n95 8g and n82 performs in low light.Pictures are from mr forum(member-chickenbackside)

n95 8gb is no match for nightshots against xenon flash of n82..

even dayshots of n82 is bit better cos of better image processing ..

i know that both phones have same camera hardware ..though quick serach on net shows many people comparing both and finding n82 a wee bit better than n95 8gb due to better image processing .

this may be true or not,.. but still ..for me n82 is the phone to get ..
