Nokia 3110C vs SE W200i(512MB)

A

Hi guys

I am planning to buy a mobile
Max budget:5 K

I am thinking between Nokia 3110C and SE W200i(512MB) ..
Which one you guys prefer..?

Nokia 3110 C has hell lot's of features(even edge,bluetooth)..
SE misses with edge,bluetooth

Moreover SE supports Memory Stick Micro (M2) which AFAIK is costlier than microSD supported by Nokia

and one more thing if there is any other set's in this range offering the same features please post them here

Go for the 3110 Classic... It's a great phone given the budget... If you can spend some more money, the 3500 Classic can be yours with a 2MP camera. I am not sure about the picture quality though... But it would definitely be better than the SE W200i.

And, also keep in mind that a 1GB Memory Stick costs around 900, whereas a MicroSD Card for the Nokia costs only 400 for 2GB.

Thanks for the reply
But i have heard that Nokia 3110 C will not ship with any usb cable...
That means i have to buy a Micros SD as well as USB cable

^^the w200i does not even have half the features of 3110c....but does have better earphones...

so 3110c + 1 GB (Rs.200) and along with some good earphones will be a great option....

w200i + 1 GB (Rs.900) wont have bluetooth and edge,only VGA and so on...

you can have the data cable for about 50 or 75 rs in the local market...(my frnd got one for 3500c for 25 rs)...

@Ebdurg
Rite said bro.

Or, another simple thing to do would be to also buy a Card reader (for around 150 Rs).
This will not only help in fast data transfers esp. songs to the card and the cable will also double up for the phone....

3110c is definitely a much better phone than W200i. If you listen to music then just get a 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm converter. The sound quality rocks. I've tested it with my 5700's headset. Sound quality-wise it's even better than my 5700!

3110...I had used it..Nice set..

3110 classic all the way to go .....................

Nokia 3110c.......All the way.

Nokia 3110c got Bluetooth which W200i lacks. Plus, 3110c has got a 1.3mp camera.

And now close this thread.

hmm...
Everyone suggesting that
I searched the forum about Nokia 3110 C
and found this Nokia 3110 Classic Sucks !!! ???
Please don't bump that thread..
Let's continue the discussion here

Hey Guys I AM Realy Upset To Say I Was Attract NOKIA 3110c camera adver. finally i grab it. but it suks if u belive me some sucking points-:
*.1.3 meaningless output very poor output in night
*.Automatically Restart Not In My Particular Set But All Nokia 3110c
*.10 Class GPRS Sucks. Internet Automatically Disconnected At Time Of Period.
*.Harsh Look Keypad
*.Major Software Problem Freinds..
*.Low Sound Quallity.
*.No Wav Supports In Audio Player.
*.8 Mb Internal Memory Toooo Foolish Even U Cant Open Any Wallpaper Sometimes Due To Memory

All These Foolish In Just Under 5500 Rs/-
Why??
Freinds Do U Have Any Answers

And researching about it i also found that the Mobile Restarts quite often and will hang when tried to use a micro SD of 512+mb capacity

And in the mean time also suggest a good economical SIM card and plan

BTW can i use Nokia 3110 C without any SIM ..?

^^ Well dude, my cousin got Nokia 3110c at home and I would say its the best phone available in your budget.

1) Ahh come one yaar, it hasn't got any Flash.....So, the camera will definitely suck at night. You can just use the night mode though.
2) My cousin's 3110c never automatically restarts....It hasn't got any sort of software problems.
3) W200i also got class 10 GPRS......So, that doesn't make any difference.
4) And believe me, Keypad is one of the most comfortable to use.
5) Sound Quality < W200i but still it is a better all round fone.
6) WAV support......Yeah, it doesn't play WAV files......Anyways WAV files are big......Thats the reason why MP3, WMA, AAC came into existence. And yeah, it supports all the 3 above. Pluse, it can play and record QCIF videos in 3GP format.
7) You got the microSD card, use it.....

But the phone has got a sluggish screen.....But that doesn't matter when you're getting so much of features.

But anyways, I think that my cousin's phone has got a newer S40 firmware, thats why it is good....He got the phone in April.

whats ur main usage ? if it is music, go for SE W200i

That guy is foolish he wants a N82 for 5500 /- ( now it is 4400rs)

Harsh look keypad : what does he mean by that ?

Major Software Problem Freinds.. that guy is a complete fool don't know how to handle a mobile ask him what problem is he getting my friend is using that phone for more than 6 months no problem yet.

Even the phone got 2.5 mm jack

that guy might have got paid by someone to bad name 3110c :lol:

dude in that section 3110 classic wins hands down

well if you don't wanna buy it then i will suggest samsung E250

E250 is not at all better than 3110C period

W200i is damn foolish phone

-1 w200
+1 n3110c

Go for the 3110c..Yahi hai right choice....

That's not true. It's the Walkman branding which usually fools people into believing that the phones automatically sound superior to all the other phones, which actually couldn't be farther from the truth. In reality both phones sound similar. I've spent considerable time hearing both of them. If you put a similar pair of headphones on both the phones then you'll be hard-pressed to find any perceptible difference between the sound quality.

Don't get fooled by the brand names guys. The proof of the pie is in the eating. And eating it yourself. ;-)

Noopes.Sound quality in the W200 is much better.Provides better bass and a richer feeling to the music, comes with good bundles headphones too. I daresay, a person buying a budget phone wont buy an earphone as an accessory.

Initially I found it a bit hard to believe too. But the bass in 3110c is just as awesome as any Walkman phone out there. It's totally kickass. You just need a good earphone to get it out. And there is no lack of richness too whatsoever.

+1 for 3110 classic

On side note, if possible increase your budget & get Nokia 6233 = Good music + Good 2 MPcamera + 3G + Good screen

Man go for 3110 classic...I bought last month for Rs.4600 with 512mb card free....
Its great...along that I bought a memory card reader cost Rs.150...u will get micro usb cable with it.. which u can use as mobile cable too.....Soo that becomes

Rs.4800 with 3110 classic + 512 MB card + card reader +datacable

enjoy

Show over
Just came from shop with a brand new Nokia 3110 C

Cost:4700
There is 512MB card free but damn it has no adapter

Then i purchased a card reader for 200rs
The cable can also be used to connect the Mobile

I strongly suggest everyone that Nokia 3110C is the best mobile in this range
Keypad is awesome,music good,picture quality nice

So total cost=4700+200=4900

That's nice price in Hassan..

Here are some of the pics that i have taken

If I could remember correctly, there was a shay hosted by Rohit Roy on DD Metro with the same name about 8-9 years ago.....???

Congrats adi007....That BSNL plan is awesome dude...But I am not sure abt the connectivity of BSNL in ur area...Here in my area, it is simpy pathetic..So, I switched over 2 Airtel 3 months back..Just check the connectivity of BSNL in ur area..Otherwise, the plan sounds simply superb..

dude there is one earphone of 3110 classic for 70 rs by nokia only get those it totally kick ass the HPM-62 provided by SE

A

Thanku gagandeep,uppalpankaj
@uppalpankaj:No problem with connectivity in Hassan coz my friend has this SIM and connectivity is nice
I was surprised that there is no good connectivity in your area coz AFAIK BSNL has the largest connectivity
@krates:will look for it...
BTW i think if one purchases the elastic for the 2 ear buds(10-15rs) then it is enough...

Congrats adi007.

woow woow........used w200i for abou8 months.....and modded it to full extent{and sold}

Sure you can minimize your Java apps in the W200i. But without the Activity Menu, which is absent in W200i, there is no way you can switch between apps. So essentially you end up using one app at a time, which is not much of a multi-tasking.

V

Prefer 3500c.

I've been using it 4 arnd 1 month n d phone rox. The sound quality is gud n cam pics r also acceptable provided u take dem in good lighting. It now even comes wid bundeled 512mb mem card. No data cable provided, but dats not a problem.

Overall gud VFM for a rs.5400 phone.

If u wanna look in some other brand then try lokkin at the new Samsung J210. Heard dat it's a gud phone. Price arnd the same as 3500c. Ithink dat it's provided wid a 1gb microSD (not sure), n ya it gets a data cable wid it 2.

activity menu is possible in w200i too dude.....i had it and when i sold it the guy to whom i gave that was astonished at that

and about multitasking u can atleast read SMS or fully use ur media player {i mean except camera and second java app} u can use the entire phone....and w200i will run java applications more smooth than 3110 and even 6300...

How can you say that? Please elaborate.

Isnt that obvious.SE phones are known to be good at handling java applications. No phone comes close to SE when handling java applications.Much faster and smoother.

means ok let it b opera mini in 6300 and in w200 there is lag in scrolling through pages and in w200 it is smooth....!!!!and real difference is seen when using morange....

Fine

But the lag is seen only in old phones, my 5700 runs java apps smoothly.

Hi,
What's a 2.5mm to 3.5mm converter? Do you know it's cost? Also which earphones go well with nokia 3110c? What's it's cost?

H

^^^ with the 2.5mm to 3.5mm converter u can use any standard 3.5mm earphones with ur phone.
for the earphones part try to get urself a Panasonic in-earphones for 300-350bucks.if u wanna spend more then get the EP630.

W200 lacks Bluetootht
but has great sound quality through Speakers as well as headphones

One thing I must note here: For budget less than Rs. 150, MOST of the good earphones are 2.5mm jack based ones. So I strongly recommend that you put away the option of buying the converter. I have found several awssome earphones for 2.5mm jack below Rs. 150 which simply sound AWSSOME.
