K300i will give 12MB memory while 3220 has only 4MB.

Also K300i camera images are bigger in resolution than N3220.

N3220 does have a 5 way nav. keypad which is difficult to use than joystick. It is difficult to press center key on it. Others may have diff. opinion.

Also lack of IR is -ve about 3220 coz you cannt do phone to phone transfer of images. It was supported in the older version of phone ie 3200.

EDIT: And you will miss that IR in N3220 very much.
EDIT2: Sorry I was confused between 3200 and 3220 about that video capture thing.

i bought k300i 2 weeks back for 6.1k

the keypad is quite good, especially the joystick is very very soft....after using it, using the joystick of 6600 became difficult.

one odd thing abt this phone is that some wav files play and some dont.....
the camera: the resolution is good upto 1280X960 resolution. but when i click the pic, the phone moves a bit and the picture comes bad...also sometimes i feel there is a lot of light in the picture..

but the best thing of this phone is its speakers, although u wont be able to put a lot of songs in this phone, but still listening to music is gr8 experience in this...even when i call someone who has a RING BACK TONE with good beats, it sounds really nice, i compared calling the same guy from k300i, ngage qd and a landline phone, and the sound of k300i is really superb....the media player also has a equalizer in it.

Thanx for pointing it out.

i was confused between N3200 and N3220 there.

BTW N3220 has 16 poly midi while SE K300i has 40 poly midi support.

Also K300i supports MP3s as ringtones while N3220 doesn't play MP3s at all.

hey friend N3220 does not have FM.
i think SE K300i is the best bet compare to N3220.
because SEk300 has 12mb compare to N3220 4mb.
SE k300i has very sound quality.
u can also play mp3 songs on it.

ok dear even i get decent speed without edge in airtel....a very little diff does it make wit edge....atleast in india....coz our network does not handle that big transfer speed in such conjested traffic....there r frequent breakups in connection....so its not like constant....n breakups lead to uselessness of optimal download speeds which ur mobile can provide.
try checking out in testmy.net n compare it without edge.

btw, lemme remind ppl here that we r starting a new thread...that poor chap is just asking abt k300i or n3220. my advice again, if u dont bother fm then k300i wud be by far best against 3220 as it suits all ur needs...better cam. pic quality n many more stuff.

cheers
