the one question i wanted to ask is the topic of this thread. i felt this was a steal too... and ppl say its an upgrade on the 3110c ... so maybe we need not worry on the value for money part. the features seem to be very good as well... i'm getting this phone tomo...

There cannot exist a Nokia camera phone without zoom. They might sell camera phones one day without lens, but without zoom? No way! Nokia takes its zoom very seriously. There must be zoom in this phone too.

Samsung J600 has almost all the above features.... just that it has 1.3mp camera instead of 2mp.

it comes for Rs.5850 and is a slider phone..... why doesn't anyone go for that???

Digital Zoom is just like the feature zooming of the pics (eg:taken photo) with strict loss of quality with every zoom.But optical zoom is different it uses optic's so there's no loss in the Photo.
Btw :abhi do enquire well and go for 3500 coz its new product .,..

Definitely the 3500 if you don't want Symbian. Plus 6630 is too old a phone.

amigo sandios, namste bro's

i use this mobile, as far as i am concern. mobile is a device which is used to talk and it's okay if it has all the modern tech facilities with littile resolution. Always recomended to use proper mania. say for eg: camera use a digital camera, video and audio use an audio syste lolz

so nok 3500c is a cool mobile to use in my views.:D
