I am entitled for a company handset and the entitlement is Rs. 6500. I have zeroed down on w350i and 5310 and I am very confused. Which one should I go for? I can spare a couple of thousand from my pocket and increase the entitlement. I will be essentially looking at these two phones mainly because of their thin form factor.

Which is better in playing music especially at deep bass? Please guide.

5310 won't fall under your budget. I'd instead suggest you get W350i.

^^ Budget aside, which is better in playing music?

5310. Better sound quality, 3.5mm headphone jack and dedicated music keys. *s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj44/visio159/Unismilies/74.png

5310 is also better at hanging, crashing and being very unreliable. The w350 on the other hand is moddable, and when modded provides the best possible sound from a phone. Oh, it has dedicated keys too.

I suggest you go for this or any other products of the Rokr range.

You can't play or pause or FF/REW while, say, web browsing or typing a message in W350i now can you? Then it beats the whole purpose of having dedicated music keys if they are not always available.
