Key Facts --
1> I have to gift a phone to my sister .. budget is not much (as usual

)
2> req is NOKIA + FM + little bit space for few songs...
3> budget u can guess around 5k or 6k or so..

i can increase it for 5500 .. whats it cost in market..

--> Your other suggestions are most welcome

I think you should go for Nokia 3500 Classic. 5500 costs around 7k. Unless you need a smartphone, i think you should go for 3500 Classic.

+1.. 3500c for 6.2k is the best choice 4 those who dont need symbian

dnt knw bout 3500c ... but bw 3110c and 5500 ........ 5500 is wayyyyyyyyyyy better ........

I would recommended N3500 too. One more suggestion would be Samsung E250 (slider). Except the "Nokia" brand it has everything else you need. I believe you can get it under 5k now.

^^ E250 has VGA camera which is very poor.

+1 for samsung e250.It has a 1.3 MP camera.
Get nokia 5500.Smartphone are always better if u know how to use.
If u don't want symbian then go for Nokia 5300.

No where I see mention of camera. Considering the features and purpose he's mentioned I suggested E250. I believe except VGA cam its an excellent phone.

Nokia 3500 has all that he wants. But IMHO 3110 and 3500 look horrificly ugly!

3500 if no symb
or 5500

A

3500 does not seeem so ugly infra bhai !! the grey blue is amazing. and the pink one is not bad as well !!

if you want symbian then 5500 sure

Yesterday one of my friend was confused with same budget and same phones as you are now.
finally he purchased Motorola L9(2Mp ) Rs 7,400( after i lend him some money

). Its a beautiful handset, 5500 and 3110 doesn't stand a chance in looks and features.

but Moto L9 is not a symbian phone

I recommend Noika 5700. Very good phone.

@infra 3110 to thik hai..

:shock:

^^ya

@shashank4u, i told that because rollcage likes Symbian...

i bought nokia 5500 a week back for Rs. 6800 from Nokia Priority.

its an awsome phone.... with loads of features...

- s60 v3
- 2mp camera with nice video recording
- 3.5mm jack so you can use any headphones
- when you are listening to songs, just tap the phone to change the track
- torchlight
- 512mb micro sd card bundled
- stereo headset hs-29 bundled
- interesting pre-installed games
- message reader

i'm really happy i decided to buy 5500.... and i saw 3500 in the shop.... it looks awful

don't go by the pic..... have a actual look at the phone..... even i found the phone cool when i looked at the pic.... but when u take it in your hand u realize how ugly it is..... the silver outline part bulges out and makes the phone look like a bowl

^^^ exactly what I was saying!

My bro has 3110c and i have used it . Its good looking phone yaar .

^^^^ no bhai i didnt like the looks n its display. but its features r excellent in the price of 5.7K. firstly i was not able beleive that it had all those features in that price range. so i recommended my dad to hav that(coz he dont go for looks but only features)

Yup i have seen the blue back cover fone in my hands @ abhishek, infra but didnt find it ugly at all.. and the outline doesnt BULGE out.. its just a bit protruding..

hmm .. nice but 3110 n 3500 is shiny but look cheap ..

n s40 phone

The main Point

4. If it had soo many good features why it didnt sell much

features are so good ... I want to buy it.

The screen is too small dude. The fone is fast and responsive.. Btw if u can increase ur budget go 4 the e50

^ I tried E50 of my friend, good phone but keppad not so, joystick sucks and doesnt have FM

A

and the 5500 has a problem of peeling keypad as well along with small screen.

W

does 3110 needs to be charged for 2.5+ hrs?

Yaa.. It takes around 2.45hrs to make it full tank

ya.... screen size is disadvantage..... its quite small compared to other phones....

and i guess it didn't sell much coz when it was introduced it was too expensive...... and its cheap now coz i think they have stopped its production

^^ nope they havent stopped but decreased

^ I cant find 5500 sport in DELHI .. they say it not available at all .. for get the music edition

..

Budget is little increased .. I think .. N73 ME is kool at 14.9K .. but any alternatives..

Whats the current price of iphone in GaffarMkt Delhi?

Purchased Nokia - N73 ME for Rs. 14,650/-

Nice Cam, Good sound, and 2GB Card

Just that when I am installing some applications .. like FExplorer . it says .. Expired Certificate? what to do..

Check your phone date.
You must have set it to earlier one.Correct it.

Oggplay installed when i changed to 2006 from 2007 , but why is it so?

hey 5500 is shown at 12800 on indiagsm.com and so how can u buy it at rs.6800

it may be old one which u purchased..

plz confirm

^ 5500 Sport main .. ek Music Edition bhi aaya tha.. but Nokia has called back all the phone from market. Its not at all available.

Congrats on your purchase !!

^ Thanx

... The phone is really cool,
now I think .. the need to buy a digi cam is delayed .. pics from camera are really good
