Nokia 6300 vs SE w700i

R

which phone should i choose between the nokia 6300 and the sony w700i.....

w700i, any day!! (i'm not saying this jus coz i own a w700i myself!) 6300 is jus hype wid sooooooooooo many problems...

W700i is a much better phone

K

6233 is even better than these two.

Its ur personal choice..if u want wide software support and not much of a music person then go for 6300.
but i personally would go for w700i.
I guess 6233 is no more available now.(correct me if i m wrong)

^^ +1
6233>w700>6300

all the software the u can ever run on 6300 will run on w700i. the software support on both phones is the same!

and yeah these days its a bit diff. to find a 6233 in store. u mite've to go searching for it.

No doubt W700i.If you can extend your budget then W810i

dude 6300 has just as much "wide" support as the w700i.. its a s40v2 fone... only java apps

obs w700i

.............6300 is a sillly phone man...nokia din't do a good job there

6300 is a s40v3 fone,possibly a s40v3 FP1.

as long as its s40 it doesn't matter for the apps. only the java engine may be upgraded. but the no. of programs do not depend on the engine. only some performance parameters do which are not very much visible in real world situation.

Ok thanks for correctimg me. I thought every symbian based mob supports all symbian softwares.
If u can find 6233, go for it. else w700i is best choice.

6300 is not symbian based. Only S60, S80, S90 and UIQ phones have Symbian OS. 6300 is a S40 phone.

thanks for the great replies, everyone!

by the way is nokia 6233, by any chance, an old model?.....how does it compare with the sony w700/w810?

once again...THANKS!!!

music wise: w810>=w700>6233
cam wise: w810>w700>=6233 (w700i's cam is slightly better than 6233)
connectivity wise: 6233>w810>w700
cost wise: w810>w700>=6233

Theres 6233 music edition available now. Read it in newpaper few days back.

yeah but that changes the cost factor. he's considering a plain 6233 here.

u r right only java appz....bus if for a gamer...its do support symbian games...which means a lot...okies..

I thnk then 6300 is far bettrer than w700

arey it doesnt support anything symbian ... not games not apps... m i clear???

Don't know how but many people seem to have got this wild idea that 6300 is a Symbian smartphone.

i'll say the w700i.the only plus point of the 6300 is its screen(and slim form factor,if u count that as well)...in every other aspect w700i wins hands down.one more option which u can have a look at is the new k550i.its even better than w700i with better sound quality and a 2mp camera and it sure looks better than both th w700i and 6300 too.its cheaper than both of them. at 9k its a very good deal

i bot a 6233 after much discussions with pathiks and infra red....and i am more thn pleased with it....

Some of my less techy guys asked why dont u go for 6300 but i saw much better specs in 6233....

The things i liked in it....

1)Great stereo speakers....argubably the best in mobiles
2)Awesome video recording--at 640*480 resolution which no cell below 30k can do......mind videos take lots of memory
3)Its 3G unlike 6300...tho we wont use thwm anyway
4)Connectivity it ahs infrared plus those in 6300...agree it is not req...
5)Great keypad....again argubably the best in mobiles...great for SMS freaks....

I also found some drawbacks in 6233 which i shud mention for a fair review...

1)Not so great looks....but my black model looks nice...no cal\mera lens cover...looks volatile to damage but i ahvent encountered any...no covers were used
2)packaging is not good....just 64 MB card and no data cable...

will update if i missd anything.....

Now its upto u to choose this or not ....if u find this at shops that is

6300 looks worst than that reliance 1500 wala fone. nokia designers have gone nutts designing such "tuccha" looking phones.phone with such cheap looks is utter shame!
Well as far as i m concerned i wud suggest u to go for 6233 by far de best fone in 9k price range.W700i is also a pretty decent fone,NO NO to 6300 it sux big time,worst battery backup,gets hot if u talk for long(8-10mins).average cam,average music player,not a symbian(i kno neither 6233 or W700i r symbian but they hav other (+) points but this fone..juz Crap)!!
MY CHOICE WUD B 6233,WHY??READ THE ABOVE POST!!

Just give me a Nokia E50 in 6300 shell & I will be more then happy

yep e50 rox.. It suits my reqs perfectly.. But it isnt a multimedia fone.. 4 multimedia go 4 6233.. 4 os9.1 go 4 e50.. 4 both get a 5700
