I'm looking at buying a phone with good camera, media player, FM Radio, Speakerphone with Mute function and can be used across the globe (GSM - Tri or Quad Band??)

Can those who have Nokia N series (N70 / N90 / N91) or SE K750i or some other better model provide your feedback and suggestions on buying that model?

It's got to be a good value for money...

PS: Had posted this earlier in the Reviews section but I think this is the better place for this thread to be. So, posting it again :-()

w810i is a very kool option....u need to tell us ur needs....n series n SE series r totally different thing...as per u said...good camera, speaker, media, fm can all go wit SE at better price like k750i, w700i, w810i, k800i (3mp) etc. N series come at higher range wit other facilities but aint got cam n sound quality like se....so take ur decision

as for value for money...i suggest SE W810i (walkman fone)

cheers

Bro it depends on how much can you spend If you can afford N91 I think you should also look at some Windows Mobile based fones too

810i is good. and there is a big price diff between that n70 & n91

If you can afford .. N91 is a good buy

n91 completely rules the roster. Come to ur senses,guys, it's got a 4 GB hard driveWi-Fi, 2mp camera, supports multiple audio formats, and has the best audio quality in the market. It also records videos in MPEG4,H.263 AND Real Vido8 formats. NOW, WHOM DO U VOTE FOR?

Guys -- Appreciate all your responses...

I have finally settled for N70-1...

I didn't prefer SE550 as it's not extendible.
I didn't prefer 810i as the digit review in Jun '06 issue stated that it's a good walkman phone - but felt on other features, N70 seems to be better.
I didn't go for N91, as the price is still slightly on the higher side -- and a clarification -- it DOESN"T COME WITH A BOSE HEADPHONE - though it's only a marketing gimmick.. You may need to buy Bose as an accessory, if you want.

That way N70 seems to be very good and now am happy with my decision !

(Though there were few glitches initially mainly due to the inadequate info in the manuals).

good choice SGS 001....just 10 days back u cud call me a SE fanatic..although still i'm but i've realized that nokia N series is also good specially the N70....its a very practical phone, not oversized like other phones of the N series and it also looks very stylish....overall its a very handy and durable smartphone.....good for me coz i hate huge phones

now i was in dilemma coz i wanted a phone with whole load of features, big screen and excellent sound quality and camera...i had SE W810i in my mind and it definately offers very good camera and sound quality but it looses on smartphone features and small screen...now i know and understand this kind of situation coz i currently own SE K700i and it has a decent camera and sound but i cant install apps on this phone and when i checked out nokia phones of my friends i knew what i was missing.....it is then i decided that i'll go for a smartphone with excellent camera and sound quality....

i decided for these 4 phones...
1. SE P990i.....dunno when its gonna release, it gets delayed all the time...anyways i probably will not go for this phone as this is huge in size and misses "mega bass" and "stereo expansion of walkman series but still this is under consideration...
2. SE W950i....i'm so disappointed that this phone has no camera otherwise i wud have gone with this phone coz it has every other thing i need
3. Nokia N91....is a smartphone and offers excellent sound quality and good camera but again its very huge and expensive
4. Nokia N70...has a very compact and stylish design..smartphone with very good camera and decent sound quality....so overall this phone is a slightly better option for my needs....
and for music i've decided to go for i-pod nano....coz i know i wont be fully satisfied with N70 music performance....but i really need a smartphone

any suggestion guys...?

ENjoy...

i think SE K790/800 has a better camera than N80 but than its not a smartphone...:( but i agree that currently N80 is the smartphone with the best camera....but N80 is like a brick, heavy and huge...and also expensive...

ENjoy...

Correct me if I am wrong, but w700i also lacks Autofocus which w800i had

no SE k800i is not yet in the indian market, infact most probably k790i will be released in india(or asia) and not k800i, read it on some website...

but i guess k790i/800i lacks "mega bass" which is bad coz even k750i has it...

yes, but that results in lesser waiting period between clicks.

SE u totally suck with those sick phones
hello even w800...and w810....and even k750i can use bose head phones....if u get a better headphones than bose...even that also u can use.....
why??? it has that jack connection to it...
ok let me say....given the price...w800 and 810 comes with the superb head phones..???
have u ever heard in that...??????
it sticks into the ears and can also give a ipod a competition....

and for the hdd drive...as one of the members here mentioned...HDD has moving parts and easy to get damaged....if u drop it ...
more over all the nokia are big fat things and carrying them itself needs a seperate excercise daily.....

GO FOR W810 i
