Please suggest a phone

K

Hi Guys,
I need a phone with following requirements (in no particular order)

1) Should be light weight and slim.
2) Address book should have photo recall.
3) VGA camera (at least) for requirement 2.
4) Good battery life.
5) I would like to install an answering machine so should be java enabled.
6) Expandable memory so that calls could be recorded by answering machine.
7) Within 7k lesser the better.

Nokia 6300 fits the requirements except for very poor battery life.

Appreciate any recommendations.
Thanks in advance.

5220 Xpress music

Get a sony ericsson G502.

Don't even think about 6300. Check out 5220XM, SE G502

I would suggest you for nokia n95, n96 or SE xperia x1 but not in 7k.

Nokia Supernova.

most of them that dont require motion sensor will work ... but u mite not be able to play em full screen on g502 because of the difference in screen size

f305 : 176*220
g502 : 240*320

@kkdeep , g502 and 5220xm are slightly over 7k ... if u need it under 7k , try w350 ... also w302 ...

supernova..sleek n stylish!

where the hell is thread starter??

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the replies. I am sorry for late reply. I could not login for many days.

G502 : Looks like a descent handset to me. I enquired about it @ a shop in Commercial street Bangalore. It was out of stock. They said it is a flop handset. I will check up at couple of other places tomorrow.

Nokia XM 5220: I was told that the handset is discontinued. He tried to sell me higher model which was out of budget.

I was suggested the Nokia supernova 7210 (Rs 5700). Everything on the spec sheet looked fine except battery life (2 hr talk time). A google search confirmed my worst fear. This phone is also rejected like Nokia 6300.

F305: Did not like the slider mechanism. More interested in the candbar design.

Nokia N95, N96 : Out of budget.

Thanks for all the replies. I will update after i enquire couple of more places.

^^Also check Samsung L700-Large screen, 2mp camera with flash, 3g, 3.3 hrs talktime

The G502 is not a flop handset.
I would second the G502.

PLUSSES:
* A200 interface
* Brilliant screen
* Good battery life
* 3g ready + HSPDA
* Looks Good (Highly subjective)
* Decent to good sound

MINUSSES
* Small speakers, low volume.
* Headphone port comes loose (This is a problem with all SE phones)
* Camera not the best. You will get high ISO noise at night. Brilliant photos by day though.

hey , why dont u try the SE s302 or w302 ... fits all ur needs .... under 7k ... and pl don't listen to these unscruplous salesmen who blabber just rubbish ... go to a decent mobile store ... they stock all fones ... neither 5220 nor g502 have been stopped or are flops ... but try the s302 ... i'm sure u'll like thunder grey colour ... it looks like the w880

I would suggest G502 because of the higher 240*320 resolution compared to W302.

As far as G502 is 'a flop phone' is concerned, Nokia 5220 which was released 1.5 months later than G502 has been discontinued. (as told by you) You can probably guess which is better.

Moreover, G502 is the cheapest 3.5G i.e. HSDPA phone which Nokia 5220 lacks.

Everyone has the freedom of choice, but not budget. :lol:

Thanks for the help guys. I am picking up the G502. I am getting it for 7800 + 512MB card at Mobile store. A bit over my budget, But i will stretch that much. Is it a good deal.

-Thanks

I find mobile store to offer good deals.. There is no bargaining.. No service charges for credit cards.. I overall like the service there.. I bought an SE T700 few days ago.. They didn't have the stock.. Wavetel was offering the phone for Rs.39 lesser but I chose to stick with mobile store.. When I said I want it right now, I was asked to wait for 15 mins, and they called up all the nearby branches, and went and picked it up for me and was billed in 20 mins..
