e50 is the cheapest smart phone available, though you can not edit documents (word, excel, ppt, pdf), it can read them.
Price Rs. 10,200.

Hello Friends,

Thanks for ur suggestions.

Personallly i like Motoming very much but this is not in my budget and E50 is a good feature rich phone, but i have heard some where that Hardware quality of this phone is not good and Font size is also very very small.

So guys do u have any other option except this. BTW E50 without camera is available in India or not can u confirm me ??

Thanks

Wait for the iPhone to release here. It is the best.

Even though you may not be able to pay the $499 price, other smart phones will probably drop their prices.

Be fair and wait till iPhone arrives here, and then make your decision.

$499 for locked phones with two years contract and unlocked version is expected to be around $599. That is approximately Rs. 26300, this is US price, Indian prices will be much higher. More over even in US the phone is going to be available only around June 2007 for sales. Apple is planning to introduce this phone in asian market only in the year 2008, may be second or third qurter.
Do you think its worth waiting for a phone so long? :shock: :shock: :shock:
almost all the functions claimed by the apple to be available in the iphone is already available in smartphones.
Think about the smart phones going to be introduced in the year 2008, may be they will be way ahead of iphone.

^^^price will be come down when 3G will start in india, but no one know when it will, read somewhere that then minimum 3G supported phone will be available in 5k... wait for those time :p :p

BTW 3230 and 6600 is the lowest available samrtphone in the market, but its not recommended for such work....:( take E50

what is that iphone has to do with introduction of 3g in India?
I don't get your point, how iphones price will come down if the 3g is introduced in India?

Friends thanks for ur suggestion.

I think E50 will suit me.
But i didnot need camera so i dont want to pay for it.
Do u know without camera is available or not in India, if yes then where i lives in Gurgaon and what it will cost around.


Thanks
