Plz suggest phone in 15k-20k range!!

M

Hi guys i wanna upgrade my phone from n70 to better nokia phone. my requirements are everything better than n70/n73.I need good music quality than n70/73 both in speakers and in earphones..How is 5800 as music phone??plz suggest only nokia phones..Thanks..

T

5800 is excellent as music phone. One of the best in market. But i think the camera is big letdown.

You can go for n79 , really nice phone with great sound quality and very good camera.

M

ok thanks for reply buddy ,my first criteria was good music in fone which i had in my se k750i..second criteria is good connectivity options like gprs,edge,wifi,3g..i hope it has good camera than 2mp of n70 and k750i!

M

5800XM ..dont think much

K

buy the 5800 if u can live wid the 3mp cam ... if cam is a very high priority, only the go for the n79

though nokia 5800 is gud
also check SE c903 its great phone to have

V

Dude..Go get a 5800XM...Price now reduced to 14.2k and they give a Sennheiser headphone along wid it...It can get cooler dan dis...I gt myself one last Sunday...

Hope 2 c u soon n d Xpress Muzik family soon :razz:

M

thanks guys for info ,cam is not my first priority. how is ui of 5800?i hope its faster than n70 which was disappointingly slow.

5800 Express is no doubt gr8 choice for the price. Not to mention the loads of software availability! As for UI, yes indeed its faster than N70.
However, do consider Samsung Jet too. Beats 5800 hands down. Its just, the proprietary OS, which might change the thoughts.

T

5800 since v21 firmware is not at all slow . At least when compared to other touchscreen phones . I am on v30 firmware and its already fast enough for me. I read that v31 is much faster but i havenot updated mine yes. 5800 cant even be compared with n70.

As i have said already , if camera is not your first priority then its a great phone. Web , video and music is unmatched on this device.

M

thanks guys for replies once again. just one last querry how is web browsing experience and being sms junkie how good is it at typing? @ mayank i know sammy & lg make better touchscreen phone but they fail to impress me! btw thanks for suggestion!

Wait for the Aino and go for it.It will probably sell for around 21k. It has a sapacitive touchscreen + a normal keypad with an 8 mp camera and ps3 integration.Phew!!Also it comes bundled with a charging stand and a bluetooth headset which also plays the radio.

K

^ aino would only cost 21k ?? wow, thats a great price for that fone.. where did u get the price though ? any idea bout india release date ?

How can you guys compare 5800 with N70? N70 is ancient now.

The proprietary OS is just what may keep fans from getting a Samsung Jet other than that it pawns the Nokia 5800XM.

M

HI guys if jet has software to hide my sms ,video clips then i m going to get it. i am very knotty guy ;-)

@Sam9s,
Hey Hii Sam bhai. Bas i am gr8! Long time yaar.
And yeah gone are those days, when Nokia/Ericsson/Motorolla were the only mobile leaders. Today, HTC, Samsung and LG mobiles pack awesome technology. And that doesn't end there. Each of them have brought up their respective customer services to newer dimensions. People these days aren't anymore brand conscious. They go with the set which fulfill their needs and requirements.
And ohh i purchased an Omnia GT-i8910HD 16GB! Was thinkin for an Apple iphone 3GS. But the freakin' thing costs a fortune and still doesn't have a descent camera!

On the other hand i got i8910HD for 25.7K! Nice naa ?

^ though Samsung jet's Xcellent product but dont know y personally i dont really like touch screens u cant send sms as just as other mobiles
and about E75 xcellent mobile yaar
hav xperienced it on a nokia Display though keys are not so comfortable but xcellent phone to have

I too don't feel comfortable using a touchscreen phone. I would prefer a full qwerty keypad over touchscreen. Even those miniature qwerty keypad's in E-Series are fine for me.

M

guys pls let me know is there any software to hide my private sms,songs,videos?is the touchscreen too bad for typing sms and web browsing!

mandar5 said:

for which fone ? nokia (symbian) s40 ,etc.. which one ?

Click to expand...

browsing is xcellent on touch fones as long as u hav opera mini (yeah browsing is xcellent on touch fones)
but about sms'ing and emailing i dont feel comfartable(nor do many )

M

oh boy these are my top priority as i am sms junkie and also heavy google searcher. :-o

SEEMS have to look at some other options like n82,n95!

T

I am using 5800 for 8 months and i will always prefer keypad phones for texting . Yes , landscape qwerty with haptics helps a lot in 5800 , but still nothing can touch a good keypad like n95/86/ e51. If you're an sms junkie you'll hate the fact that you have to look and concentrate at the phone while typing.

Regarding browsing , both have advantages and disadvantages. 5800's high res screen coupled with great browser look great for many sites . But lack of keys means scrolling long pages can be very tiresome. Imaging sweeping your screen continiously to scroll large pages like mobile-review.com reviews .On the other hand n95's keys means you just need to press once perform page up/down .on the other hand qvga scrreen in n95 means that you get to see less of the page and dont get that 'desktop experience' .If you're casual browser who browse for like 15-20mins a day from mobile you'll probably like touchscreen more , but if cellphone is your primary browsing device , you may actually get tired by browsing on touchscreen.

Yea been busy in the last couple of months. Missed my thinkdigit. Congratts on Omnia bhai, that is another rocking product. Even I am looking for a high end phone these days. I am considering E75 and Jet. Jet looks really cool on featurs, but the only thing I am missing in Jet is the exchange support. E75 has got a rocking e mail and messaging support while is quite missing in Jet. But jet is georgious looking phone with amazing screen resolution and sharpness..... what do you suggest....any other suggestions??

Thanks bhai.

See, if you can, then go for Omnia HD. Complete bang for the bucks bhai! You'll see.
And yes, Nokia Email Exchange is the best out there. Why? Becoz it works flawlessly. Plus, it supports, MS ActiveSync. Plus, it supports Blackberry clients too. All in all, one of the best for Email/Texting online.
If u want i can suggest few WinMo devices from Samsung(Omnia PRo)/HTC(Touch Pro).

Yea. Aino's price worldwise is less than the W995 on release.So it will be less than W995 which was released at 23k in India. Judging by the market state now,it will be around 21k. Well, i have the jet, would recommend it only to people who want a no frills touchscreen for showoff. Pathetic audio quality,pathetic camera, laggy after a month of usage. Anyways, i am selling mine off. But, a good first touchscreen phone and definately better than the 5800 or Nokia's offerings.

M

which one is better for audio quality and smsing -n82/n95?

but dreamcatcher OmniaHD is selling for 25-27k.....how will aino,n86 or w995 could sustain which are 21-25k
I mean omniaHD is a direct competitor to Satio...isnt it

25k?
Here its available for 32. Are you sure?

mayanksharma just told us in this thread that he got it for 25.7k and my shopkeeper quoted price of 26.8k

@sam9s,
Nokia E72, Nokia E75, Samsung B7330 OmniaPRO, HTC Magic should be your options bhai!
My recommendation would be HTC Magic. But, it didn't pack a qwerty board and 3G. Apart from these, it pack things you require. Instead you can always look on OmniaPRO!!

R

Hey Mayank,

Howz E72, Worth Buying...

I need a business phone with gud browsing & GPS facility...

Please advice.

@rupz,
Yep! Both E72 and E75 are excellent choices with Business class category features.

@sam9s,
Sam Bhai! I am so sorry for not replying on the same day.

I was too busy doing some work on my car. I'll make sure this time i call you if anything comes up instead. Would that be ok?
and btw, i suggested E75 too. Didn't I? Congratulations for the new phone.

And yeah, even i am planning to hack my i8910HD someday! hehe..

Thanks Mayank !!!!

Appreciate it. 1 last query: I have gone through a various sites for the performance & user reviews about E72, It is all good that is written on all the sites, I am not trying to find a fault in the phone, its just that I wanted to know if there are any downs on the phone or any feature that is not good. So that before I make up my mind & have the E72 in my hands, I should be aware of the shortcomming (if any) & it should not come as a shock :shock:

to me post buying that...

Looking forward to your response...

Well, i dont have it, so cant comment on it. But i've E50! So, i can comment on E-class phones. Extremely versatile and flexible for business class functionality / usability.
The only disadvantage i could think of is that " Its Not A Multimedia Device!"

sam9s said:
Yea you can call me, no issues. Yes you suggested E75, but I was hoping to have some more choice in the same league, any way E75 is a good phone, however Symbain OS is not what I expected, good third party applications but its interphase is non friendly and very confusing, even for a geek freak its not what it should be. That is why the iPhone OS still rocks and is sill at the top despite of not having some basic features.

See, there could've been more choices. But, they would become choices in front of Nokia E75! And you already opted for it anyway.

And yeah...release 3.2UI has quite fishy interface. iPhone OS on the other hand has the best interface and features than any other in the market.

dear vik dont go for samsung beat dj,it looks cool n all,music capability is ok,but that is it,you will hate everything else about it,all those dj console etc. are pure crap,go for xm 5800,superb value for money,i traded my n96 for this with my brother,n i am very happy with it,another good option is samsung jet.

P

@ red dragon
5800 xpressmusic is a good option but i am stuck on a apps on this phone i am using fring and its show error-204 all the time when i open.....

D

@pawankhanna
i just go through with Nimbuzz apps maybe you have this apps in your phone or u want to use this apps It's a breeze to use Nimbuzz on N97... gives you access to messengers such as Skype, Windows live messenger, Facebook, My Space and others. the part i like the most is that in can use it in landscape mode. it's available for free on nokia's ovi store.

but its said that U.I of 5800XM is sluggish and not user friendly??

UI is not at all sluggish in 5800...its as smooth...just that its not much user friendly..
u will easily get used to single and double clicks....just there r very less shortcuts on homescreen which irritates me

@Vik.1912,
no bro. it is not sluggish any more,after f.w v 20,it freed up some ram,now its snappy,only 2 problems persist still.
1.no kinetic scrolling yet.
3.and as sujoy has said,very few home screen shortcuts
Moreover you can hack the phone very easily n solve probs with certificate error.oh!one more thing it does not support divx out of box.

n 95 is the best alternative for n 82,its price has dropped considerably,only problem is the woobly slider.

M

WHICH version 8gb or original?whats price of 8gb version and the difference between two?

Get the N95 8GB version. Its better than the older 4GB one.

mandar5 said:

Don't know the exact price but it is around Rs.19K.

N79 - good cam, gaming, good pricing......small screen
N82 - best cam, good gamin on graphic card.....small screen and wont find it now
5800 - big clear screen for movies....less games...poor cam

go for N79..u may consider reading my post regarding the N79 band 5800...
