I want to by best mobile in the budget of Rs.5000-6000/.
I preferred Nokia 3230, and Onida G620. But i have not find Nokia 3230 in market. some of them are saying it is not available in market.
My main motive is to By a symbian series 60 mobile- which is available in Nokia 3230.
Are there any other model available in this budget.

Yes you will be able to install the latest version of operamini.
You can also use it as USB modem via nokia pc suit.
It has FM but FM recording is not supported.
It's not s60 phone, it is s40

Nokia 5300 is a good choice. I am using it myself. Which service provider are u using? If u are using Airtel and will be using NOP to connect to net, visit my site(hotshot05.page.tl) and download a file without which u wont be able to surf in Opera mini with NOP. If u will be using Vodafone or BSNL or Idea GPRS or Airtel MO, u dont need to use that file.

Thanks guys for your suggestions.
@aritrap: By the way my current service provider is Idea. But thank you very much to tell me about that file. I will surely try your file in the future if i shall use Airtel.

Bro,

Add some bucks and get any symbian 3rd edition series Feature Pack 1, from nokia. It will never let you down.

If budget is your problem then I recommed to wait lil bit and manage the same.

By the way its urs choice but s60 rocks.

Even if you find Nokia 3230, do not buy it. It'll be the slowest phone you've ever used.

Hello, Now i have bought Nokia 5300 XpressMusic in 6000/-.
But as i asked here previously, opera mini in unable to install.
while try to install it gives result in the last: Connection Failed.
While its inbuilt browser is running fine. It is also working good as Usb modem with my computer.
So please help here for configuring and installing Operamini on it.
Also tell me from where i can set its proxy setting manually(service provider is Idea).

^^It's another thing that you can use only default browser.
But for me Teashark and Gmail app, both worked without any tweaking.

Is your gprs access point set as default for all apps. If no, set it as default for all applications.

^^@ThinkFree: Yes My gprs access point set as default for all apps.
@Edburg: I dont think it is a Customer care problem. Because the same SIM card when i uses with My Sony Ericsson k310i, oera Mini and all internet related are working fine.
But here i am unable to understand Why Opera mini or any internet related application are refuses to run on Nokia.
When default browser is able to detect internet, what is the problem with operaMini?
Please Give Your suggesions to solve this problem!

Onida is a new company in mobile area so nokia is a safer bet.However homeshop18 is giving good discounts on onida phones and i personaly liked onida G640 price and feature wise.

No it is not the problem of the service provide , in network settings for java applications remember to fill the APN address bar . For airtel mobile office the apn is airtelgprs.com
Now you can use net through java applications also .
