I want to buy a mobile with
wifi
atleast 3.2 MP camera
Must be a music phone
3.5mm jack for headphones.
3G NOT a must.
Touch phone NOT a must.

Should i buy 5530 @ 14k or is there any phone better than this below this price??
any brand will do.

if you can go till 18k, Samsung Jet should be the ideal one.

also, 5800XM is not avialable for some 13.5k, which is better deal thatn 5530XM.

if you can spend 4k more then Samsung Jet will be the best, if you don't care about looks then 5800 or else 5530 is also fine, but I heard that Camera quality for both 5800 and 5530 is not very good.

you might tilt towards SE phone now if you watch that ad :)

Put your ears in control. motion sensing earphones.

Remove both earphones from ears: music stops
remove one or connect one when you get a call on phone: call gets connected
put on both: music starts.

first of all i dont think 5530 is yet avilable in india so if you want to buy this you will have to wait atleast 2-3 weeks and secondly 5800 is now availble at 13.3k and is much feature rich than 5530 at same price.
you can also have a look at n79 which sells at 14.5k

Go for 5800XM. See if the older stock is still available with TV Out, stand, pouch, etc which are missing in newer stock and see if it comes to you at 13.5K.

IF YES, BUY IT.

IF NO, wait till 5530XM releases. It could also come at 10K, given that compared to 5800XM it has a smaller screen, lacks physical buttons, lacks GPS and lacks 3G. If instead it comes at the current expected price of 13K, just grab a 5800XM.
