six two tree tree.

among nokia 6233 and se k750 i , which is better and why ???

6233. Because its a Nokia. And the K750i is a SE.

^^as my friend has already mentioned..just changed the rankings...K750 best coz its an SE,has the best camera,has the best osound quality...cheers...

ok , I am thinking of nokia 3500c and Nokia 6233. Any drawbacks of these two ??? I will try going for 6233 if I could stretch my budget by 2k in 1 week or so.

Don't even think of 6300. It's worst phone ever made by Nokia. Battery struggles to stay for a single day and after few weeks, you have to charge it atleast twice a day. Pathetic signal quality. pathetic call quality pathetic battery life. It's not even worth a rupee.

And the problem is not for one or two individuals. It's for everyone that bought this phone. Moreover, the phone gets really hot after 10 minutes of call time.

6233 is thousand times better than 6300.

you can go for k550i. its camera is great and all other features are great
music is superb with handsfree but very poor with speakers comparing to other mobiles
but i think 6233 satisfies all your requirements. yup desibond is 100% right 6233 is 1000 times better than 6300.

One more reason to get the 6233: It sounds eco friendly.. six two tree tree. (See 2 trees )

I was not aware of that.. one of my friend owns this phone and there was no probs so i suggested..

Get 6233.
Don't bother to go for 6300, it has a host of problems.
If you plan to take SE K550i, then do prepare to mod it or else it's no fun.

it means that u can convert ur k550i to w610i.. this is possible thru firmware hacking.. since hardware of both the fones is the same..

i suggest u look for SE models.. more specifically walkman models.. u get all the features u mentioned in w610/k550/k790.. and since SE phones r highly "moddable", u can add custom made acoustics which to my ears sounds better than ne nokia phone that ever existed..!! u can also do a 1000 more tweaks.. just check out infra_red_dude's tutorial in this forum..


and i m an audiophile too .. got w890 recently.. rocks my ears off!!

What everyone has said about the 6300 is absolutely correct. It has a pathetic battery !! Don't even consider it.

Just bought the 3500 couple of days ago.. seems gud so far.. but it's not exactly a music phone.. i think the 6233 will be better.. i was told the sound quality was even better than similarly priced sony erricson phones..

Just got my mum a K530i. Its a good phone for the price it retails (about 7.6k). Has a 2mp cam (sans autofocus), 3G (since its 3g it comes with a secondary front VGA cam, which is perceive is of no use till 3G comes to india), 512MB M2 mem. card, plus for if the dealer agrees you can get the bundled headset exchanged with the walkman ones (which are in-ear noise cancellation buds with a stereo jack which let you plugin any speakers, otherwise its just a 300-odd bucks extra purchase). If you are not a hardcore photographing freak I guess this is a good phone. Pretty much satisfied with the performance.

If you want Sony Cybershot branded phone you can go in for K550i. The only difference is that K550i has EDGE GPRS instead of 3G. K530i can be converted into W660i and K550i can be converted into W610i thru software modding since basically the underlying hardware is absolutely same. Since the hardware is same whether you convert the K series phone to W series or not, the sound quality is same in both - W series.

hey flash that k530 to w660 now !!!!!!!

Would've if it was in my hands. My mum uses it and I would be here only for the next 2 months. So if she ever needs to take to SE care then it has to be flashed back to K530i which obv. she wouldn't bother. Hence I've kept it in its original form

The only thing it lacks is the Megabass EQ. I've got her HPM70 and there is nothing she needs from W660i, not interested in walkman 2.0, album art and all. This phone has TrackID and works awesome. So as of now I don't see any need to flash it to W660i. Had it been mine I would've done it the day I got the phone

of course 6233, my friend purchased it 2 weeks ago, its now around 7k

used k750i ..have 6233 now .. i would say get k750i if camera and music is important ..simply awesome phone for its price ..

never think of K550I again

that phone is a big flop

have you seen it's camera quality my CHINESE MP5 having 2 MP takes better pictures then it

JUST 6233 i was buying only when my budget was matching yours

^^^ya, i also read on some website, that k550i camera is not so good, but the phone is quite ok

used k550i a bit . its camera is nowhere near k750i .. but could be better than 6233 ones

The internal memory of 6233 is just 6 MB. Will I get any Memory Card with it or I will have to shell extra bucks for it. Also, any specific advantage of 6233 over 3500c, coz the price difference is of about 2 k ????

My friend got it with 128 MB card, this is not enough i think. 6233 has a lot better than 3500.
1. 3G, futureproof
2. Big screen, 240X320
3. 3D STEREO surround speaker
4. Long long battery backup

Hi , Thanx to all your replies. As most of u suggested, I bought Nokia 6233 today. Looks good till now. It has 128 MB card , which is definitely not enough. I know its expandable but upto 1 GB or 2 GB ??? on their site itself , they have mentioned 1 GB on one link and 2 GB on another.

Can someone please confirm ???? Also , I will need a datacable ( for USB connectivity ) , can u please tell the brand , model number and approx price for that datacable also(I thought it will come bundled with phone). Also the price of 1 GB / 2 GB kingston micro SD card. please reply guys...

2gb card would work perfectly. Also instead of bothering with data cable, get a card reader. It would be several times faster at transferring data to the card than the data cable.

And 400 bucks.

@pathik , 400 bucks for what ??? data cable or memory card( 1 GB/2 GB)????
@krazzy , how can u be so sure that 2 GB will be supported ??? and whats the cost of card reader ????
I think My lappy Dell 1520 have some card reader, will that do ???

@Phenom - Rs.400 is for 1 GB memory card and not for the data cable.
Yup the laptop card reader will do fine.

BTW you can get a card reader for Rs.150.

hmm

if i remember correctly i got a usb data cable for around Rs. 175.
that was around a year ago.

Thanx guys. I bought Kingston 2 GB mSD for just Rs. 450 and I used its SD adapter and loaded it via my laptop. I m loving it. thanx guys.
