@anand,
I live in chennai and i dont know abt heera panna or manish market or alpha. All these i came to know from techno_funky, theraven or from u . Even Agent 007 goes to lamington road only
In chennai, 6610 costs 8k and T610 costs 8750 rs. And i thought T610 for rs. 7.5k was too low. Mobs in mumbai are cheap but T610 for 7.5k is too cheap. Ask any chennai members here, it wont cost less than 8.5k. In SE shops it costs 9.5k.
And abt SE K500i or samsung d410 , i have seen k 700i and k 500i and also s 700i , not samung. SE phones are 16-bit (2^16= 65k colors) and so is nokia 7610. There is more to just screen and screen colors.
Now have u seen nokia 9500? See it colors, it is vivid and colorful.
Abt the sucking thing, i have posted many times abt the short commings of SE phones and i can PM u them if u want. Also take a look at the nokia versus SE thread, and see abt the SE shortcommings. Leave alone me, there are many users who have posted their SE problem.

what abt NGQD, 6220, 6610i, 3220
Hey, u can get n gage qd or 6610i or 6220 for this budget ; and i dont think u can get 3220 (or atleast in chennai)
Comparing these three, u can go for
6610i or n gage QD depending upon ur needs and requirements. 6220 is not worth as 6610i is better than 6220. 3220 looks good and has EDGe and i dont think u can get it for 9k.
Try getting
7250i for around 9k, it is a symbian 40 series phone. ( even that price might be possible if u can get at mail2and's suggestion of buying in alpha or heera pani).
* n gage QD has bluetooth which 6610i doesn't has. n gage QD is almost a mobile gamming device. It has a large screen compared to 6610i and also a joystick. MMc card can be hot swapped without switching oof the phone and this too lacks in 6610i.
* 6610i has camera which n gage QD lacks. It also has Fm radio in-built .
Both are good, it all depends on ur need and wht way u want to use ur phone.
