Suggest a phone ~7K · DIGIT-ARC

I am currently using the k700i. I want to get a new phone, nothing too fancy. It has to have the following as a bare minimum:
> GPRS
> a camera [a decent one]
> FM radio
> bluetooth
> java support
> expandible memory
I dont care too much for "super good music playback", just functional is fine.
The camera has produce decent pics.
My budget is around 7K.

Please suggest a good replacement for my trusty K700.

-thanks

my order of brand pref: sony>siemens>lg>nokia>samsung
note motorola totally ruled OUT.

how about k550i ?? it cost 8.5k best phone in that budget..!

SE K750i
Best for ur budget..price 7.5K

^^^ +1, agree. k750i is the best you can get at that price. however, it lacks edge.

+1 for K750i
OR
5500 have all features+Symbian, but have some confusion with its price, somewhere its 7.2k only,
OR
Nokia 5300, have all features, but its slide phone, some persons dont like its design and colors, price around 7k

Thanks for your replies.

I saw some nokia phones support flash. i really dont remember the model numbers. does any one know which phones these are?
I think it was the 6300. How much does it cost?

What do you think i should get for my phone if i hand it in to the dealer. [one guy offered me 1K, but I think I should be getting atleast 2K]

ps: i dont mind sliders if they are sturdy
pps: EDGE is sorta-a-kinda important but i can bypass it.

sell it here on the forum it shud go for moore
i frnds want's it i think i wud consult him and reply to u soon

SE k750i,Nokia 5300,SE K550i.All of them are good.Don't go for the nokia 6300,it has some problems.

^^
which probs are you talking about..

see this 6300 youtube video

its actually a superb phone.

6233 is anyday better than 6300 except for the display...
and it isnt 7k neways...
get the k750i or a 5500..

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=-1]I am seriously considering the 6300, or the k550/750

[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=-1]What problems (if at all) does the 6300 have?
[/SIZE][/FONT]

I will suggest you K550i, if money is problem than k750i

The 6300 has serious battery issues.. Also the speakers on it arent very good.. Rather get the 6233.

6300 heats up like hell! btw, 6233 is not available for 7k! Its more than that.

how is L9? my brother wants to go for this mode. he doesnot want any SE models :shock:

,
Primary Use: Heavy phone calls. need large phone book. budget 7K-8K Max. he has already broken many phones (I guess 6 till now) so doesnt want to invest more

.. he broke his samsung E250 last month

6233 is avialable at rs.7800 only

Charan-Nokia 6233 for ur bro.This is a tough phone & has all features ur bro wants & also do not want.

Why didn't anyone suggest the Nokia 3110 classic? It is 5800 in Mobile Store. And has all of the above. Not very decent music playing capabilities though. Anyway you've mentioned that's not a deciding factor.

Thats coz it lacks in these departments:

> a camera [a decent one]
> expandible memory

About expandable memory, check the forums. Many people are facing a lot of problems with larger memory cards. Dunno if its a firmware issue or not.

ok 6233 .. let me look at it , BTW he has his eyes on moto Z3 now

, how is that phone?

z3 is also good...
btw wats ur budget charan???
if it goes to 11k then get the rokr e6.. or the 5700..

pathiks-He wants a tough phone for his bro in 7k-8k with large phonebook. charan-z3 is good.Also look for samsung e250.

k i didnt see his budget... and yea go for a 6233...

Today My bro got L9 Rs. 7750 Inclusive of all taxes. We checked out Z3 and 6233, 6233 was very bulky so we droped the idea. Next Z3, dont know what was wrong Z3 but both me and my bro didnot like it, and both of us were impressed with L9 so he bought it.

@Cool G5 .. my brother had broken his samsung E250 so this is its replacement
