What would u suggest if the preference is SE,budget is <16k(u can suggest a little around it too)
requirements:
3+ MP cam
good music
wi-fi( that would be nice)(EDIT: you can exclude this feature)
No touch screen (otherwise i would have suggested my awesome P1i itself)

Suggest Nokia if only its a performer like N 82 otherwise,all Nokia fanboyz speaking every blah blah N series s60 3rd edition is super duper fast or that Nokia has improved,please don bother to answer. Coz i cant afford wrong suggestions here
Hint: Phone should be girlish(not for my gf but someone very imp),preferably (or not bulky)

Get a Nokia n78. The price sould come down to 16k in a couple of weeks. But N82 is the best choice.

Budget is 16k and phone will be bought within two-three days...so cant wait for 2 weeks.:(

Get the W890..doesnt have wifi...but the sleekest set you will find...is 9 mm thick...get the mocha version or the expresso black..has a class look to it...

and its a walkman too..so great music as usual..

yea rite...are you an analyst???show me the stats then...n82 started with 25k and came down to 19k..the k850 started from 21 and there is reason enough for the prices to fall..more so because there are two new 5 mp SE phones in the market...so cut the crap..

more than 70% of the replies favouring k850. you were the only one blabbering about your cybershit.

yea rite..the forum is the world to you...i daresay that half the people jumping about the n82 havent used it..and those who were blabbering bout the k850 havent touched it either...get out of this forum and chek out the the world sales...

Nokia rules for sure in market share..but k850 is much ahead of the N82 in terms of market share...

The Swedish manufacturer of carrying cases for portable electronics, Krusell, has released their "Top 10"-list for March 2008. The list is based upon the number of pieces of model specific mobile and smart phone cases that have been ordered from Krusell during March 2008. Krusell's list is unique due to the fact that it reflects the sales of phones on six continents and in more than 50 countries around the globe.

CHECK OUT BEFORE POSTING CRAP LINKS

THIS IS
Krusell - Top-10 Selling Mobile Phones in March 2008

NOT
Top-10 Selling Mobile Phones in March 2008

and that list is not that unique as it is specified ( now i will give you the reason why in my next post let my US freind come online ) + that post is posted by a paid poster :p
yea rite ..even ur n73 beats the k850...in the pic section I see the k800 beating you hands down..beat those pics first and then compare...

check out my post i said except the cam and the speed. btw K800 has got a better cam than that K850I

@krates-do you go roaming round the shops of kanpur ,delhi and lucknow to check if K850 sells less??..please..gimme a break..

the place where i live is surrounded by mobile shops ask any relatives of yours if he lives in kanpur i live near phoolbagh

btw many of my neighbors work in some of those shops. that is why i have access to many of the mobile phones

i think this is enough :p

When the price was 20k, you guys said that the phone was overpriced. Now, when it's 16k, you say that "they had to do something to boost the sales".

I remember very well that in the thread - *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88917 someone had replied that if K850i was priced around 16k then it would be a great buy.

I fail to understand why you all always get after the negative points.
Yes, N82 is a better phone. No doubt on that !!!

But, K850i has it's own merits.
I find it very attractive.
Secondly, have you heard it's sound yourself ??
Do check it out yourself before posting any comments.

@girish-have you been payed by nokia to bad mouth the k850??..if they have then they should have taught you some etiquette too..
Exactly !!!

^^^ dude because the phone is without bill priced at 16k

the cheapest price of this phone i can find on ebay is

18,499.00

*search.ebay.in/k850i_W0QQdfspZ1QQfromZR40QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ10QQsbrsrtZd

and now don't come up with used mobile links which are priced 15k

if you buy n82 without bill it will also be priced like that

so please !!!

Jun 6, 2008 at 7:37 PM
Don't talk when you are unaware of things !!!

I never even think of buying a used cell or a cell without bill.

And as far as the price is concerned, K850i (with bill) is available for Rs. 16150 /-
Check this link: *www.futurebazaar.com/b2c_futurebazaar/catalog/zupdateItems.do

I hope I've made myself clear !

see they have said that

MRP : Rs. 20995
Price : Rs. 16150
Save Rs. 4845 (23%)


they are giving discount.

but it is good they are giving a huge discount

Jun 6, 2008 at 7:51 PM
and please you also don't post faltoo things
faltoo things ????

ru mad or something ???

1st u didn't believe that K850i was available for Rs. 16.1K. Now, you say that it's after discount.
Well, I only know that one has to pay 16.1k to get the phone. Thats it !!!

And secondly, most of the online sites quote the price of the phones(or anything) higher than the market price and then give a discount to attract the consumers.

I don't find anything wrong in that.

It's the price that you ultimately pay that matters. And in this case it Rs. 16150 /-
