if u r in hurry then pls dont see the post now but do return here when u r free. i want a cool reply...solving my all problems step wise.
u can copy this post in urr PC and reply it later also.

I want to buy a mobile of SE or Nokia, none other than these two
my needs.(Why cant we assemble mobiles?)
1. no need of good looks
2. must have a good battery life.
3. it should have min. of 64 Mb memory card.
3. it should be able to play music files.(audio and video both)
but no need of very high quality..a normal quality may be OK.
(for both audio and video)coz i am not much interested in quality of music, just want to hear for time pass.
4. It should have camera. of normal quality like nokia6600 will work.
5. It should provide GPRS facility..
(I even heard abt EDGE what is that..will I need it for my following needs?)
6. I want to use this mobile in college to use internet by connecting it with my laptop through bluetooth.
7. So it should have Blue tooth facilty.
8. anything else required for internet connectivity should also be there
9. an OK browsing speed will work, i will not browse through my mobile but through my laptop only.
10. So my main purpose is internet and a good quality(a bi.....t fast) connection will be Ok at the cost of Camera or Sound quality.
11. Also suggest me proper bluetooth device(if have to use it for my PC and not my Laptop)
12.My budget is 10000Rs excluding the cost of Bluetooth device

want to ask anthing more i forgot to mention plz ask.

No hurry...a systematic and detailed reply will be most welcomed.
Just keep in mind that i am buying this mobile so that i can use net through it.

lol he didn't do a good job of explanation or he only has half knowledge.
Simply put, Nokia 6630 is a symbian phone. There are a lot of viruses (harmful softwares to be more precise) around for a symbian phone. So, you need to be careful. Now, SE K750i is not a symbian phone, it uses proprietory sony OS, there aren't any viruses AFAIK for it so you are more secure.

K750i is a dumb java phone.. and java phones are'nt infected by virus...
N6630 is a smartphone, its like computer... be a little careful while installing softwares, turn on bluetooth only when required,, and ur phone wud be virus free......
Advantage of K750i is that it has an excellent camera,, but u said

so N6630 must'nt be a prob... and btw 6630's camera is also quiet good....

Ok...So..Some told..never ever try for nokia and some tell its the best...

Well For protection I get that K750i is best but its so if i dont download softwares na...
But i am buying my mob to surf net and not to download any mobile softwares...Now say will it affect my phone..

Another thing some told use Bluetooth when necessary..Well If I'll connect net It will be On for Longer time..So what shall I do...

Now I decided to buy..Nokia 6630..bcoz of EDGE+3G , a future phone...

But still Edge=Advanced GPRS....does some one have a proper link or explanation about "3g"..As I shoud know b4 Buying the phone

I told this because in public places there is quite a chance to get attacked by viruses like cabir and comwarrior which spread via bluetooth....
anyways dont panic, symbian is not all that vulnerable..
if a virus tries to enter ur phone, a message will come that xxxx is trying to send something... and its upto u, whether u wanna accept it or reject it..
and virus only attacks when u'll install that recieved file....

afaik there's a minute chance to get attacked by virus if u connect to internet via gprs... then also why to take chances.. keep an antivirus handy.

Regarding EDGE (Extended data for global evolution) is like broadband on phone.. check whether ur city has that service.
3G is further a step ahead of EDGE.. it gives u speed in Mbps(AFAIK) but unfortunately India doesnt have it in any of the cities....

Really speaking we hardly even get full EDGE speeds here in India, 3G seem way too distant on the horizon. Well it's not that a symbian phone will be affected by a virus/trojan without you even knowing. Be careful of what you install and with whom you connect via bluetooth. It's simple enough for security.

As one of your major requirement is surfin net on your laptop. You must consider EDGE enabled phone only.
As of now EDGE is hardly offered by Telecom operators however
Through experience i can say GPRS speeds are better in EDGE enabled phones.
Thus looking at your budget.. N 6630 is idle purchase for ya..

@ishan if u r so scared of viruses then u must sell ur PC as well....

Great Expl..Thanks All
Ok Now one of my friend suggestted...There are some phones come with a data cable....And If I wish to run Internet through it...It will give more speed than Blue tooth...Coreect?

Can I connect that way?

OK I am Ready to leave Camera and Sound Quality at the cost Of Internet Connectivity...More suggestions if in ur mind..
(Well Nokia 6630 is already in my mind...I am going to some vendors today and will post abt that at night....BYe)

U can also try 3230..its available for as low as 9k. It has all features of 6630 nd weighs and size lower(110g compared to 126). But the sound quality is a bit lower. But it has edge support. Above all it has got FM readio which 6630 lacks.

Both K750i and N6630 come with their datacables, and internet can be connected thru it on both the phones...
Regarding speed of internet u wont get higher net speed if u connect thru the cable because... theoritical speed of bt is abt 1Mbps, and obviously cable will have much higher speed because of USB2.0...
but GPRS will only let u surf at max of abt 25-30Kbps...
so i think u understand 1Mbps > 25Kbps
hence bt will not be a bottleneck... and u'll get same speed on both bt and cable..
but if u wanna transfer songs and videos than obvsly prefer cable...

Nokia 6630 Technical Specs
- Operating System: Symbian OS v8.0a
- Developer Platform: S60 2nd Edition, Feature Pack 2



Nokia 3230 Technical Specs
- Operating System: Symbian OS v7.0s
- Developer Platform: S60 2nd Edition, Feature Pack 1

i dont compare sony phone as its totally different from these nokia phones


also, 3230 uses 123mhz ,6630 has 220mhz which makes this ph the faster processor in nokia os7-8 ie inbetween 6600,7610,3230 and also 6630 is faster thn 6680 and 6681 as 6630 has 65k colours tht means low pixels support,whereas 6680 and 6681 has 256colours

Nokia 6630 is the fastest phone with ARM 220 MHz processor. 6680; N70 and N90 use the same processor, but they are slightly slower due to screen resolution and/or amount of colors.
Nexg generation (maybe series E allready) will have stronger and faster processors.


rest, 6630 can be customise by themes,applications and games and all the stuff can be available at any good nokia/symbian forums,same with nokia 3230 but lacks in sony phones as they are cant fully customise...

I dont say there are no applications for sony phones..but not those essential applications available like call recorder, ebooks,pdf support(may be having support ,dont know) , and many others that are available for nokia phones

3230 has - 6 MB internal memory,whereas 6630 has 10 MB shared memory ,this helps a lot in the function of faster support .

3230 edge supports 118.4 kbps ,and 6630 supports 384 kbps
its not fully access speed available here in india..but think abt the future...lol

Regarding the Camera ...
3230 has 1.23 MP, 1280x960 pixels, video(QCIF) (Its 1.3megapixel but comes in effect as 1.23)
And 6630 1.3 MP, 1280x960 pixels, QCIF video


where as voice clearity ,3230 has mono output ,and fm with stereo output
6630 has stereo output but no Fm,but u can get fm handsfree from nokia @1000-1200rs and this makes 6630 with fm

Go for 6630, it’s the superior phone with better hardware and software in comparison to 3230, in matter of fact it’s the almost the best series 60 phone at the moment especially considering

Hope this will help You....

Ps: I have tried 3230 first and sell it within 3 months as its very slow..i was using 512mb and i cant remember how slow it was
whereas after i purchased 6630 with 1gb memory (With fm handsfree cost me 1600 that time),and i am satisfy with the perfomance and feature ....6630 rocks dude...


If u have more budget go out for nokia N80 ,currently using it and this is the best phone nokia ever made....

Regrds !!

6630 is 11k(i guess). if you increase your budget by 1k, go for it.. And if you only want to go for SE, don't k750i, go for w300i.
it's supports EDGE class 10, FM stereo, VGA camera,FLIP phone,stylish, 256k color display,but the screen is smaller than 6630 .
here must be only 2 option in your budget, 6630 & w300i. and now its your choice.

Then you can try MotoRazr V3i. But, I doubt it's build quality.
Also, I guess K750i will be a good choice. Forget 6230i or w300i, if you need good sound quality cos they have mono speakers.
Also, SE W550i is good if you can live with it's limited memory of 256MB.
Check out www.gsmarena.com for more details on these phones and compare your chosen ones.

EDIT:- Still if you prefer Nokia, then go for 6630, IMO that's the best nokia phone in your budget.
