I want a new mobile for around 15K. I will prefer nokia with Symbian OS.

I need a good Camera in the Mobile Phone with decent music quality. I will use it for a year or so, after that I will replace it with a new one so it must be a good value for money.

I shortlisted N79 and 5800 Xpress Music. Please help...

Go for 'SE C905'

GR8 5 MP Camera and awmsome music player with long battery backup :razz:

only drawback is 2.2" screen as N79 got 2.4" :cool:

^^^ Symbian makes 2x better the phone... I would have gone for 5800 without thinking... you can go for N79 if you need a good camera though

yes. N79 has a better camera. But it has that i-have-seen-this-phone kind of design. 5800XM has bigger display, better processor, more memory, more storage space, touch Symbian UI, bigger battery.

camera: N79 has 5mp and 5800XM has 3.2mp. Given the quality of these cameras, does that make a difference?

and yes, if camera is a priority, then C905 is much better option right? it has 8mp camera and all the features that N79 has.

Actually I need a Good Camera phone with Symbian OS. 5MP in N79 is gud enough for me and it also fits my pocket.

I read in some reviews that the UI of 5800XM is bit sluggish and the camera quality is not that gud. is that so ??

the first release of 5800XM's UI was a bit sluggish and it should be fine now. if N79 camera is good enough for you and if it doesn't matter whether it has touch or physical keys, go for N79

Actually I want a camera phone with a camera more than 3MP. Though I like touch screens but the features provided in N79 are better than 5800XM. Don't you think so ?

I haven't noticed it being sluggish ... Its just irritatingly inconsistent at times ... And yes, occasionally there are brief periods when the accel. meter has the display in portrait when u want it the other way around.

I'm sure there are no inconsistencies with the way the n79 feels... used a 5320xm so I know ...

But apart from the drawback mentioned above, the fone is a winner in all other departments ... music movies surfing ... the cam does give some washed out pictures at times

Is there any site where I can see some pictures taken by 5800XM and N79, so that I can compare the picture quality ??

I want a mobile which have better picture quality. Megapixels doesn't affect me too much. Over 3MP should be fine....that's why I shortlisted these two phones. I am confused...

i recently bought N79 for 15.2k from nokia priority and got 2 4gb cards. By the way, its camera is really good. except u have few bugs as most nokia phones have. Like the backlight time cannot be extended. In 8 secs ur screen light goes off. So u get annoyed while reading bigger messages etc..

just go to >setting>phone>display>back light time> set as you want for increasing backlight time....
i was go through a cool apps for N79,just downloaded a cool app called Wwingo..
it's available on trial for an hour :( but it's worth-ed..
if you don't have a web cam on your machine, you can connect your PC with your phone which has a camera through bluetooth or wifi and you will be able to get camera access on your pc that actually uses your phone camera..it's cool. just hope it's not too expensive :(

Nokia Music Store Review
hey guys here i want to share my review on nokia Music store

i have got a shortcut icon on my desktop to after install music store and was waiting to see the application look like. To my surprise, it didn’t open for nearly 1 minute. I re-clicked it and waited, this time a little lesser time. I closed it and then re-opened, this time it took about 20 seconds to open. So one has to say that the application is a bit bulky.My 4GB RAM and Core 2 Duo processor should have been more than enough for it to open in just seconds.

Now the real store experience. If you are a Bollywood freak you got a big reason to rejoice. As I write this, I am simultaneously downloading tracks of London Dreams, Main aur Mrs.Khanna, Sonu’s chiggy wiggy and Sona’s Dil Jale.
