I want to buy a mobile for rs. 12k-13k. Apart from basic features, i want 3.2 MP camera, 3G, GPRS/EDGE, software customisation(installing themes, games, etc). I will use it mainly for listening music, so its music quality should be very good (quality of earphones, dedicated music keys,storage capacity matter too). Since i will use camera for casual shooting, so quality of camera doesn't matter much. I have shortlisted these mobiles- Nokia 5610, Nokia N73 ME, SE k810i, SE k770i, SE 890i (though its costlier than my budget, but if its really good, i will go for it). If there are some other good mobiles, please suggest me.
Also, let me know if newer mobiles are coming in the market with my requirements in 2-3 months.

Powerful allrounder: N73me
Superb camera phone: K810i
Ultimate music machine: W910i

W890i is no a great phone.
Nokia 5610 is S40 phone, which when compared to above three is like Win98 before Win xp.

also check Nokia 6110 navigator. Though it has a 2mp cam, it's feature rich.

W890i. Perfect for your needs. N73 is aging.

Ya, i know its costlier thats why i've written that if its exceptionally good, i'll go for W890i.

thanks to all for your opinions. Can you also tell which mobile has good quality EARPHONES?

The new firmware has improved the music quality of W910 but I'll say to get W890......

The form factor of W890 is really cool.....

Rohit Sharma is a good player with a nice technique. He is definitely going to be a great player.........He is getting better & better

Yusuf Pathan should be given a chance in the ODIs.......He is also good and moreover he can bowl too.

N73 is a great phone and it has got many fw updates after its release which solved its earlier bugs. Maybe nokia will discontinue this phone but u you will get several apps for this phone as this is a very popular phone worldwide but if u like u can go for se 890 also but it wont fullfil ur needs if you are an app junkie.

never get n73 or n73 music edition if don't want slower phone
n73 is really a slow phone (personal exp). it is better to have k810i instead n73. k810i is really a good phone if you don't have any problem with its keypad. it has excellent 3.2 mega pix camera, good music quality and many other good features

I am an app junkie, but i earlier had SE W700i & i think their are enough java games, apps (not that much as for NOKIA) for SE mobiles...

Thanks guys for useful OPINIONS...
I m thinking of SE W890i. Can you plz tell me its sound output tho' external speakers & tho' handsfree (since i prefer in-ear ones, like those given with SE W700i)
OR should i wait for newer SE mobiles releasing this month- W980,G700,C702, etc(*www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson-phones-f-19-3.php)... If they are fitting in my budget.
PLZ suggest for/against my FINAL DECISION....

The new firmware has fixed that slowness issue in N73 ME,and the new phones are being shipped with the latest firmware.Just check out the manufacturing date.

sound output through external speakers in not that loud..but headphone volume is brilliant...u can however wait for the w760 or the g700...th w980 will be beyond your budget i presume and will ship in june/july..
