+1 for philips , they produce much more clear sound than others in this range . Sony's have little more 'bass' but since 5130 already produce plenty good music , and considering you dont use effects , i dont think you'll need more bass .

Btw , mediahome.in is selling soundmagic pl30 for around 1k , they got rave reviews , check em out. (Although i never personally never heard them ) .

I dont like s40 phones so i keep away from them and also they dont serve my purpose, i went to get my frnd a new phone recently so enquired abt 5130's price which was 5.4k @ nokia priority dealer , as mobile store aint giving anything extra for 5.9 then whats the use of buying it frm thr??

5130 is S40 5th edition . S40 is NOT symbian .

Anyway , dony worry , you still have enough java apps and games to explore . Also try few good themes at mobile9.com and zedge.com
