Hii all,
I want to buy a mobile @ around 8k touchscreen preferred i liked Nokia 5230 but in most of the stores it is not available instead 5233. I have also recently seen Samsung s5620(though it costs more than 8k) it has quite nice features, i am confused, which one to buy please suggest one that u think is the best bang for buck, please suggest any other model that u think is better than those mentioned.
The most features that i would like to have in the mobile would be, good and responsive UI, a good quality music, good camera(at least fine) and 3G and Wi-Fi(preffered) ;) .
Thank you.

if you go with XM you won't get a fine camera. Music quality will be good whereas s60v5 is a good OS but still not matured enough.

Get the Nokia 5233 out of the two, you won't regret.

Thank you all for you reply :) .
I have another question, I want to buy a mobile for myself(the above one was as a gift).
The mobile i want to buy has a budget of around 15k, the most important features are :
1)Good UI
2)Good WiFi and browsing experience.
3)3G support
4)Nice music and good camera.
5)Good battery Life.

Thank you.

I have never owned a samsung mobile myself,but samsung has made better symbian devices than nokia,my friend has a omnia HD,which is far better than n97.
At 15k you can get htc magic or tattoo or samsung spica,none of them are great though.If multimedia is your priority go for 5800,there are not much options mate!

for under 8k, try and get your hands on 5230, its better than 5233, with 3g support and gps.
for 15k, u can also try E71....its not a multimedia phone but worth chking out
