Uh… just forget the iPhone. It’s way out of your budget—any model, purchased at any time. No one will even sell you a second-hand, first generation iPhone for Rs. 12,000.

Tell your basic requirements......What exactly do you want.

A great camera, or a great music phone or the right combination of Camera + Music.

You probably need an all-round smartphone, I'll say to get the Nokia N73ME for 13K. Pretty good camera and if you pair it with EP-630...Then it will be a good all-round smartphone.

I wont suggest HTC, because they're slow but if you want Windows Mobile, then go ahead with it. But I would suggest you HTC Touch for 14K due to a more recent version of Windows Mobile.

Get the Samsung i450. It is a Symbian S60 phone so supports a lot of apps. Plus it has 3G and great sound quality.

htc p3400 has windows mobile 5.0 bt p3400i has 6.0..so itz latest..
n ya...htc touch doesnt hv 3g...so i didnt find ny major diff between p3400i n touch....so instead of spending 14k i'll spend 10k n take p3400i....wat say??

insted of htc touch or 3400i u shud go for asus p320. n a gud news for u its now avilable for 11k @ storeguru.com.it has got all d things which u want except 3g. a very light weight pda(only 105 grms) its has got wm 6.1 which is latest.got gps, a2dp, wifi,blutooth, nice responsive touch screen interface.
but a word of caution for u its a wm device take it only whn u need it.becoz smtimes they r too crappy .they r nt normal cellphones.but tht whole credit goes to wm. otherwise its a perfect device for u .
i hv got it in black colour.
its a very gud device(@ least for me )

As you need a 3G Music Smartphone; I see no better alternative than N73 Music Edition.
Trust me; you'll love it. :) And dont go for a Symbian phone by any other manufacturer, as the ones other than Nokia tend to screw up with Symbian. Nokia has the best Symbian phone lineup. :!: So take my word and gor for it.

yea and even the W760I

for best music you must buy MOTO ROKR E8 sounds just like a IPOD .
for camera and music you must buy K810I.

And dont go for a Symbian phone by any other manufacturer, as the ones other than Nokia tend to screw up with Symbian. Nokia has the best Symbian phone lineup. :!: So take my word and gor for it.

Windows Mobile is more suited for business users. It has better PIM functions and great synchrnisation with Windows. Though Symbian S60 also offers decent PIM features, it lags behind WM. So as, you are not a business users or one who has to access mails 10 times a day(I'm assuming it), you need not be concerned about it.

Symbian S60 is more suitable for a Multimedia phone/smartphone. WM gives more of a PDA feel. One thing which WM can have is touchscreen support which Symbian S60 does not have currently.

Multitasking is possible with both, but given the choice, it oughtta be easier with Symbian S60 as pressing the Menu button for a while immediately shows you the running tasks.

Symbian S60 is like Jack of all trades. Windows Mobile is more of a E-mail/Internet accessing device with less focus in making calls. Therefore you saee most of them w/o hardare keypad and only touchscreen.

Lets see what this link has in store for us.

don't go for iphone this is out of yr budget and it's battery doesn't lost long. In my view w910i would be better. It supports 3g and in sony w series is perfect for music. If u r looking for more smart then can choose nokia 6500 classic. very smart and sophistcated.
you can get detail about those on *www.blueunplugged.com/c.aspx?c=39977
