SE K790i is the best cell that you can buy in your budget. Good looks, terrific 3.2 mpix camera, awesome xenon flash, excellent display, great sound quality,...... Oh forget it, i'm running out of adjectives! My advice, go out and buy it!

I would suggest u to go in for N 73 or N 93. Have used N 73, was a very gud phone with excellent camera. N if u like to go the SE way then K790i is the one to opt for.
BTW i dont think SE can ever match a nokia either in network strength or in the fact that Nokias are SYMBIAN(the heaviest point in favour) bt i dont knw abt CustomerCare coz m having a really horrible experience with Nokia

@krazyfrog: Man N70 is really something to fall in for, i loved it too much bt since last 1 month its with nokia care due to network problem!

@Pathik: Lage raho pathik bhai, N 70 ke aandolan mein main tumhare saath hoon :)

Andolan???!!!! Sheesh!
Anyways, its not that i'm against N70 or anything. This guy has a budget of 20k. You can definitely find a better phone than N70 in this budget. Tell you what, you should try and get you hands on a k790i. May be that'll change your opinion about SE. Things like poor network reception are a thing of past on se phones.

@krazy : Hey m jus kiddin, m nt an nokia promoter or anythng, jus that i used a word(aandolan) doesnt mean anythng, that was jus a joke. And yes he might gt a btr phn like a N 73 or a N 93(again, not a nokia promoter;)) bt they have OS 9.1 which doesnt have mch aaplications so i recommended N 70 anywayz as abt SE, jus havnt used these very new phones else seen almost all of W series, P series n K series n to be very impartial, they have definitely quite improved a lot since T 100 bt still they arent upto the mark. They still show "SOS Calls Only" while the nokia in same area with same service somehow manages the call.(and m not talking of airtel, which has superb coverage here in delhi, m talking of Idea n Hutch which have relatively poor service in my area)

Actually i used to be quiet a nokia promoter myself and looked down upon any other manufacturer, SE included. But after k750i and the walkman series, i really started appreciating SE. Now i wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone.

Quiet frankly, i think N72 is much better value than N70. It doesn't make you pay more for features (3G, secondary camera, etc) that you're not gonna use. Its similar to N6680 and N6681. Hardly anyone bought the former. Because N6681 made more sense. If nokia had launched N70 and N72 simultaneously, the same fate would have fallen upon N70 that fell on N6680. And then probably there would have been andolans for N72 instead :). Anyways there is no point in having andolans for cell phones. These things get old quiet soon and there is a new cell we get a crush on.

beware of Nseries, as flashy as it may seem with its hyper exotic features, problems such as program compatibility and instability of OS spring up soon enough...

@ krazy :Yes its true that N 72 is cheaper b'coz it doesnt charges for the features which u r not gonna use bt thinking psychologically when u own a Dual camera N 70 which is merely abt a 1000 bucks dearer then u feel more better when u carry a N 72. Dont u ?
And
Yes u r right that these things age up quite quickly bt as for nw m having a crush on it since last 6 months and also many others so lets continue till we get a new model ! :)

@jz2linkinpark : U supposedly owned a N 91, it has OS 9.1 which is new n hence program compatibility and instability of OS. It has a new .sisx extension n many other complexities thats why we(me,pathik,nikeel n many other) recommend a tested and allrounder N 70

Right, Basically if u r a Nokia fan like me then the choice is very simple depending on budget:

If Budget is between 10k & 15k go for 6233 (assuming u r willing to sacrifice symbian) otherwise go for 6681 (if u r willing to sacrifice FM)

If Budget is between 15k & 20k go for N70.

If Budget is not an issue then go for N73 or N80.

If budget is not an issue, why go for N73. He can better opt for something like N93 or w900i or O2 Atom or better still wait for the N95.

I am only talking about Nokia phones in my previous thread.

In non Nokia phones, if Budget is not an issue then alongwith the O2 Atom, the SE P990i is also a good proposition.

The Nokia N95 is not yet available & many people find the N93 very bulky.

I am currently still using my old Nokia 6600 & plan to exchange it for a Nokia N70 this week. I have the lowest quote of 16.3k available with me.
Pls let me know if it is cheaper at other places (like Alfa & Herra Panna)

@nikeel : right brother, N 93 n N 90 both feel like a brick piece, though awesome in feature bt they kill their appeal by their bulkiness.

As about buying N 70, I can get u a Brand new N 70 handset with a 512MB MMC(RC) for 15K bt there's a catch. PM me if u wana knw :D
