Hi,

My budget is 5k max.

I m considering to buy LG KG 195, LG KP 220 or W200i.

My requirements r good music quality, fm, bluetooth.

I m very very much attracted to W200i, u know y??

Just because of 4 colours. I like the white 1 very much, but w200i doesn't have bluetooth.

I m in a dilemma of whether to go for features or looks. If i'll go for features then i'll buy KG 195 , if i go for looks i'll go for w200i .

But i m really confused between these 2. Or r there any gud mobiles which u want to recommend(don't say 3110 classic).

So, what do u recommend?????????

its really a feature rich phone 3500c.

But if you really wanna go for music then W200i or W300i
W300i is alittle over 5K

Does 3500 has a hot swappable memory card slot?
Does it have java?
Is the screen more? Or is it 128*160?

Ree: Which Mobile under 5k.

in this range 6233 is also a good option
it stereo music speakers are really excellent and good camera also
6233 has many other good features like bluetooth, memory , fm and other
you can also goo for samsung e250 which available in different colors and looks really stylish

I don't find any difference between Nokia 3110 Classic and the Nokia 3500 Classic except for the camera. Can anyone post pics from 3500 please?

Get a w200i if you dont want a 2mp cam. Or Just increase your budget to 7.2k and get a 6233.

I just bought Nokia 3500c but facing a quite strange problem with it.The problem is that whenver any call comes the ringtone gradually increases to its full volume after being low for some time 3-4 secs.Is there any problem...I was just googling around n I found that some say that every new Nokia model have this feature n they call it international standard bcoz the volume is set to max so it gradually builds up in vloume.I don't know whether every new Nokia model is having this strange thing.....can any1 confirm ???

There must be some option of the volume of ringtone in it.

See the settings carefully.

And can some1 say is w200i available in white colour??Because the guy at big bazaar said me that white colour is not available.

Go to the Profiles and see if the Ringing Type is set to Ascending. If it is then set it to Ringing.
