Hi everybody,

I want a Quad-band phone (coz i am going outside india) which should be all rounder in music and imaging, my budget is around 14k, my personal take is on N73, N80 or Nokia 5700, please suggest which is better.

And any idea of price drop!

If you like phones from Sony Ericsson, give a try to W810i. It can stand toe-to-toe against any mp3 players in market and it also has a Powerful 2 MP cam, EDGE and it has Quad Band :)
will cost around 12k

whats the limitations? do you mean that it wont support symbain?

it wont but. . . . . feature wise it can rule out many nokia multimedia phones.
it has very good in built features. where in nokia you have to install third party apps. for example, SE W810i has a Bluetooth HID through which you can control few devices which has bluetooth. you can connect to ur laptop or desktop and can control its mouse pointer, open folders, presentations etc.

go for the 5700... its software is much advanced compared to the N73 and the N80!!
It costs 12k approx. But one limitation is its cam.. its not that good and also it lacks a flash .. Other than that everythin els is fine!! :)

Go for Sony's Walkman series W810i or W550i they are having an alround performance.

Nokia 5700 or N73.The camera of 5700 is average whereas n73 has 3.2MP AF carl zeiss lens which will give you good quality pics.
