Hi;

Im in search of a phone with the following requirments

-good music through the headset
-good keypad and good quality. By quality I mean the paint should not peel off, the keypad and navigation should work even after rough use. Im planning to keep the phone for a few years atleast.
-decent enough camera with flash/autofocus
-has to have GPRS, EDGE and 3G and a good browser

I currently have in mind C702 and w760? w760 seems good but im skeptic about the slider and keypad. Will it be durable? I dont care about GPS so I can also consider w890i. Also will there be a considerable quality difference between walkmans and c702 through the headphones?

c702 is a good buy but i sugg u extend the budget and consider n82 and c902
and yea there will be a huge diff between the regular and w series head fones but u can easily get a hpm-70 or ep-630.. at 500-600/-

With hpm-70 the quality would be the same?

ep-630 sounds much better but for 15k try getting the N81 or C702

1) W760i
2) W890i
3) Motorola E8 or U9.

W760 lacks AutoFocus and Flash....Its camera isn't great.

C702 all the way. it has got terrific build quality seriously. It has also been even awarded for that. It is splash resistant. You can easily use it in rain...The water will not enter inside...:D

It has the best 3.2mp day camera......This time Krates you'll not have any objections as it is definitely better than K790i/K810i during day.....:D The flash used is a PhotoFlash which is 3 times stronger than a normal LED flash....It got AutoFocus and GeoTagging too.

Plus, it also has GPS....

C702 + HPM-70 will be the complete combination of Camera and Music and you should definitely go for it......:)

It also got MegaBass....

try getting the N81
Build quality of N81.....It sucks......:lol: and yeah, its camera also sucks.

Only if you can compromise with the camera, go for the N81. BTW, the build quality is quite superb.

Yeah, thats C702. That was a typo....

But how'll EP-630 work with C702??....Aren't they 3.5mm...But in the end, who'll like to carry the adapter....And you'll also loose the MIC facility...

C702 + HPM-70 is pretty good. If you want more then get more superior HPMs.

@prasanthsd

If you'll get the W890i, then the camera will not be that good. It lacks AutoFocus & Flash.

I think you should go for K850i, its available in SONY WORLD for 15.8k. 5MP Camera & gud music quality. Or C702 but it has 3.2 MP camera.

First of all don't hijack someone else's thread. Make your own or better, search the forum for ones that are already made on the same topic. Second don't just post your budget. Also post what you are looking for in your phone.

I'd like to suggest you Nokia E51. But it costs 11k which is a bit beyond your budget. But it is worth it if you could stretch a bit.
