Hey all . My dad's planning to buy a new phone . THe budget's not limited but i wud rather like the price to be around 10k-15k ( i am gifting him the phone). He already has a blackberry 'Pearl' which he got from the office but he rarely uses it for anything else than e-mail.

Just the normal multimedia features with radio and a 3 MP cam wud be enough.A WLAN would be nice if present. Also a VERY VERY GOOD battery life is needed .

So are there any cool phones out there , i was thinking may be N73 non-ME, or a cool cybershot camera .A few phones that i found are N73 , any cool SE cybershot ,Nok 6233 .


He is using my ROKR E6 and he likes it pretty much except for the battery life .

buy E65,N73Me,N91,SEW700i(multimedia) or Moto ming.
But i kinda feel you don't buy moto coz it is full of pros and very great budjet cons!:!:

^^ . The current N95 sucks big time in almost everything but most of all the build quality which many nokia phones have nowadays. Have to look at the new N95 8GB though.

Dad doesn't like the Qwerty keyboard. So E61i is out .
may be K850i ,N95 8GB , Samsung F700 all are good phones with gr8 cameras .
