Nokia E50 is supposed to be a equipped with
OS v9.1,
256K cols,
70MB internal memory,
better browser,
1.3MP cam,
Push email,
QVGA display,
Better Office apps,
Bluetooth v2.0,

But...cost is 10.3K.

My doubt is why is it cheaper than older models like 6681/6630/6680?

Any valid reason?

kindly analyze and share!

^^ Because it comes without a memory card. 6630 is 3G enabled. 6680 has 3G as well as front video camera. Whereas 6681 comes with 128 mb card. The advantages E50 has over these phones basically involves better OS and software. Others come with better hardware (3G, video camera, memory card) which costs the manufacturer more to implement/provide than software. If the E50 would have come with a memory card, it would have definitely cost more. Thats why the others are comparatively more expensive.

@krazyfrog is absolutely correct,6630/80/81 are equipped with 220MHZ processors while E50 has 208MHz.Oldies are probably powerful but underutilized.

one can easily mail, browse using these oldies.
but the web browser they provide is not sufficient.
One can use Mini-Opera to browse internet on these oldies

Well, the ones sold by Nokia are not cheap, I got 512 MB for 6630@ 550 from Gaffar Mkt, (Non Delhiites - Read this as a flea mkt for cellphones in Delhi) While Nokia sells the same for around 2000-3000.
