If u want smartphone with symbian OS then have to go for Nokia touchscreens

You can consider Sony Ericsson C510. Great 3.2mp camera with great music.

Nokia 5235 is the way to go in your budget but seeing your comments it seems as if you won't be happy. Stick with Samsung or SE.

Samsung Monte

1.Capacitive screen
2. Wifi
3. 3.15mp cam (2mp of 5235)
4. Better looking

Nokia 5235

1. slightly bigger screen 3.2inch( 3" of monte)
2. Symbian OS
3. Video recording vga@30fps (qvga@15fps of monte)

remaining specs r nearly same

If u need WiFi then Nokia 5530 is a very good option!

Ya,I know that. Wifi is not important but capacitive touch and 3.15mp camera is attracting me towards monte but no symbian , no multitasking, no on screen qwerty,little smaller screen , low resolution is distracting

So all I guess 5235 is best and IMO 5530 is not worth it at all

If you would like your phone to do some real work, go for Nokia 5230. It doesn't have wi-fi, but you don't need that either. The number of softwares available for symbian is really great and you can do a hell lot of things with them. Only problem, freewares are not that many. 5230 is a really good phone and having a smartphone really makes more sense to me.
For example, I can speak to my friends & relatives who have smartphones free of cost using fring/nimbuzz and a google account (data charges are nominal). But very few of them have smartphones, so...

BTW fring and nimbuzz can be used in java mobiles:grin:

java versions of fring & imbuzz can be used only for text chat, not for voice & video

Fring is good ....
Samsung has some cool sets ... Used my frens Monte yesterday ... And Jet too ... They r very good .... Nokia is goin to have a run for its money ...
MOTOROLA whr r u guys ???? I hope u get a good one out soon

I bought it form Nokia Priority at RS 8700

got earphones (wh-701), 2gb card , usb cable, 12 months music subscription.

well card is useless for me as I already got 4 gb card .. other contents looks good

and 1 annoying thing was that no one had screen protector that I asked for this mobile..not even at nokia priority.

+1 for SE.
SAMSUNG Monte (Onix) Comparism has been done in this month's Digit too. My frnd brought it. Its good phone but the touch screen is less sensitive.

You can go for SE or LG Cookie Fresh is good one.

These are a few good QWERTY keypad mobile phones for those who love chatting using their mobile phones. All these mobiles are well in the price range of 8000 rupees or 160$.

1. Samsung Corby TXT -Rs. 7300

Features:

* a 2.2-inch TFT LCD with a 176 x 144 pixel resolution
* EDGE/GPRS
* Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP, USB 2.0
* 2MP camera
* FM radio with RDS
* microSD card support for external memory
* 3.5mm handsfree socket
* JAVA MIDP and CLDC supported

The disadvantage of this is only its battery which has only a two day stand by time. This is a single SIM mobile phone however.

2. LG KS360 -Rs. 8100

Features:

* a 2.4-inch TFT LCD with a 240 x 320 pixel resolution
* GPRS
* Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP, USB 2.0
* 2MP camera
* FM radio
* MP3 Player with Dolby sound Engine
* JAVA MIDP and CLDC

This phone rocks with the slide QWERTY keypad which is very comfortable for typing.


Thanks

Ovi music store has a relatively good collection of songs. I think all the latest songs are available in many languages. All the songs I downloaded were 256 kbps. I got 100 free songs with my mobile. Download failed for 12 and I lost those 12. :(
