[shaunak]

I was looking at the SE ELM around the 10k mark. Any cheaper models out there?

[raksrules]

Nokia 5230 i guess. Dont know what the price is currently.

Nokia C5

GPS works great with fast signal lock.... voice navigation for walk or drive

Whats the price for C5?

 

[dexBG]

Nokia C5 retailing at 7.8 K ..

the C5 and the 5230/35 are the cheapest GPS phone available.

5230/35 has a bigger 3.2" screen so much more usable.

 

[Superbad]

^C5 would be better for 3g plus GPS.
Speeds upto ten mbps.
One more question does the phone charges on usb connection?

 

[ronnie_gogs]

Yup C5 charges thru USB.... only this missing in this phone is the wifi....

 

[dexBG]

Nokia 5235 supports both GPS n 3G .. but no WiFi.

I picked up a Toshiba G710 for about 5.5k. Win mobile with GPS

 

[ronnie_gogs]

Well I kinda don't like low end resistive touch screen phones so went for the C5.... And I like my phone... works great for me...

Although cons include hanging... cause I play around a lot it has hung on me on a couple of times....

 

[Superbad]

Hung during multitasking or some specific apps?

 

[shaunak]

I am seriously considering the C5. I will go into a nokia dealer and check out the phone for my self.

My only concern is that me being a SE user since a long time might find the interface odd.

 

[ronnie_gogs]

Hung during multitasking or some specific apps?

Multitasking mostly... if I forget to check how many apps are open in the background...

After a lengthy discussion with ronnie .. Even Im on the C5 bangwagon .. (. if there is no bangwagon.. let me proudly announce one rite now.. )

Good compact n verry Nokia .. if you're into that.

There's one Micromax w900 which in WinMo 6.5 and come with Mapmyindia software and maps preloaded, good choice if you're buying phone for GPS use...retails around 7.5k

Just bought C5 for my mother a while back.

Played around with it for a while, decent phone for the price.
