Help me to choose a phone in the price range of 6-8K

[tech.addict]

Hi,
My Nokia 6681 got stolen today . I'm now thinking of buying a cheap phone in the price range of 6-8K. Should have the following feature:
FM radio
Music Player
expandable memory
Java support (as no symbian phones can not be found in this range except Nok 6600)
Good battery life
And lastly camera (least on the priority)

I've thought about Nokia 5200, LG KG 200 and LG KG 300. What's your opinion? If anything other comes in your mind please do suggest it.
Thanks
Arup

either the LG K300 or the samsung E250... dont go for Nokia 5200 absolutly worthless BS set

how abt SE W300 ? ?

I'll suggest the SE z550i..1.3 mp cam..good mediaplayer, mem slot(64mb bundled m2 stick), got a better screen than w300i.. Around 7.4k..

W300 has a bad screen, + the output through the speaker is pathetic...

What about Nokia 6085?

What about Nokia 6085?

its bulkier than Z550i, comparatively bad screen and u get a Mono headset - one ear piece headset wid 6085...

the memory card is gonna be cheaper for 6085 and costlier for Z550i...

I would definitely go for the Z550i for the screen size and the 1.3 MP camera. It is probably the best in your budget. BTW the 6085 has a CSTN display so I wouldn't touch it if I were you.

If compact is what you want then go for the Samsung E250 or 690. The E250 is a cute little slider while the 690 is a clamshell. Although it is 65K colour it still looks good. The main downside against the Z550i is the VGA camera. Also you might not like the icons and you can't do a thing about their size.

Sorry that last comment was for the Samsung E250.
