Hello,

I need some specific features in a mobile which I wish to buy sometime very soon. I'm listing the must have features followed by the features that would be good to have or a plus.

A flip phone is preferred but if not available, a bar or slider phone is fine. Budget is about USD 12,000 INR.


Must-have features:

1. Loud and good music quality like the Nokia 5800-XpressMusic.
2. Support for 32 GB microSD card.
3. Be able to set multiple alarms (at least 6) even for one day. And the alarms should be able to repeat hourly. Also, should be able to use or select which MP3 file to play for each alarm.
4. The Music UI should not be slow even when using a 32 GB microSD card. The scrolling in the playlist, the gallery (memory card) and in the contacts should be fast.
5. Fast-forwarding and rewinding of audio and video should be fast and not take very long to do.
6. Should have high battery life, and have at least 1320mAH battery.
7. At least 5 hours of music playback using the built-in speakers and at least 10 hours of talk-time.
8. Should have Torch light. Some phones have a camera flash and use it as a Torch light too. That would do fine.
9. Should be able to mark and delete muliple SMS and files. Nokia X2-02 doesn't have this feature.
10. Atleast 2000 contacts and SMS storage, better unlimited.
11. Should have at least BlueTooth 2.0 with A2DP


Good to have features:

1. At least 2 MP camera, 3 MP would be better and flash would be an added advantage but not a must have.
2. FM should work with built-in antenna.
3. Should be able to record FM.
4. Should be able to record calls.
5. Memory card should be hot-swappable and removable from the side and not under the battery.
6. WiFi support would be a plus too, 3G not needed but don't mind it if it comes along with the WiFi.
7. Document viewer and editor would be a plus.


Not very important but these features would be nice too:

1. Photo viewer should have a slideshow feature, and previous and next buttons. Also should be able to view photos in landscape mode.
2. Should be able to view 3GP and Xvid/DivX MP4 videos.
3. Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR and A2DP would be a plus.
4. Internal phone memory should (user memory) should be at least 50 MB.
5. Easily accessible volume keys and music keys.
6. The music player should remember which song was played last.
7. Should have ToDo list, Notes, Alarms, Reminders, Calendar, Calculator.
8. Should have updates to the firmware available.
9. Custom wallpapers support.
10. Support for adding custom ringtones
11. List contacts by phone or by SIM
12. Support for contact groups.
13. Multiple numbers for each contact.
14. The shortcut keys should be customizable.
15. SMS and Phone number reject list or block lists.


All help appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Casper
 
Your budget Rs.12000 right,you have added an "USD" before that.At you budget and needed features you should probably look at some used Nokia N8.
 
You have eliminated essentially all modern smartphones with couple of requirements.
Your best bet will be to pickup another Nokia symbian phone or even S40 phone. Nothing else will give you kind of battery backup you need.
You want modern phone, compromise.
 
Like Shripad mentioned, modern smartphones and long battery life (10 hrs talktime) are mutually exclusive. You will have to compromise with battery life or compromise most features and get a basic Nokia/Samsung mobile. Barring the extraordinary battery backup that you desire, torchlight (display acts as one) and the support for 32GB card (I have not tried this), the rest of the features are present in my very modest Android mobile too - ZTE Blade.
 
Considering your overall list of requirements, iOS and WP is out of the race (not considering BB OS). And between android and Symbian, battery life will be mediocre in most android phones. So IMO S^3 is your best bet which will pass almost everything on your checklist (not sure about 10hrs talktime though)

Which phone models support the S^3? Also, I was thinking that if one phone cannot have all the features I want, I can get two, one for regular features like loud and better music quality, multiple alarms, good battery life etc (an S40 or similar phone) and another Android or Symbian phone with Wifi, 3G, 32GB card support, Document viewer and a better camera.

If I want the only two features on an S40 phone - great music quality and loud speaker, AND multiple alarms, which phone would you guys suggest? I hope I don't have to get three phones - one for music, one for alarms and another for Wifi and Document viewing.

Kind Regards,
Casper
