Hello buddy,

I'll suggest you to consider Nokia E6 by incrementing the budget by about a grand as also suggested by #[member='DarkStar'].Here's the review for Nokia E6 by GSMArena: http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_e6_00-review-616.php Hope this helps.

touchscreen + qwerty + symbian + 5mp cam + bar phone ------>nokia E5 or nokia N72

i would skip on the nokia touch and type phones as the touch loses sensitivity sooner and one fall and your phone is a paper weight!!

Hello buddy,

I'll suggest you to consider HTC One V by incrementing the budget by about a grand.

Here's the review you can check it out: http://www.gsmarena....-review-750.php

Hope this helps.

Oh I forgot to get it around 15K you'll need an eBay coupon, so request for the same in the eBay thread.

Did you even care to read his post

Please dont post the same post in all threads just by looking at the title.

He needs a phone with Qwerty and touchscreen and he says he prefers Symbian. You have recommended him to get a full touch screen phone.

@ OP - If you want only Symbian and touch screen then the Nokia E6 is a very good option. The X3-02 is a S40 feature phone and not a smart phone Symbian version with S60v5 or S^3.

Else I would suggest the HTC Chacha. Its a good phone for ~11k given your requirements.

Although you have asked for a Symbian phone i would suggest going for ANdroid as it is the fastest growing OS currently and Symbian is almost in its dying stages

Thanks all. Appreciate your help.

What do you think about Nokia 603?????

My apologies to OP, My bad mixed up two different user's requirements was reading some other thread before this & recommended One V over here, the side effects of multi-tasking.

I'll edit my post right away.

#[member='DarkAngel'] you think I'm spamming/trolling then go through all my previous posts that'll surely help you get a better view.

If the requirements put up by the user states that s/he wants an Android handset for 15K then as of now I suggest her/him to get HTC One V with a coupon & there were many such similar requirements recently, so you might have got the above idea.

If you think suggesting a handset equates to spamming then God help us users, just kidding man.

HTC has decided to stop making qwerty phones. So ChaCha's price may fall even further. In case you need service, ...think about it before you finalize.

The 603 is a touchscreen-only phone - so no qwerty and also camera has no flash.

Thanks all. Appreciate your help.

What do you think about Nokia 603?????

603 is a fully touch handset but you wanted a QWERTY handset ? Please clearly state your requirements ?

BTW you should give Android a try even though you may have used Symbian in the past. The switch over won't be that hard either as I have done the same myself, do tell us if you want to try an Android.

 

[aby.jena]

Hi all. What do you think of Samsung Wave 3??? It is bit above my budget. But anyways what would you all suggest?

 

[aby.jena]

Also needed suggestion & information on the Service of Sony Ericsson. I'm thinking of Neo V. But, i'm bit hesitant because of the recent news about the possible service problem due to the Split. Please suggest.

 

[Bhutoria_1989]

Go for E6 my Dad has it and he loves it

Or else Sony Ray the most VFM SmartPhone

Neo V is good choice.and i don't think there is any issues related to servicing due to the split!!
