So N95 and N82 are almost same price? Why buy N82 then?

n82 is far better than n95 .. only difference is screen size .. also check out that xenon flash in person and then comment..

Hmmm.. I was thinking of buying N95. If N82 is better, I will go for N82 instead..

thanks man!!

u meant the O2 XDA ZINC ? That has QWERTY keyboard..
it's still 36.5k...!
no idea how/why they're giving such a huge discount..?!
u talkin bout the 'hindu shopping' ad right?
the O2 prices i mentioned in my earlier post are still the same..
In the grey market,it may be a few thousands cheaper..

the n95 sure is a multimedia computer but with its capabilities comes its dimensions..
you'd be better off buyin the n82 which has almost similar features as compared to the n95..however it still lacks the n95's big display,touchscreen & 8gb of onboard memory..

use both for sometime and then decide..
thats the only way!

yeah.. i saw them in hindustan times supplement (and it clearly mentioned 1 year warranty which i suppose is not seller but company since iv previously bought a couple of things from them an they provided proper company warranty for it.) but anyways yeah i want the zinc.. lets hope somethin like tat comes up for zinc aswell (if it comes within 20k i might be able to think about it :bleh: )
Thanks mate.. an do update if an when a price cut comes along.. would be really helpful ..!!:hap2:

that's a big list u got there!!!
the whole idea is to narrow down your choices to atleast 3 phones..

Here's my recommendation:
1.Nokia 2600 Classic ~ 3.4k
2.Nokia 6080 ~ 3.8k
3.Nokia 2630 ~ 3.7k
4.SE T250i ~ 3.2K
(Chennai Prices)

Now it comes down to your personal preference..
Make sure you check out the above phones in person and decide!
