I simply quote price estimates for phones that haven't released here.

Whether or not they are available on eBay, at a higher or lower price doesn't really matter.

Anyone used SE J132? Any idea about reliability?

IMHO, It's highly overrated.

Weak specs and better options in that price range.

Flip phones are a rarity these days.
Your closest option would be the Blackberry Pearl Flip 8220 (11.5K*), followed by the stylish Moto Razr2 V8 (14.4K*)

Either the Nokia 5130 XM or the Samsung M2710 Beat.

You can also consider the LG GM200.

All three devices sport a 3.5mm audio jack and are priced at 5.2K*.

I'm saying, eBay isn't a standard to find and compare prices.

Whether or not, you choose to buy from ebay is upto you but quoting their prices as real-world references is pointless.

Hope you understand.

There are quite a few options.

A few more specific requirements would help.

If not the E75, how about the new E72 (19.8K*)?

Among WinMo devices, the OmniaPRO B7610 (22K*) is an excellent option in its price range.

It does come with WinMo 6.1 but is upgradeable to 6.5. However, reviews have shown that 6.5 isn't as snappy as 6.1.

Well my first choice is E75 of course but as its discontinued , i have to go for other options. E72 is good but i dont like it because of the small keys.

is there any other option than OmniaPRO B7610 , Symbian or WinMo what ever.

Omnia PRO looks to be decent phone but SAMSUNG ??? is it a reliable brand, also i have some vedio reviews and i feel Omnia pro has sluggish touch response. whats your say

 

[raunaqmorarka]

Qwerty keypad
Must connect to wifi modems in a hassle free manner.
Camera is unimportant.
