The Nokia 2700 Classic (3.9K*) is her best option.

but are they giving 8GB micro SD card or not, else we need to payout heavily....
no OS means later upcoming versions of Symbian OS, is that possible....

1. The 8GB microSD card should be present.
2. No, OS upgrade isn't possible.
3. The new, CHEAPER version of the 5800 XM doesn't include the following:
TV-out feature,TV-out cable, extra stylus, pouch and stand.

I suggest you find out locally.

2600 with VGA camera, no 3.5mm jack, no usb while 2700 with 2mp, usb, 3.5mm jack

I think 2700 C would be good choice for her, isn't it?

Thanks

My question is regarding 5800XM,
1. Can I read a PDF file where the file size is large (i.e. 50MB apprx.)? What if I use Acrobat Reader?
2. Can I run a .chm (Microsoft Compiled HTML Help) file using any software? If yes then plz mention the software name.

No wonder.

In that case, the S3653 should be the one to pick from the Corby lineup unless of course she needs a slide-out QWERTY.
