@ttm,

I saw Samsung galaxy I7500 (andriod) phone in Univercell site for 14.5k. Here is the link

Samsung I7500 Galaxy Phone Details :: UniverCell - The Mobile Expert - Buy Mobile phones, best mobile phone deals, cellphone accessories

I heard that battery backup of this phone is bad. Is it true ?? Does it have any other drawbacks or should i go for it ??
Click to expand...

The battery has enough juice (1500 mAh) and is rated at 450 hours of standby time and up to 9 hours of talk time.

Although it depends on one's usage, lasting anywhere between a day or two.

Main disadvantages

* No smart dialing

* Camera features are a bit outdated

* No videocalling

* No multi-touch gestures

* No Flash support in the web browser (coming soon via the Open Screen Project)

* No DivX/XviD video support or a third-party application to play that

* No FM radio

* No TV-out port

* No voice dialing

* Somewhat limited 3rd party software availability

* No Bluetooth file transfers (not without rooting)

* No tethering (not without a custom ROM)

Again a query

After hearing a lot good things about 5230 nokia considering this phone also saw a thread about n95 going for about 14k. So was asking the question

How good is the price of n95 considering it has stopped production?

Also would like to increase the budget for a 5mp phone if it good music capability. So is the 5230 a good option or any other kickass phone at around 14 k.

Thanks

Yes, the Nokia 5230 is a good buy considering its price.

The Nokia N95 8GB with the new price tag, makes it the only 5MP Camera phone that can be classified as a full-fledged multimedia device.

But its bulky form factor and dated OS are the primary deterrents.

The Nokia N79 is also a good option.

Other options are the Nokia 6700 Classic (12.2K*) and the SE Yari (13.9K*).

ggt said:
Ok but heard that n79 also works slow at par to the n73 and that there were stability issues with the phone have they been sorted with upgraded firmware or 5230 still better with its price tag?

Also would like to know how is the music output of the 5230? Good with the stock earphones?

Edit inquired for 5230 only few shops have them. Was quoted for 8.9k price good enough? Also would want to make sure if there is any expressmusic phone in the same model coz the one i saw was not xm.
Click to expand...

Nope. It isn't as slow as the N73. Certain OS related issues can be ironed out through firmware upgrades.

SQ on the Nokia 5230 is quite good but the loudspeaker is a tad weak, not much of a concern though.

The XM alternative to the Nokia 5230 would be the 5530 XM. Then there's the good ol' Nokia 5800 XM.

ggt said:
So i have an hour to buy what would you suggest n79 n95 8gb or w705?
Click to expand...

If you want a good camera, choose b/w the older N95 8GB and N79.

If a simple, sleek music device is all you need, get the W705.

Ultimately, your call!

Go for NOKIA's 1203 .. nokia is the best as far as low-end phones are concerned ..!! Hmm.. theres not much of a difference in 1070 and 1100 but rather stick to NOKIA .. as it'll serve you better .. and NOKIA has never disappointed with their low-end range phones ..!! hope this helps ..:hap2:

Your best would be the Samsung E1085 (1.5K*).

Thanks for your help. Anyone has any feedback on the Nokia 2760?

I am looking for feedback specifically on its reliability and ease of use. :hap2:
Click to expand...

The Nokia 2760 is quite alright for basic usage and nothing more.

It serves its purpose as a low-end clamshell, packing the basic necessities.

Cons:

- VGA Camera

- No memory card slot, only 10MB of built-in memory

- Average battery life

Hi Friends..

Want to go for a smart phone.. confused a bit as there are so many option..
Main criteria..
GPS, great Camera, Document reader/editor (must), e-mails/exchange sync (for office mails), good sound output, needs to be fast (fast processor).. Futuristic (like to keep phone for long.. so a phone which can be used for next 2-3 years)

thinking about the following phones..

Samsung Omnia Pro b7610 (value for money)
Samsung Omnia HD (great phone with great features)
Sony Xperia 10 (love sony)
Sony Satio (again lovely phone from sony)
HTC Hero (dont know much but seems to be a great phone)
Nokia N900 (dont like Nokia much but this phone looks different)
Sony Aino (would have bought it by now.. great looks.. but no document reader.. so no go :( )

Open for other options too.. Budget aournd 30k..
