Since your against Touch Screen your best option would be N79 according to me. You can check the X3 review at gsmarena it has questionable build quality, a poor screen and no Wifi.

I'd advise you to test some of the touch offerings. Touch screen phones have come a long way since last year especially in the 10k segment.

I'd recommend you to try a Samsung Star/Nokia 5230/Nokia 5800(Latest Firmware + 2010 model since nokia have upgraded the processor)

hmm. since keypad is a must for you, check these two:

Nokia N79
SE Yari

 

[m-jeri]

n79... too old.

Yari... Not at all feeling anythin towards it... - small screen, weird looks.

Any other?.... I can do with either a keypad or a Qwerty one.

and... no 3.5mm jack.

 

[manu1991]

Sony Ericsson W715 -15k

Has WiFi, GPS and 3G . Good camera and music abilities. No 3.5mm though, but you can easily get a converter for 100 bucks.

 

[m-jeri]

I can increase mu budget upto 20k...

How is i7500... the android capactive touch screen one.. is it for 15k or 25k ???

 

[dantool]

i want to buy a mobile equipped with 3G for surfing over laptop via datacable.

which amongst these would be a better bet:

1.nokia 2730

2.samsung i600 blackjack

Check out SE W995 or Nokia N86 8MP ... If u want touchscreen then Samsung jet is good choice ...all these phones sell for around 18k ...

Nokia 2730 supports only UMTS ie upto 384 kbps speeds whereas i600 supports HSDPA upto 1.8 mbps so i guess thats a better choice.

BTW if thats your only requirement, then why not buy something like this

is it available in india?

the w995 is VERY high on my list...

is it for 18k ?? are u sure??.. thght it was like 20.5k??

what is the prices of w995, n86, i8510 ....

I pretty much like i8510... but in ebay i found it as 43k !!!

The SE W995 isn't doing too well, some say it is the buggy, rather stale OS.

The Nokia N86 (18.3K*) is a good option and you get Symbian to work with.

For an additional 2K, if your budget permits, there's the Samsung B7610 OmniaPRO and the Nokia N97 Mini to choose from. Both feature a slide-out QWERTY keypad and a touchscreen display, not to mention the WinMo/Symbian advantage.

The best price for the Samsung i8510 is 39.8K*, easily overshooting your budget.

U mean 22k??.. no mate.. thats too much for me... Even 20k is pushing it for me.. hate expensive phones. and i am a rough user.

Yeas the w995's MAIN flaw imo is the os... .. The N86 is still good i guess then.

Any other phones under the prices of 20k worth looking... any phones at all....

My current list is --> n86(most prolly), w995(if no other options are there.)
