What OS does Samsung M5650, Samsung Star 3G and Samsung S3653 have? and which is the better of the three?

any other phones in the same price range and very very chic? :P

^^all three run java based UI (not a full fledged OS) and none are good to be precise. For chics, check

Nokia 7610S

Nokia 5310 XM (bit older but perfect for ladies)

SE C510

SE Naite

I would rather not give a touch screen phone to ladies. Thanks to their nails and noobishness, you will find the phone's display having potholes inside few months. :)

I am looking for a phone.

My needs are

1> Good Battery life...I am a student and generally talk quite a lot.

2> Decent display and looks.

3> All basic features required to use FB mobile

4> Music playback should be decent...I will use bundled earphones

My budget is 6.5k max including memory card. I would be able to spend Rs.100 more on a screen guard.

The models I am looking at are

Nokia 6303, Samsung Shark S5350.

I think the Samsung Shark is better. But here are the things can I get themes and java games for the phone and can I use Opera ?

today I roamed around mobile stores and checked se anD checked se naite. Found it to be pretty good. For games I would suggest se f305 for 5.5k and you can get a good pair of earphones and memory card.

Also consider the Nokia 5130XM ~ 4.9k
Price of this has reduced Rs.300-400 recently. Good music set and satisfies all your requirements.

Between the Nokia 6303 vs Samsung Shark S5350 the Sammy has better looks and also also has 3G which the Nokia lacks. But i guess it lacks a 3.5mm jack. So it might be a deal breaker for some.

Give the SE NAITE a miss if you plan to use the mobile for more than 1-1.5 yrs. The FAST PORT in most SE phones rears its ugly head after that and you get frequent disconnections of data cable and ear phones.

Want to Buy- Multimedia phone

Intended Use- Music playback, Texting and Photography

Preferred Brand- Nokia, Sony Ericcson

Budget- 6K-8K

Choices already in view- Nokia 6303

It will be used by my sister so color can be any but still preference will be given to darker shades.

In the above mentioned budget, if there is any decent touchscreen or qwerty phone available then please do mention that also.

Infact lots of touch options :)

Nokia 5233 ~ 7.2k+4GB miscroSD(0.5k) -> 7.7k
Nokia 5230 ~ 8.3k+2GB microSD(0.3k) -> 8.6k

You can get the 5230 from ebay for 8.5k - discount(10%/20%)
Difference between the two models is the 5233 lacks 3G and GPS which the 5230 has.
