Your options:

Moto Rokr E8 ~ 12.3K*

Samsung i450 ~ 11.7K*

Moto EM35 ~ 11.4K

Nokia 5310 XM ~ 8K*

Although there are SE phones in this price range, they don't come with a dedicated 3.5mm jack which can be a deal-breaker for a music phone !

Hope this helps.

I dont know if the i450 supports 8GB card or not. But there should not be any problem as such. You better check out the review of the i450 on mobile-review.com They use some large capacity cards to test.

According to all the reviews, the Motorola E8 has the best sound quality, comparable to dedicated PMP's(something like the Apple one's not Cowon, Archos quality. No phone other than maybe the Serenta can hope of achieving the quality of Cowon, Archos). My friend has the phone and the only bad thing about it is that the maximum volume through the earphones is low if compared to Nokia or Samsung phones.
Another friend has the i450 and the sound through the earphones is good. But there is one small problem. If you want to use the speaker to hear music, you will have to open the slider since the speakers are underneath.

If comparing between the i450 and E8, I would suggest you go for the i450 because it has Symbian OS and a normal keypad. The keypad on the E8 is not that bad but I prefer the tactile feedback of normal keypads and I slowed down considerably while writing on the E8 as I had to look at the screen continuously to see if the correct letter has been input.

NOKIA 5130 XpressMusic - how is this phone..wavetel quoting 5769 with 1 gb memory ?
Click to expand...



It's one of the best options for music phones under 6k !

However, there are a few issues that have been reported :

1. Occasional Freezing/Restarts (Buggy OS)

2. Average battery life

3. Scratch prone screen

4. Average Camera

Not sure if a firmware update rectifies the first two issues.

I strongly suggest you try out this model before you purchase it.

The Nokia 5000 (4.1K) should do the job !

It misses out on a memory card slot though.
