what would be perfect price for nokia E7 brand new piece from finland?

pauldmps · Apr 9, 2011

^^ INR 1K for a QWERTYied N8 sans camera.

ragzdiablo · Apr 10, 2011

SE X8 or Wildfire or Galaxy fit?

pauldmps · Apr 11, 2011

^^ None of them. LG O1 or ZTE Blade or Samsung Galaxy Ace is what you should be looking for.

Spacescreamer · Apr 11, 2011

1) A good multimedia based phone in the budget of 15k Max.

Good loudspeaker is a requirement as well.

2) Cheapest 3G mobile phone ?

3) Cheapest fone with front cam for vid calling ?

This should be posted in the 'How much can I sell this for' thread... I think.

Neway, a price of 23-24k should be fine.

There is Nokia sub 3-4k but it's really CHEAP in 3G also

Samsung Hero E3210 3.2k

johnson_j16 · Apr 11, 2011

the price i am quoted for a brand new e7 is around 280 euros inclusive of shipping/. So i hope this deal is worth the money

pauldmps · Apr 13, 2011

^^ Are you getting it imported ?

Then after adding customs + shipping, I don't think it is worth the money.

Samsung Galaxy Ace, Galaxy Fit are the ones that came in 2011.

LG Optimus 1 came in 2010... I think.

pauldmps · Apr 13, 2011

^^ And Galaxy Pro.

But the Optimus One is still the best phone available.

PRM · Apr 13, 2011

Hi,

Thanks for the quick responses

What would be the best price for Galaxy Ace, Galaxy Fit and LG optimous?

How is Galaxy i9003?

Can i wait for some more time to get better model in 2011?

Thanks

guy if anybody want new samsung galaxy s vibrant @ 18500 only

u can contact me 9773252249

pauldmps · Apr 14, 2011

The MRPs would be

15k, 11k & 10.5k respectively.

The Galaxy SL 19003 is definately a great phone but has an MRP of about 19.5k

These are just MRPs. The actual prices would be lower than this. Plus letsbuy.com has excellent prices with discounts upto 15% using Reliance coupon.

johnson_j16 · Apr 14, 2011

no the total landing cost of the e7 finland make is 280 euros with all the accessories and the actual cost in rupees shd be around 18000 rs. so now tell me is the deal ok?

Obviously the deal is ok... good even, It retails for ~ 28k here in India. You save a whole 10k in the deal.

But if I wanted to spend ~ 18k on a phone on date, I would buy the Galaxy S LCD.

pauldmps · Apr 14, 2011

^^ +1

@johnson_j16

Why are you hell-bent on the E7 ? It does not justifies its price either on the software front or hardware front. Here is a comparison between the E7 & Galaxy S I9000

The Galaxy SL is just the same Galaxy S with S-LCD instead of S-AMOLED. Rest specs are same.
