Well, there's the Samsung C5212 (5.4K*) !

Is it for a special someone?

If so, the SE Yari (14K*) would be perfect.

Other options :

Nokia 6700 Classic ~ 12.2K*
SE W705 ~ 12.7K*
SE T700 ~ 11.4K*

Check Nokia 5800XM. This one comes for 13.5k and has 3.2" touch display.

OS: Symbian S60 v5

Java apps: yes

PDF and docs: using quick office.

as you save 1.5k, just buy Quick Office for symbian. This one costs 19$ but for next 24 hours, it's available for 10$ as a special offer.

The Nokia E71 (15.5K*) should suffice.

The Nokia E71 (15.5K*) should suffice.

I want the screen to be a bit big to be able to read more properly.

 

[thetoxicmind]

I want the screen to be a bit big to be able to read more properly.

The LG GT505 (13K*) or the Nokia 5800 XM (13.2K).

thinking of nokia 5800, if anyone can say if it has any drawback? Is there any complain about the screen? Can we install java based application on this phone? Will it support to update OS in future? Is the new box pack consist of all the addons that 5800 had at the time of launch, those are TV out, case, stand etc.

1) you can install java apps in 5800XM
2) I think yes.
3) no. they removed most of the goodies. no tv out, no case, no stand.

for 13.5k, it's a worthy phone to get. It has a gorgeous display and UI is very responsive.

1. At times, the screen might not register the first touch but this isn't a serious issue.
2. It supports Java MIDP 2.1, so no issues there.
3. By OS update if you meant firmware update, then yes.
4. The primary reason for the current price is that the extra accessories have been removed.

I'm afraid the only device that will let you play Facebook applications like Mafia Wars DIRECTLY, is the Apple iPhone.

So I suggest you look for good deals on the same.



Currently supported by iPhone:

Mafia Wars

Word Scramble

Street Racing

Live Poker

Vampires Bloodlust



Other devices do support the standard Facebook application for basic usage and other mini games but you won't be able to loads apps like Farmville.

It has to be through the web browser and whether or not the advanced flash apps will load, is quite uncertain.

but are they giving 8GB micro SD card or not, else we need to payout heavily....

no OS means later upcoming versions of Symbian OS, is that possible....

 

[raunaqmorarka]

I asked about 5800xm at a shop recently, 8gb card is bundled with it but no other goodies like senheiser headphone etc.
