There is no doubt that the E5 is the best one in your list. More features and hence the higher price. Go for it if your budget allows you.

Next I would chose the E63 as it is Symbian S60 and not a Series 40 6th Edition based phone like the C3. It means better apps and other software support.

But as you plan to use the phone for another 2 years, go for the E5 as it is a better package and better built than the other two.

Definitely go with the E5. It has a newer OS (The new FP2 v3 is significantly more power efficient that FP1), better camera, its faster due to the 600Mhz ARM 11 processor which helps in quite a few situations. and has a better battey life apart from having more internal memory and RAM (both help a lot later on).

The better homescreen is also pretty good, Micro USB 2.0 is VERY helpful since the speeds are a hell lot faster than the older Micro USB 1.1 on the E63 (4-5 MBps vs 800-900 KBps). Plus there's the fasterr 3G support if you want to use tethering on your cell along with a slightly better build quality.

Decide which one you want now ;)

C5 is good but priority wise I would want to have Wifi in the phone rather than 3G as 3G is something I wouldn't use much considering I'm always connected via PC..

What do you think about Nokia C3..?

i can go with it but i just have no knowledge about the battery...website says it has 4:30 hours of battery backup..how good is it..?

It's a new phone. It would be difficult to judge the real world battery capacity unless the reviews begin to pour in.

But the nokia website figures need to be taken with a pinch of salt... ;)
