can u tell me if the motorola e398 supports FM kit?
n considering ur advice i'm planning to buy the k300i, it seemed to be the best of all sony handsets, 8k for the mobile and another 1200 for the kit.
The video/camera n memory are bonus.
So my problem is solved. And the kit is really cool looking.Thanx a lot, man.
had they priced it @ 18 ... WOW ... shud have been a deal!!!
@ice .. mee too waiting for w800 .. not for orange color..it s*** !! but for 512 Mb stick upgrade!!
went to the dealer to buy 6630 ... nd came bak with k750i !!!!!
the price @ delhi was 21500Mrp/- ... gave a discount nd the beauty was all mine for 19800/- ... no instalments whatsoever were there .. ice is a lucky fellaw!!
superb resolution of pics ... nice interface ...overall a nice buy .. nd seeing this i can say that i DONT need to install additional apps nd i DONT need a smartfone!!!! the only upgrade i may go in for will be a 512MB stick ...
:( my wallet feels a lot lighter after the purchase ... !!! :roll:
@mamba, see we cant get the best phone in any price range, all phones have their own advantages and limitations.
Go for 6630 or D500, whichever suits you better.
Cheapest is 3220.
recommend some nokia/sony ericsson fone models upto a price range of say 21k... both with symbian nd non-symbian ....
can u plz tell me the current mumbai market prices of these mobiles (NEW)
Nokia 6610
Nokia 6610i
Nokia 3220
suggest any other good fone in the price bracket of Rs.5500 to Rs.6000
Nokia 6610 --> 6k
6610i-->7.5k
3220--> 9k
All these three phones are not in the bracket of 5.5-6k. :D
Have u seen LG 1600?
It has:
- GPRS
- MMS
- IR
- Voice recorder
- 65k color; 16 chord polyphonic ringtones.
WE can clearly see that it got better features than 6610 in the 6k range, but i suggest u 6610.
My order of preference:
6610>LG 166> samsung c200
22k was the cost which due to the offer we could pay it off in 6 installments.
Good, u asked for a phone under 11k and u got a one which is twice the price wrt your budget :D
Ok, u dont like Nokia phones (and i still remember u, and the Nokia versus SE thread and btw that choice of T610 or 6610i dude (not k500i, and dont act smart ;) )
No use telling other phones than SE for u!
I will go for 6630 in this budget or Samsung D500 in the phones u have mentioned....
Get K7500i dude, that will suit ur needs but it may cost in excess of 24k (pradeep's post said so).
two - 1) SE k508i
2) SE k300i
my problem is - i am having trouble choosing one.
i have listed below the pros and cons of the two models.
which phone do you think i should buy and why.
1) SE k508i
+ better,bigger,clearer TFT display.
+ been around for a year, so many applications,games are available.
+ cover for the cam lens.
- got no more features than the k300i.
- yawning gap in the joy-stick lets dust in.
2) SE k300i
+ got all the features of k508i.
+ cheaper by around Rs.1200.
+ better design and looks (according to me).
+ better battery backup due to non-TFT (STN) display.
- dull screen (how bad is it really?).
- no cover for cam lens.
if i buy the k300i,i will buy a data cable with the money(Rs.1200)
i save.
Please help me decide quickly.
someone pls tell me
which is the best mobile under 10 k? and how much will cost for a samsung d500. what is the cost of SE j300 i, k500i
Most of my friends who have Samsung Mobile Phone like SGH-C100,600 etc. ask me to transfer wallpapers, ringtones etc thru IrDA link. I have an IrDA device attached to my PC thru USB interface, and it is quite easy to transfer files from PC to mobile and vice versa to NOKIA or SONY ERRICSSON PHONES.Even these phones can transfer files to each other thru their Ir link, but I never succeded on Samsung . Is there any software like PC SUIT etc for these phones available? If so where to get it ? Or any other settings to be changed to do so ? Kindly help.

I've just started earning, and plant to spend all of my 2nd salary on mobile phones/mp3 players. I'm torn between moto rzr v3 & k750i. None of my frns have it. STYLE IS VERY IMPORTANT, but at the end of the day i should nt feel i paid too much. Or some other phone, budget limit is 20k.
Definetly K750i is better than V3. V3 looks good but it has less features, get K750i or 6630 for around 20k.
i need to gift a phone. budget is 10k. compulsory to have FM and colour-screen, all other features will be bonus.
Suggest a phone other than nokia. budeget is 10k max.
Kind of urgent , please reply asap.
also wht r the other accessories i need to tak???also wht r the things i need to look while buying a QD.........my comp supports usb 2.0(asus a7v-400mx mobo)...
Hmm..U can go for N GAGE QD itself, as both 6600 and n gage QD as both are symbian and almost most of the features are same but N gage QD dont has a CAM/video recorder and also it's a 4k LCD.
BUt there is a 4K price difference....
GO in for a 2nd hand NOKIA 6600 !!!
if ur lucky u might get ur hands on one for that price !!!!
CHEERS !!!
had they priced it @ 18 ... WOW ... shud have been a deal!!!
LOL, u yourself along with pradeep said it could cost around 24k :D
hi, every one i m a new user, plz tell me which of the mobile is better Nokia 6600 or K 700i
I like 6600 personally. :D
But it too has disadvantages.
- no FM/Mp3 playback (but can be done with third party spftwares)
- low speaker volume
- slow processor (but with more memory of MMC it's a bit faster)
And with k700i, we have:
- no expandable memory
- bad keypads (IMO)
- no symbian OS
- Night mode cam quality is not that good
- compactibilty issues
So see the pros and cons and decide. I personally will go for 6600 :P
Buy your phone with bill and insurance-always pays. Between the 7710 and the 6630, choose the one which offers you all that you expect from a phone. If I'm not mistaken, the 6630 is cheaper than the 7710 but the 7710 offers more features. At the same time, the 7710 has no keypad so make sure you are comfortable with that before buying it.
6610 - 5800
6610i - 7100
3220 - 7400
clearly 6610 fits in your budget...:)
Am planning to buy Sony Ericsson/Nokia/Samsung Cell...
Budget : 7000-9000... Can be stretched till 10K
2 essential features:
Good MP3 player
FM Radio
Blue Tooth/Infra Red
Expandable memory.. would be good so that i can increase MP3 collection..
No need of cam and gprs
Thought about N-guage QD but its bulky..and i dont like the looks...
so anyone got anything in mind... pls lemme know...
Phones with mp3 playback:
Moto E398 --> it's the best! It got all the features u had asked for. Rs. 9k or less.
Check out my review here:
http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15977
Nokia 3300 (but nokia stopepd it)
LG 1800 --> no MP3 card slot, 64 mb memory, and no IR/BT.
1) What is this edge technology ? how is it different from others...
EDGe --> Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution
It's like broadband internet for mobiles. EDGE enables GSM operators to offer higher-speed mobile-data access, serve more mobile-data customers. We can use our EDGe phone as modems and use it in ur PC. Also streaming audio/video clips.
2) Are flash cards synonym for memory card. Which different kinda memory cards are used nowadays.. in normal phone.. and which one is better (overall considering price also)
There is nothing called which is better over others. All have their own advantages and disadvantage.
We use MMC more, all nokia phones support this. Moto,SE use memory. duo. The flash cards can used in other digital device like digi cam.
3) Can i use this Flash memory or memory card (Consider the card as card used in N guage) as data storage with help of Card reader... i mean not only songs but.. my can i store my other data in it.. and use as USB pen Drive..
N gage uses MMC.
Yes u can use the card reader with MMC. Yes not only songs, u can store other data as well..
and u can't use it as a USB pen drive, in that case u need a card reader to be connected to the USB port of your computer. But yes, we can use in case u got this additional thing.
4) What are the costs for the USB Pen drive which i can use as a MP3 player(in bult) and data storage too... pls tell prices for 64/128/256 MB storage capacity
We can store mp3 but we cant use them for nokia mobile phones.
USB pen drives prices:
64mb--> 550rs.
128 mb-->900rs
256mb -->1.6k
1gb--> 2.5-2.7k
5) What are different available gadgets similar to USB Pen drive and which one is better ?(keep in mind the price also)
We have
- memory duo
- MMC
- flash cards.
As i have said, each one got different applications and has their own advantage and limitations. MMC and flash cards are almost the same. the only difference is that former is used in mobs and the later in digi cams and other things.
I am getting this phone very soon
m plannin 2 buy 1 myself , if k750i aint without no glitches . atleast , nokia have a lot of service centres compared 2 only a few of s-e

hi
can u plz tell me the current mumbai market prices of these mobiles (NEW)
Nokia 6610
Nokia 6610i
Nokia 3220
suggest any other good fone in the price bracket of Rs.5500 to Rs.6000
The best buy is 3200
I would rate
3200 (Keypad may not suite everyone's test)
6610i (It is costly but have 4MB memory)
6610 (Best looks and low cost)
3220 (Bad, no IR, no FM, but best screen 64k colors)
I prefer 3200 coz u can transfer images and ringtones through IR to and from other phones which is not possible in 6610.
Also 6610 and 3200 are equally priced at 6-6.5K, 3200 being few hundred bucks cheaper, and it is a camera phone too.
3200 also has a flash light if u need in case of dark night ;)
U may also check out LG b2000

I want to know if i can coonect internet on PC using GPRS through this phone
also are there any issues with the joy-stick?
also tell me if u had any other problems with the phone.
Gnubox provides free unlimited intrenet access through s60 phones at speeds
of nearly 40Kbytes/sec through data call(CSD) by BT,Infrared or datacable
however for a little over 10k, you may consider Motorola E398.
Pros:
+ Expandable Memory
+ Good MP3 player
+ VGA Camera (not important in ur case)
+ Bluetooth / USB cable
Cons:
- No FM (But you may buy compactible FM handsfree)
Else if you can lay your hands on a second hand 6230. It should be the ideal choice for you.
1. weight ..... 6630 - 127gms
750 - 99gms
2. size 6630 - 176 x 208 pixels
750 - 176 x 220 pixels ... looks like SE have smaller screen than Nokia...is this resolution or the screen size??
3. battery ... MOST important
6630 - Standard, Li-Ion 900 mAh (BL-5C)
Stand-by Up to 264 h
Talk time Up to 3 h
750 - Standard battery, Li-Po 900 mAh (BST-36)
Stand-by Up to 400 h
Talk time Up to 9 h
9 hours of talk time as compared to 3 hours !!!!!
explain !!!!!!!!!
EDIT >> one more SERIOUS issue ... NO FM ?????
BUt pls tell more models
Check out my review here:

where can i get E398 for 9k or less.
U also wrote in ur review that it has some serious issues with bluetooth.
How serious??
THX For answer
Lol, wht? We are doing u a favour, remember that..., this thread will be moved there..., wait and see, i have reported it..
A mp3 player in a Cell for 7-8k? The only options are N gage and 3300 , which nokia stopped manufacturing.... And both are not a 65k color screens also. Also u said u need it as a modem also? i dont think N gage does that.
The only options is 6610i which can be connected to PC as a modem. It dont has a 65k or mp3 player.
Why dont u get a LG mobile which has a mp3 player but i dont think u get within 7-8k...
Well the k750i is expected in india in the second week of May according to local bangalore stores (not very reliable i must add) Cost arround Rs 25000/- Approx
D500--> rs. 20k
K500i--> rs. 9.5k
Best mobile under 10k:
Nokia 3660
SE k500i
IT COME IN THAT PRICE RANGE !!!
THE GAME CARD CAN BE CHANGED FOR AN MMC CARD SO U CAN GET MUCH MORE SPACE !!!
CHEERS !!!! :wink:
can any one tell me what is the problem about connecting my 6610i nokia set with pc through a dku5 data cable.i have downloaded the driver from nokia website and tried on both win 98 & win xp.whenever i am connecting the cable my computer is giving the message new hardware found 'usb to serial', i am trying to give the driver following all the process described in the nokia website but nothing comes fruitfull.my comp specification is intel p III 1.1ghz.
please help me out.
Ok, i searched:
http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17764&highlight=d500
@mamba, will K750i be under 20k? Even i thought so but pradeep said (he enquired somewhere) it will cost 24k.
iwant to buy either nok 6630 and nok 7710..which one shd i go 4.....also why do ppl prefer nok phones???becoz of better resale value or wht????

25k as pointed by pradeep is just tooo high to spend ..
when after 3 months u'll find that its down by 4k ...!!!
so iam looking for sumthing similar to features like that of 750i .. but BELOW 20k!!
i have a Sony Ericsson K500i phone.
i want to know whether a USB cable would connect my phone to a Computer?
also Whether my phone can play video clips like Windows Media etc.
(my phone is mp3 Compatible)
The mobile, which i saw that BT issues with PC, and many can justify it. I think it's corrected now. That was a old piece. With USB, i dont think there will be any problem.
and yes..even other phones which u think are suitable for me (FM,MP3,Bluetooth/USB/Ir - 10K ) lemme know..
E 398
LOl, i think thats the only phone i know with FM,MP3,Bluetooth/USB/Ir and under 10k :P
1) Consider General USB Drive we use for Data Transfer and Storage
What are the costs for the USB Pen drive which i can use as
a MP3 player(in built) and data transfer/storage too...
I mean the ones in which its just a USB stick and we can attach a earphone and can hear the mp3
(dr.grudge i guess u misinterpreted my question before)
Something like that exists rite ??
Yes, i misinterpreted last time around.
YEs, it exists but i dont know how much it will cost. The normal USB pen drive can be used to store files and the rates is mentioned in the my post in the previous page.
2) Is there a big difference between.. mono mp3 player and stereo mp3 player...
Which one's nguage supporting..coz i heard the music thru N-guage...was not bad..!!! though not overjoyed but was not bad not to listen...what say..
N gage QD is mono only. But it's loud. U got to go to store and then listen to E398 and then other phones to see it's quality.
Yes, there is a difference btw mono and stereo. Listen to E398 u will know :D
hey can any of ya guys post K750i review.. I know its outta my budget.. but still curious... heard a lot of it... Dr.grudge..nemi.. give it a try...i guess u both shuld give ur reiviews.. its not like competition..u both are good at ur level...just different views ..
Yeah :twisted:
But where will i go for the mobile. I have not seen and played with K750i as yet :D
Check out my review here:

where can i get E398 for 9k or less.
U also wrote in ur review that it has some serious issues with bluetooth.
How serious??
Many ppl have got E398 for aroound 9k itself.
We can't transfer some Data to PC. Thats what i found. Phone to phone is ok.
hey pradeep.....u listening man....run for the stores .... nd do lemme know the price...i'll be grabbing it in 1/2 days!!!!
hey,
any one owning k508i........????
pls send me comments on this fone....abt its price ,features and..DRAWBACKS..
PostPosted: Wed May 11, 2005 4:18 pm Post subject: k508i.... :(
:idea: You cannot connect ur 6600 without Bluetooth or Infrared. You will need one of these hardwares to connect the phone to ur PC. Use bluetooth instead of infrared.
I mean the ones in which its just a USB stick and we can attach a earphone and can hear the mp3
(dr.grudge i guess u misinterpreted my question before)
Something like that exists rite ??
Dipen
yes something like those do exists but i doub't their playback quality. They become quite bulky and heavy for a pen drive (due to the battery).
comes in the range of 3k for 256mb.
however i will not recommend tht. Mainly becouse of the sound quality and bulky dimensions. One of my friend onws one. He always have a tough time connecting it to his desktop due to limited space around the USB port.
I'll suggest you go for as small a USB key as possible. Simmtronics is a good one. Comes for around 1200 for a 256MB key.
This is so tempting... is this from Authorized Sony Ericsson Dealer?
Is the scheme from SE or is it from dealer? Can I get this here in mumbai?
thanx for all u reviews and advices...thanx.. Dr.Grudge..supernova.. that was cool piece of info in my case.. keep it up..
Whats the inbuilt memory of E-398...and is it supporitng MMC... and yea about bluetooth issues.. as u said.. theres some prob for transfering data from phone to PC via bluetooth ... so can we do it thru USB..or it has probs there also... lemme know..
and yes..even other phones which u think are suitable for me (FM,MP3,Bluetooth/USB/Ir - 10K ) lemme know..
Some more doubts...

Ya, 24K for K750 is too much
Whats D500 price?And S700 price?Also is 6230i available in India?Whats price of 6230i?
recommend some nokia/sony ericsson fone models upto a price range of say 21k... both with symbian nd non-symbian ....
Nokia
7610 (16k)
6670 (16k)
3230 (17k)
6630 (19.5k)
7710 (23k :( ) ; but it's a very good for this range.
SE
S700i (20k)
K750i (22-24k :( ) ;yet to hit in markets.
There is not much of difference btw 7610/6670. 6630 is a sort of executive/ business walla phone.
7710 , thou a get costly for ur range/budget, it's a very good buy (better than k750i IMHO).
There is not much of a choise for SE.
So get a nokia, maybe 6630 :D
Consider D500 man, it's a good slider walla phone and looks stylish :D
hmmm...i think i'll be going for 6630 .. in this additional applications frm net can be installed rite???
wow ... a last minute change !!! i was going for sony k750i ...
but heard on a lot of forums of unstable firmware...freezes etc ...
ohh by the way it is launched in india..avaialble in delhi at a price tag of 21450/- .. the dealer was giving me for 19700/- ....
ny known problems with 6630????
nd xpress on covers are avaialble or not????
ny chance of price dropping further for 6630????
whats the standard standby time for nokia 6630? I used to get about 24 hrs.
Got the phone just 2 weeks back.
Once i read somewhere that if you remove the battery and keep it for some time (10 min), the phone ram gets cleared and stops any programs (mostly badly written third party softwares/ trialwares) that might be running in the background. These programs do not show up even when you hold the menu key.
I think it really works. Standby time jumped to about 40 - 44 hours. Thats nearly double.
Is it justifiable? Has anybody experienced this?
TIA

thnx
Same question again.... any one....????
Always get a phone with warranty. It is worth it.
You can look for phillips 530 and 630 phones.
Else stretch your budget a bit to 13K and get a kool SonyEricsson K700i.
And you also have option to attach FM handsfree kit to your phones (original kit, not that cheap 200 Rs kit). In that case SonyEricsson T290/T610/T630/K300i/K500i and Motorola E398 will be great buy.
Also check LG and Siemens phone, I have no idea about them.
Yes its from a SE authorized dealer. I dont know if the scheme is available in other places. Sorry mate.
Camera and radio alone?
WOW 7k is enough man!
Nokia 6610i is the answer.
Choice:
SE k500i :D
@grinning_devil,
6630 costs 19.5k to 20k only. When the dealer gives the k750i for lesser price then i think it's a grey market piece. Even raven got 6260 for 17.5k even the phone was released in India.
And 6630 is a symbian phone which means u can install apps man. So u can get a radio app which plays FM (it's internet radio and needs GPRS).
That battery thing can be misleading..., nokia is known for it's good batery and reliability of the same.
No Xpress on covers for it and also for k750i also :D
also are there any issues with the joy-stick?
also tell me if u had any other problems with the phone.
Hey man i have a SE k500i.
average battery lasts for around 2 days and if u surf the net of play games more than often then only a day or more if ur lucky
also the joystick in k500i tends to harden a bit making it a bit awkward to use after a couple of months.
i think the joystick in k700i is a bit more sophisticated( easy to use)
have you heard the sound w.r.t stereo from an E398 ? My brother has a K750i and when compared the bass effect on the E398 is much better!. Listen to it o believe it.
also are there any issues with the joy-stick?
also tell me if u had any other problems with the phone.

if yes , then 4 how much ??
what does it cost indubai ??
installings apps is definately a gud point in 6230...but the screen is nothing compared to that of se...
nd most important .. i DO need fm...NOT frm gprs...
nd lookwise also iam inclined towards 750i ...
lets see .......
i was just looking for the rates of new mobiles on the net, and the only places i could find was ebay.in and shopping.rediff.com. Could u guys suggest some sites where i could get prices for latest gadgest in INDIAN RUPEES.
I've just started earning, and plant to spend all of my 2nd salary on mobile phones/mp3 players. I'm torn between moto rzr v3 & k750i. None of my frns have it. STYLE IS VERY IMPORTANT, but at the end of the day i should nt feel i paid too much. Or some other phone, budget limit is 20k.
Looking fwd to hearing from u guys. :D
D500 is rs. 20k or less
S700 is 21k or less
6230i is not yet available. maybe around 20k.
i am not surprised by your veiw...
since wen you want to do more from a instrument rather than a telephone instrument,.. u r tend 2 say so.
btw u cant compare the screen with the
computer screen
As it's said, u will take time getting used to the type of that widescreen and using touchpad.
I guess upto 4gb can be added, but yes 1gb would do fine.
3230 is also good..
Have 1.3 Mega Pixel camera, mp3, 1 hour video recording, Bluetooth, IrDa,
Image Resolution:1280x960 pixels.
dunno wats its cost, some1 plz. post that?
nd hareesh by the way next time ur posting try to be a lil polite!! no body mind answering ur query but only those will reply who have ur set ...
its a "social friendly" service rather than a paid tech support!!!
any one owning k508i........????
pls send me comments on this fone....abt its price ,features and..DRAWBACKS......
damn damn !!
the wait is killing me ...
checked with dealers today nd been told that sony k750i will be out by week end or say by saturday...its stuck @ customs!!!!!
expected price tag told to me by 5 delhi dealers is between 22 to 24k !! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Also I have a SE Z600, i need a bluetooth headset for it, does it matter if its from SE or Nokia, i mean compatible.
I'd posted a topic about a year back abt whether to go for T610 or K700i. I eventually went for the T610(ya, i know, silly me)
Time for a new fone again, and I've got quite a few on the list
Well, my budget is around 18K(Might be extended to 20, but not confirmed)
I was eyeing the S700i, awesome features, but slightly uncomfortable to work with(for me, atleast)
I don't mind getting the K700i even now, because I absuloutely adore that fone, but I don't think it'll be worth it getting it now, especially if I have a much bigger budget
Should I go for the S700i, inspite of it being slightly uncomfortable?
Samsung D500 and Nokia 6230i are also options, but I dont like the Samsung interface and 6230i has a smaller screen
K750i would be the ideal fone, but I think its a bit beyond my budget, right?
Could someone pls help me with my decision?U can suggest other fones as well...
But pls don't suggest 6600 or 7610, i hate them both(Dont give me the symbian argument, I don't care that much for that remote control c**p)
Also, could someone post lowest prices(w/o bill) of K700i, S700i, D500, 6230i and K750i in Mumbai?
Sorry for the long post...
Do u have any idea where is this Stech comp... coz.. it would be difficult for me to find... the only store.. though i will check the prices from other shops too..
and yeah are u sure Simtronics is nice brand...(guys any views)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can anyone tell if these handsets have expandable memory i.e memory card slots and FM's coz when i checked at Nokia's site.. the features given there are confusing.. i mean they arent specifying how much inbuilt memory and all.. so may be if any of ya guys know...
pls let me know..
Samsung - E630, Sony Eric- Z600, Nokia -6020 , 6820 , 6220 , 3660
Cheers...
Dipen
can u suggest ne other ph under 20k which is reaaly worth the moolah ?? ( thought k750i was )
would there b much diff in prices here & in dubai ??
