Its 18,250 Rs with bill and warranty in delhi.... I bought it today!
Its a great phone and apart from ringtone speaker volume being low and absence of EDGE, its a great great phone and gives you everything you would ever want in a mobile phone.

P.S Price without bill is around 14k's

The "Nokia 3110 Classic" is quite good. It has large keypad and the font used for on-screen display is also quite big. My mom who is 55 has no complaints with it. Moreover it comes with IR, Bluetooth, 1.3 mp camera, FM radio and Music player.

Thinking of buying the Nokia 8800 Sirocco gold.
Anyone's done any research on this? I'm not a big user of the optionsfeatures, just use as a cell phone, so am not looking at the E90, kind of features.

A friend uses the 8800 (the "regular" one with stainless steel body). I've never handled a better-built phone. It feels like it is hewn from a single hunk of steel. And it looks a whole lot more imposing in person than in pictures.

He's been using it for the past 8 months at least, and it has acquired no scratches or dings (he doesn't exactly abuse the phone, but then he isn't too careful with it either). The glass of the display is scratch-proof.

Features-wise don't expect anything. It runs same the plain-vanilla Series 40 software that non-Symbian Nokia phones run. So it is as good as the regular Nokia phones, and no more.

This phone is more about the bling-factor than anything else. The Scirocco is a little extra bling, with the gold finish and all. But nobody is going to miss that phone in your hand. I personally prefer the stainless-steel of the regular 8800 or the liquid-chrome-black of the other version (I forget the name).

Didn't the Scirocco have a battery problem?

They are offering it with 2 batteries, a desk top charger and matching blue tooth. All to induce stupid people like me for a change at a fancy price, with a 24 month extended warrantie.
Just told the Nokia dealer to send me one , too impatient, you know me by now!

The regular 8800 had poor battery problem (I used to own one). The Scirocco has a more powerful battery and is much more bare able than non Scirocco 8800

Off topic as well as On topic can someone guide me to a shop which will buy back old phone? In bangalore.

[devarshi84]

there is nothin good in the 8800 or the sirocco excep the parts its made off.

1 Due to the steel, it needs a more powerful antenna which in turn needs a more powerful battery. Battery life still sucks.

2. No real features and not even an expandable memory.

3. My skin got cut trying to close the slider with one hand. This happened on more than one occasion.

kooldude, have you looked at the HTC Touch? Ive been using it for the last couple of weeks after i lost my blackberry pearl. Its a pretty impressive phone with all the features you'll need. The only drawback is that its completely touhscreen so if youre using it while drving is slightly cumbersome.
