IF I were to recommend among the 3, it would be w700i.

Quick update, thanks for all your inputs guys, settled on the 6300 because of the weight, thickness & excellent display (16m colors as against the usual 256k) amongst other things.

Now guys, need your help again......suggest a phone in the 6.5 to 8.5k range that has a good camera, bluetooth, USB, reasonable internal memory & card slot and good music player. Obviously lightweight & good looks would be an added advantage (for a teenager)

Would you believe it doesn't have bluetooth - in this day & age! It was on my list but rejected because of this. Thanks for the tip about the other one though, let me check out a few reviews......

Suman.. also have a look at Nokia 6233. Its fully loaded 2 megapixel camera, stereo speakers (awesome one's), VGA resolution video recording, memory card slot, 3G, Mp3 player with A2DP support, Infrared, 320X240 resolution color screen (same as 6300 but with 262k colors) et all... its not very flashy and a bit over the budget at 9k exact!
Have a look.

Mugen_Power · 7th June 2007, 13:20

with extreme_torque. If you have budget of 9k than buy it buddy. you will be more than happy.

anyways here is link for 6233.

extreme_torque · 7th June 2007, 13:37

waah wat a beautiful enticement and praising i say!

But it is true.

So guys tell me a place in Delhi where I can go see a demo of PDAs. I'll be there next week.

And anyone with any experience with the o2 flame or atom life? are they too bloody expensive?

devarshi84 · 7th June 2007, 15:37

yes Mayank,

they are very expensive at the moment. One has a vga screen with nvidia graphics. And yes its available.

extreme_torque · 7th June 2007, 15:50

Guys, Can anyone tell me how do I use an image as operator logo in my Nokia 6233. I have downloaded some operator logos but not able to use them... do i have to copy them to a particular location or folder.

You get HTC phones under the name of DOPOD in India. Most of the new models are available. I just bought the C800 an hour ago

devarshi84 · 8th June 2007, 23:55

not only Dopod but also Imate, O2, Krome and t-mobile(import pieces).

But the new HTC models are purely available as HTC only.
