@jaggu..thx buddy. E 61i is certainly getting rave reviews on other forums..

@vishal..Agreed. Touch screen and stylus , I can live without as long as the phone has all connectivity options..

Width is more blackberryish IMO..so used to it.also it is supposed to have a very good battery . Other gripes - No GPS , No FM radio , No second camera on the front panel for video conferencing

Still a good package IMO , especialy at 18.8 k with B & W.

But why only with airtel!!

Any idea when it is going to be available in the market?

devarshi84 · 17th June 2007, 10:07

is that with a contract and network locked?

w 12 · 17th June 2007, 10:37

@Mayank - Seems the exclusive contract with Airtel is for 3 months to start with....The product will be available in the open market subsequently.

@devarshi - yes to both ..similar to what hey had with Blackberry earlier

A friend needs to buy a phone under 8K. Main reason for buying phone is that its GPRS should be good. Other normal stuff like mp3, camera etc should be there..

So what are the options under 8K or for 8K

Akshay1234 · 17th June 2007, 21:48

how about a 6230i?? its quite good. plays mp3s and also has infrared and bt.

devarshi84 · 17th June 2007, 22:59

Sonyericsson K750i or w810. Also look at various nokias.
