DCEite · 31st December 2005, 12:42

Guys,
I need your help.

Which is the best mobile i can buy in the 11-12k range. I prefer Nokia over Sony.
Presently i have a k700i, but i need a phone with better camera.

Please leave your honest suggestions.

k750i
thats the best buy...
or nokia 6630..

DCEite · 31st December 2005, 13:58

Psycholyn,
How does k750i differ from k700i? Does it have a better camera? What features make it stand apart..?..
And how does Nokia 6630 comapre to Nokia 3230

PsychoLyn · 31st December 2005, 14:23

lissen
the k750i got a 2 megapixel camera
whereas the 700i got a high grade vga camera

then again the 6630 overall is the successor to the 6600
which broke all boundrys in cell fones
so its anyday betta than the 3230

DCEite · 31st December 2005, 14:46

So can u tell me how much is k750i gonna cost.

k750i will be above your budget quite a bit.
would advise you to get the N6230i or 6630.
I would choose the 6230i as it is easier to use, smaller and has the same 1.3MP camera along with Radio and Push To Talk.

If u can add 3k then get 6680 @ 15K it's better than 6630 it's got 262k,flash,lense cover,2 camera,active display screen !

even the best mobile cameras in the business are not upto the mark.

buddy save some money and get the e398. you wont regret it

and the stereo speakers are really worth it.

IMHO i'd say go for the K750i. Its got all that u need and is worth every penny u shell out. U wont regret a phone with a 2MP cam, Amazing sound quality, Lens cover, Extendable memory n so on... I'd say after using k700, i dont think u'd be satisfied with Nokia's sound quality(personal opinion).

I have the Nokia 6630 since past 11 months..it's a good phone..lots of features,is in your budget.
The Nokia 6230i is also good,but with a smaller screen than the 6630.The 6230i has a few extra features like Radio and PTT.I personally don't like it much because of small screen.If you're planning to use GPRS/EDGE mobile internet on your phone,go for the Nokia 6630..will give a better GPRS experience than the 6230i.
I have no idea about the Sony phones..even I prefer Nokia phones over other brands,although other brands.
But the After Sales Service/Firmware Upgrade is a big hassle at Nokia Authorized Service Centers,since there are very few,and they tell me that I'll have to keep the phone at their Service Center for 10 working days,just for a firmware upgrade !!!..reason for the delay in repairs/upgrade is high volume of customers against the capacity of Nokia service centers !!
I don't think this is the case for after sales repairs/firmware upgrades with other cos. like LG,Samsung,Sony,etc.

no phone camera is better than Sonyericsson. Even the much more expensive nokia N90 with the much rumoured Karl zeiss lens doesnt beat Sonyericsson's 2mp module.

if looks are not a problem then dont spend money on k750i. Go for D750i instead. same phone for lesser price.

Bro,

forget Nokia and Sony, strech ur budget a llittle bit and go in for the Motorazer V3- u wont regret it.....been using this phone for over a year now. Normally I used to change my phone every 6 months, but rite now I dont feel the need at all.
its VGA cam is pretty good as well

Dude if u want to say that v3's cam is better than SonyEricsson's than there is still time to take your words back before the rest of the members here pounce with truth on you.

V3 is a design marvel and the advantages end here. Sorry If I am harsh but that's the truth. V3 is just a design marvel.

No memory support, no megapixel camera, No stereo speakers, no 3g,

Just good display, and good looks.

good build quality and reception with average battery life. Its too common nowadays atleast here in N.America. Each and every person has the Itunes or the razr in hand.

if i had to leave my k700i, it would only be for the k750i ...
it has one of the best cameras out there, and a decent flash as well

of the nokia's i think 6630 has the best so far - leaving aside the very high end N70 and N90
