Best 10-15K Phones
Frazier Barretto, Mar 17, 2008 1550 hrs ISTSix nifty phone models for those who seek rich features on a budget
 |
Last week we featured the best available options in mobile phones with a ten thousand rupee threshold on their price, but if you've got more than 10K to splurge for your cell phone- here are a few models we would recommend a sincere look at.
This segment of mobile phones (price ranging between 10,000 to 15, 000 rupees) witnesses the maximum competition since all leading cell phone manufacturers tout their sleekest models in this price range. As a result - this segment also creates a lot of confusion amongst buyers - more choice, more trouble isn't it? Well, not to worry now - we know exactly what you should go for - and here's our list of worthy buys.
Nokia 5610 XpressMusic
The Nokia 5610 XpressMusic handset, priced around Rs.12,000, now becomes more affordable than it's market entry price of 14.5 K. It offers a large 2.2-inch screen and a 3.15MP camera with flash. A slider-phone this, its horizontal slider below the screen is the most unique feature of 5610. It lets you alternate between Music Player and the FM tuner. The phone, though touted to be all about music, packs a mere 512MB card; a 1GB would do much justice to the core purpose of this phone. A 3G ready phone, it also offers EDGE and supports wireless stereo output for a Bluetooth headphone. Though I must admit, at this price, you do have the choice to pick up a Walkman phone from Sony Ericsson - the W580i; in terms of sound quality the Sony is better but if you consider features as well--the 5610 is the final choice.
Nokia E51
The Nokia E51 was the much awaited upgrade to the Nokia E50. The E51 is everything you would ask for in a business phone, and is now available at a street price of Rs.12,200. Its' a quick smartphone, weighs just 100 grams, and packs 3G & Wi-Fi with support for EDGE as well. The phone has a 2MP camera, FM radio, Music Player and Bluetooth with A2DP profile (supports wireless stereo output for a Bluetooth headphone). The battery life here is pretty good - can last you close to two days easily. A really good business companion I must say.
