Nokia 5800
The Nokia 5800 was the mobile that was released in competition to the then freshly released iphones. With a music player that gives the iphone itself a run for its money, looks like the nokia 5800 is here to stay.
Anyone who has used a Nokia phone will swear by it. These phones have achieved the well deserved reputation as sturdy, user friendly dependable phones.And to add to all of that, we now have great looks too!

Nokia 5800 basically targeted for Music lovers. But Nokia 5800 also offers latest technologies like 3G, GPS big touchscreen etc.And if that does not tempt you enough, the 3.2 MP carl Zeiss lens camera with a 3X digital zoom should do you in.
Samsung i780
Samsung i780 is windows 6 mobile. This is recommended for users who receive and send a lot of emails. The querty keypad allows for easy texting.

| Standby time | Up to 400 h |
| Camera | 2 MP camera |
| Memory | 4gb microSD (TransFlash) |

The quality of the audio and keypad can at best be given an average. One thing that really works for th phone is its flawless display screen.
The full-QWERTY Pocket PC Samsung i780 sure takes after its forerunners but is keen to bring to the table more processing power, 3.6 mbps HSDPA topped with WLAN support, and that square touchscreen display. This smartie is also a tad above the other fellows in terms of design, if you will.
Now, the subject of our review Samsung i780 is in that bunch but not quite, being the only PocketPC in the lot. Other Windows Mobile Pro devices seem nowhere in sight for the near future, with the two most recent i-series announcements both running on Windows Standard. The QWERTY slider Samsung i640 has just been released, while the low-key Samsung i200 is still cooking.
LG COOKIE
Price : Rs 10489
The LG KP500 is a touchscreen phone for those on a budget. It’s a compact device but with a large touchscreen display that’s easy and fun to use. It’s a compact device but with a large touchscreen display that’s easy and fun to use. With a 3.2 megapixel camera, a media player, an FM radio, Bluetooth wireless connectivity and a memory card slot, this phone has all the essentials. Although it misses out on 3G and a top class camera, it has most features that most people will want, and for the money you’d be hard pressed to find anything better than this!

The E series mobile phones from Nokia are known for being business-oriented. Keeping with the series, Nokia E71 targets the business users with enhanced connectivity and support for corporate e-mail push services.The Nokia E71 also comes with a 3.2 mega pixel camera with auto-focus and LED flash.
For those of you who are interested in mobiles with large screen must surely go for Nokia E71 for its 2.4 QVGA screen with a self-portrait mirror.
Available with a stainless steel case, etched graphics and available in two colors – grey steel or white steel – the Nokia E71 bears the hallmarks of Nokia quality and craftsmanship.
Perhaps the only drawbacks in this phone is the lack of a good music player.
