Did you check the price? WHat are they telling? Usually, you'll need to bargain ferociously to get a good deal. Amd, also check the phone thoroughly before giving the greens(Money) to them as once the money is in their hands, then nothing can be done.
 
been to grey....gettin the 3530 for bout 5800/ grey piece n 6200/ for a company warranty.......4850/ for a 2nd hand one....
3100 is goin for bout 8000/ with 1yr warranty!!!.......found out at the priority store too......the have a finance options....have to pay bout 600/ for 3530 or 800/ for 3100 a month for 8 months!!!

im still thinkin!!!!
 
Yeah,.. the 3530 is a s30 phone... so the games u downloaded should be able to work.... :thumbsup: Yeah,.. there is lots of s30 games here but there are more s40 games,... so if u might want a s40 phone,... a 6610's cheap and good,... (just a suggestion though...)

Ur from India too? a member here called ski_power's also from India,... so u if u need help,.. u might want to ask him,...:p

btw,.. great 1st post...!!!! Enjoy:thumbsup:

Howdy vikod,
Don't buy a 3510i(this is available here) or a 3530. My frineds(different obviously) have got both. It isn't very appealing. Like @ndres says, get a S40 phone.
Since you thought of 3530, you obviously didn't have:
1. Infra Red.
2. GPRS Modem.
3. Good screen resolution.
in mind.
If you really don't want ir and gprs modem, i would suggest a 3100, as it is a basic S40 phone. Moving higher I would suggest a 6610 instead of 7210, as it's more ergonomic(not sure of spelling!!!) to use.

(PS: Bro is pestering, so later more in this!)
 
They aren't really much difference between a 6610 and 7210 except for their keypad,... so it doesn't really matter which one u get,.... either one's fine...
 
don't think man, get atleast a series 40 phone, as the series 30 ones will become obsolete in about 3 months
 
hey thx all u guys for the respo.....

chek out the link...wish i could get this here in india....maybe bazee.com ???
 
any ideas on what difference is there between s30 n s40 series......coz after comparin 3530 n 3100 on the nokia website...i dont see much of a difference!!
 
@ndres is right. There's a 6610 and a Samsung C100.
I got the 6610 by my greedy side. But later I got myself a C100. The only problem with my C100 is that Orange don't allow downloads of Java games to Samsung Phones. Only Nokias.
If you want all that goody goody features but no games then go for C100, as it only lacks MMS. It's got a Hi-Res screen which kicks even the 6610. And it can compare feature to feature with the 6610 (except for the FM radio).
It's got GPRS Modem also.
BUT Orange does not allow games download to Samsungs. If you ever get hold of a C100, then try downloading a game and check if the operators over there allow game download to Samsungs, as from your first post I feel that you want to get a phone for Entertainment.
If you are getting a samsung phone, then remember that you can't use the PC suite for game downloads. Only GPRS. Also go for AirTel. Their GPRS is a tad expensive per month Rs. 600/- but then you can download games for it. I'm not sure if Nokia Games will work or not.

EDIT: For Nokia S40 games, you can go to
http://groups.msn.com/nokiagames
These guys have a HUGE collection(even more than CPF), of S30, S40, and S60 games.

Or best, indulge and get Nokia 3100 and use the orange monthly Rs.100/- GPRS.

The Choice is yours and yours alone
 
There's a lot of difference. Firstly series 40 has a HUGE game library as compared to series 30. And you are buying a cellie for the gamie.
Next the resolution on the series 40 is much better than the series 30 models.

Series 30=96x65
Series 40=128x128

This means that the images on the S40 will look clearer, and neater. Also, the S40 phones support MMS send and receive while the Series 30 phones support only receiving MMSs.
Overall the series 40 phones will not get obsolete so fast, while the Series 30 phones are already obsolete.

Did This Help?
 
a few quo more!!! (u might think im irritatingly inquisitive....but its hard ya know makin up yer mind :) )

1. how old is 3100??

2. r the prices yet to fall in india??

3. r there any cam fones 'round 8k ??

thx for the patience!!!

cheers
 
Yes you can get decent datacables on baazee, but remember they are not DKU-5. Did you consider the 3100. It's just a little costlier than the 3530, and worth the price.
GPRS modem means that you can connect the phone to the PC and use it as a PC Modem for the Internet. If you use orange then the PC charges would be Rs.499 per month, but would be a waste if the phone doesn't support GPRS modem capability.

3530 supports GPRS class 8. The screen quality of the 3530 is not very good, trust me.
Holy batman, the 3100 now costs Rs. 8500.

This is a budget color phone.
 
i got the 6610 , and it's a great phone !
don't buy any of the series 30 !! they are all sucks
 
looks real kewll......gonna go the grey mkt 2morrow...n chek out the prices there!!!!!........post more info 2morrow...thx again for the suggestions!!!!!
 
a quote from Nokia's web
1. When will the Nokia 3100 phone be available? The Nokia 3100 phone is scheduled for shipping in the fall of 2003

as for the other 2 questions..... i'm sorry i can't answer them cuz i don't know ur currency etc.... ski_ probably would know,...
btw,... isn't 3200 the cheapest cam phone for Nokia so far??
 
The prices of the 3100 should stabilize, now.
The cheapest camera phone is by Motorola E380 or something, but it's Rs.10500/- with Bill and Warranty.
