Let us have a look at the main features of the phone first:
2 Megapixel camera: takes good quality pictures, has got a shutter to protect the camera
Extendable memory: 256MB card included, have up to 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo
FM Radio: Stereo, Reception quality is quite good
Walkman Music Player: music quality with stunning ear phones provided by SE is just best in the market, create your own playlists, can play music for whole day if phone’s other features are switched off.
Games: download as many as you want (internet). supports java games
Looks: stunning...
Now let me to the main point. Price Comparision with other brands.. The current price of W700i is 12000 Rs. with bill.
Samsung D600: has got same features: 16500 Rs. (memory extra)
Samsung D820: 1.3 MP camera, rest is same: 14200 Rs. (memory extra)
Nokia 6681: 1.3 MP camera, No FM: 12500 Rs. (memory extra)
Nokia 6270: 128 MB memory, rest are same: 14000 Rs.
Nokia 3250: same features (however music quality is not that good): 14500 Rs.
Motorola V3i: 1.23 MP camera, no FM: 10000 Rs. (memory extra)
Note: 1.3 MP and 2 MP makes a hell lot of difference....
So just wanna suggest one thing, if you want a phone which is superior to it s peers at the same price and same features, go for W700i. Its a great phone for budget of around 12-14K. btw: I am not a SE dealer :)
