coreSOLO, 06 Apr 2009Hey m@v3r!ck, selecting a phone can be a tough decision wit... moreThx for your reply coreSOLO.
Yes it is quite difficult deciding what to buy ??
What im looking for is phone with best audio quality and good build for 10K.Camera and speed is not a problem unless it is crippling slow.I read somewhere that e8's audio quality is quite close to that of ipod, is it true ??
Also i hope most of the java applications will work on LJ7.
Will i be missing much if i buy an em30 instead??
which will u suggest between em30/5310 XM??
Help is sincerly appriciated.

i just got an E8 for my wife, and somehow, it dials numbers automatically, at odd times.. and picks up thenumber from the address book. even thought i have not programmed the speed dial..
Q2, I also have doubts of the life of the battery, it hardly stays for 2 days ..even though by hardly making 2 or 3 calls..
i feel there is some problem in the os or some configuration, can someone pl advise !!

- if you want music phone with more emphasis on OS speed and good camera (i mean good camrea in 9k category) go for Sony Ericsson (w and k series under 9k)
- if you want to emphasize on good application support, go for nokia 5320XM with Symbian Series 60 and awesome application support. 5310 has series 40 and hence less applications.
- if you want mp3 player grade audio quality, great call quality and that "wow its different" looks, go for E8
Hope it helps :)

I guess you are using... moreHey m@v3r!ck, yes I am using E8 for 4 months now and worked for a mobile gaming firm so have been in touch with almost all the devices. Also, I have been in constant touch with E8 modding community.
Ok back to your questions, i've heard 2 users having weak signal, their problem was corrected at service center. 1 user was having malfunctioning keys, it turned out to be because of a faulty headset. Apart from that, no hardware issues.
I prefer E8 over EM30 because if its sexiness. Mine is still like new, I keep it in a soft pouch.
Talking of speed, E8 interface speed is comparable to N73. Check out videos on youtube to compare yourself. However while playing music more resources are given to sound processing so interface can take 1-2 seconds to respond, but not any longer.
Give me your priority features and budget and i'll try to suggest some other brands too.

you can also bargain at local dealers for more offers
E8's interface speed is same as EM30. Though not as snappy as SE phones, they are not "slow" by any means and you can further fine tune them by modding.
Build quality is same for E8 and EM30 and is "very solid" but being a full reflective panel, E8 is more prone to scratches. So EM30 will do better in this regard. 5310 does not hold any 'build quality' advantages or disadvantages over E8, so i'll leave it to you as a matter of looks.
In sound quality, both 5310 and E8 are AWESOME! But let me try to highlight their sound signatures.
5130's volume is a little louder than E8. E8 is perfect for in-ear earphones, but can be a little low with over-the-ear headphones in noisy areas. On the other hand, E8's sound has more warmth and fidelity. In E8, you can pin point every instrument being played, it sounds crystal clear.
Note that sound quality is same for E8 and EM30.
I've posted some detailed reviews (actually opinions) over various aspects of E8 in previous posts, so dig in for them.

The bad news is that E8 has been discontinued.
The good news is that because of this, lots of sellers are clearing their E8s at very cheap prices. For example in India, you can now get an E8 at 8.5k (earlier it was 12.5k). So dig a little at your local stores and you might come lucky :)

Anonymous, 05 Apr 2009How do i mod my phone? thanks : )It involves downloading and installing a 'modified' firmware for your cell. Check out mmus dot us for full help.
But remember, modding is unofficial.
