erm z200 costs more than t230? wow i didn't know that! lol thanks about that i don't even look at regular prices just on contracts and in my country you can get two z200 for a nokia 3100 and t230 isn't that cheaper (10 dollars)
so sorry i didn't know you were looking at "normal" prices....

btw motorola isn't that good i used it (yeah the screen is nice and the camera too but what else?!?)
if you ask me go for the nokia 3100 i used both (t230 and 3100) and yeah it's true that se has better poly tones and a better build quality (erm 3100 is quite strange if you are in a dark room) BUT the features of 3100 overweight that in my opinion

btw what about p900?

The 3100 sure as hell is easier to use than any SE I've tried (Z200, Z600, T300, T310, T230, T610, T630).

It's probably a lot faster for SMSing, has a speakerphone, a better screen, Java support, no ascending ringtone, ability to use any MIDI as message alert.. if I was to buy a low end phone, the only SE I'd consider over the 3100 would be the Z200 but the 3100 beats it when it comes to features.

@mmsman when you say the nokia has way too many features what do you mean? It has foolw a few more pixels and java. And se has better quality, no squeaky covers! Thousand times better polys! Mophun is super if ya ask me. And easily available. Tagtag.com/seplace and gamepower.us for instance! Trust me the girli won't want to trade quality for stupid flashy covers, unreliable software and java. Also if she gets the MCA30 she would have a god cam phone(as you know the MCA's have always been better.higher res .

Of course i have comments! Ask any indian and he will tell you to get a nokia :-D. But i tell you, i like to do a head to head comparo! So the 68i is totally chucked out! Now if you wanna trade the se for a few more pixels, java don't cry later that you miss the super mms capabilities and the better cam, better polys better os, better built. Come on someday we have to wake up. Don't in to the dark side. I'm sick of this people being persistent about the nokia being leader. Hell. two cents ;-);-);-)

. i just checked out 3 prime dealers in bangalore, no one is even talking much on fones.. . quite sad.. they just blindly telling me to go for 3100..

i will have to rely on my instincts.. and btw.. they also say .. GPRS on nokia fones is the fastest.. (those dont know a thing about how mms works on nokia fones.. . ).

yeah gprs on blokia's is also quite crashy! I say this because i owned a
blokia 3530.. and was a heavy wap user! So after few days the phone went to the auto switch off mode! And yes after some days it went to the auto white out mode following the auto blackout mode

3530 is a low end Series 30 phone (they are the worst), the OS doesn't have much in common with 3100's Series 40 (which has been hugely improved in terms of stability since 7210, 6610, 6100, 6800, 7250, 3300, 6220 etc).

just a couple o hours ago i had been to a fone shop and saw the both fones 3100 and t230 and checked their displays..

At the outset, 3100 is very bad looking .. looked to me like a plastic toy where t230 was looking more elegant and compact. I guess there lies the difference.. and regarding the displays.. 3100 actually had a clearer display with sharp text which i didn find the same in t230 (even when i put the text size to small), otherwise t230 was ok in other functions like sms and menu manuevering..

t230 is a bit slow but its ok as it has half the memory of t610.

all in all i am pretty satisfied with the t230 over n3100.
Hail
