ok guys ive been away from mobiles for some time now and hence i need your help in choosing one.
here is what i want
my budget is around 370$
should be a music oriented phone with a decent cam like 2MP with AF(if possible light too) and should have a nice screen to watch some tv shows and the storage should be expandable to atleast 8 gb.
and is Wifi at this budget asking too much?
id prefer SE or even Nokia.
and how is that model of samsung with 3d surround?

thankyou

How about the W910? It covers most of your preferences (except AF and light). I think you'll be able to get it for $370 now.
And yes, Wifi at that price is asking too much.

There is the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic

It goes for something like 300-400$. It has a 2.2" screen and a 3.2mpx AF camera, but the memory is only expandable to 4GB.

Well i think it's a tad more expensive, but yes, every SE phone can playback 30fps (from the newer ones, that is).

I have considered your query carefully, after analyzing various options, I'm glad to recommend u

The P1i which costs around 300usd, While G900 & w960(comes with 8gb) would cost around 400-440usd.

No you keep the P1 firmware... You just open access to system folders and port the W960 media player to P1. Then you have both players, the built in one and the W960's walkman... And it is fully functional without any issues...

what features??The Walkmans provide much better features for a music phone with Sense me and auto-playlists and more.

Test Frequency Noise range THD IMD + Noise Stereo

Sony K850 +0.21, -1.04 -85.7 88.8 0.014 0.030 -84.8
Nokia N81 +0.39, -1.13 -86.6 95.8 0.041 0.040 -69.9

These figures taken from gsmarenas review clearly shows that even the k850 kicks N81's ass bigtime.
