i am about to buy a new cell phone.i have shortlisted
two -
1) SE k508i
2) SE k300i

my problem is - i am having trouble choosing one.
i have listed below the pros and cons of the two models.
which phone do you think i should buy and why.

1) SE k508i

+ better,bigger,clearer TFT display.
+ been around for a year, so many applications,games are available.
+ cover for the cam lens.

- got no more features than the k300i.
- yawning gap in the joy-stick lets dust in.

2) SE k300i

+ got all the features of k508i.
+ cheaper by around Rs.1200.
+ better design and looks (according to me).
+ better battery backup due to non-TFT (STN) display.

- dull screen (how bad is it really?).
- no cover for cam lens.

Please help me decide quickly.

pixel density in K300i is better than one in K500i, but it's STN though. not a really bad one.. it's the best STN i've ever seen in the market.

anyway, if i were you, i'll buy K500i. [addsig]

Go for the 'Twilight Black' K508i ...it looks Good and the 128*160 TFT screen is worth the xtra buck

what about the battery backup of the k508i?

i think the k300i with its CSTN display will have a longer lasting battery.i also heard that the joy stick of the k300i is better..

@nitesh - i think both the handsets have the same 3D gaming engine (they are basically the same phone inside).
