Top 5 Smartphones

Amongst all the smartphone operating systems out there, Nokia’s Series 60 UI based on the Symbian OS platform is the most popular. I have enlisted the best smartphones that are value based phones too.

Nokia 5500 Sport (Rs. 12,600)

The 5500 comes with special sports activity related features such as dust and splash resistance, stop watch, steps calculator, calorie counter etc., but it is also a very worthy smartphone running the Series 60 3rd Edition UI. It has a smaller 208x208 display, but that just leads to the overall compactness of the phone. It also has a 2 megapixel camera, stereo FM radio, an MP3/AAC player, 64MB of internal memory and a microSD/TransFlash slot, tri-band GSM, GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth and USB. It also has a flashlight if you prefer jogging at night!

Nokia 3250 Rs. 14,000

The 3250 actually deserves a place in the Nseries because of its swiveling, dual-faced phone/MP3 player keypad and a standard 3.5mm stereo jack. A chunky smartphone, it runs the Series 60 3rd Edition UI, comes with a modest 176x208 display, a 2 megapixel digital camera, MP3/AAC player, stereo FM radio, 10mb internal memory, a microSD/TransFlash card slot, tri-band GSM, GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth and USB.

Nokia N72 Rs. 13,000
The N72 is a great budget Nseries phone with everything the feature-hungry user needs. Running the Series 60 UI, the phone comes with a 176x208 display, a 2 megapixel camera with a flash, MP3/AAC player, stereo FM radio, 20mb internal memory and a DV RS-MMC memory card slot, tri-band GSM, GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth and USB. If you don’t like the piano black color, you can always go for the pretty pink variant!
