To request recommendation:

1. Brand: (1) Nokia, (2) SE (Edit: I think stick to Nokia first)
2. Budget: RM300-500
3. Specs: Speaker, Camera, Flash, lasting battery life (no need wifi, 3g, gps, etc..)
4. Type/Size: (1) Candybar, (2) Clam shell

For normal use only ie. calls and sms (must hv bluetooth). Occasionally some pictures, but nothing serious, 2MP or 3.2MP is good enough.

Thanks.

Or Nokia C5?

For a budget phone Nokia C5 seems very nice, acceptable especially the software. Much faster than X3. BUT.... the battery cover design like $hit. Anything can be done about it?

The cover seems so fragile and it does not fully cover the battery... there is a gap and when you hold it in your hands and press the keypads in front, you can feel the spongy battery cover moving at the back. Aduh mak....

1. Brand - Nokia
2. Budget - Anything
3. Specs - 5MP, Flash, Loud speaker during calls (don't listen to music), keypad (no touch screen), bluetooth, other functions are not important but welcomed, like gps, wifi
4. Type/Size - Candybar (or others)

So it's n85 vs n86. Have not look at the phones, but I reckon probably not worth to spend too much just to have 8MP. Used to have n95 with 5MP, and it is good enough. Missed my n95 because the speakers were superb. Even in noisy environment, if I switch on the speaker phone, I can still hear everything and have a proper conversation.

Don't like qwerty keypads.

Dear kae7, I was referring to Camera Flash. Thanks.
