Looks Also Matter but price is not the priority upto 15k .

N6265 is no longer available with either Nokia or RCOM. You may get only 2nd hand sets in the market at around 8k onwards.

N6275 also AFAIK, stopped by Nokia and RCOM. It may be available somewhere still.

As for the choice between 6265 and 6275, I personally feel N6265 is more sturdier and reliable than 6275. Opinions may differ.

In any case, with RCOM, you can only do browsing on WAP - d/ls are not allowed except for some *.jar/*.jad files. You may be able to watch some videos (some users have been lucky here), but I have not been able to watch any so far.

As far as SMS is concerned (since you have got a DAPO plan, you may be a SMS freak) both handsets are lousy with very poor support for SMS. Both have only 90 SMS store capacity plus 10 templates that you can delte to create extra store capapcity on phone plus 10 - 30 SMS store capacity on RUIM depending on RUIM you get. You cannot transfer SMS to memory card nor can you use the PC to send SMSs.

The above apart, Nokia is notorious for service matters. It will take them at least 15 to 21 days ususally to correct any small problem that you have on your handset. Unless you know ADA personally, you will have to forgo your handset to Nokia for this period always.

Finally, IMHO, do not go for any of these handsets. Use a PC to browse or do whatever you want. Maybe a PPC would be better, but then that is someone else's cup of tea - I mean someone who has a PPC can explain in detail. A PPC also would cost you somewhere in that range from 8k (for a used phone) to 15k (for a slightly used phone). Finally both (Nokia and PPC) are unreliable for service.

If I were you, I would preferably take a EDGE GPRS-GSM connection and use some of the latest, trendy handsets available in the GSM segment rather than use RCOM's cheap and half-hearted value added services. You can go in for a sub 10k handset (and you get real good handsets in this price range in GSM) and use the extra 5k for subscribing to a un-ltd data connection over a year atleast in the GSM segment. And in any case, by March 2009, RCOM also will conme to GSM and at that time you can always switch operators, and RCOM will bring in a pan India EDGE network.

And mind you, VAS will become more and more expensive going by what ADA has recently said in an interview on NDTV Profit as the ARPUs have come down drastically in the voice segment and VAS ARPUs only will contribute more now onwards.

I am waiting for MNP to come in and I will kick RCOM in the ***.

Try your luck.

6275 is better than 6265.

Go for 6275 if u want to avoid visiting nokia service center within 3 months.

6265 got major known issue of display strip, which gets cut very soon.

they got tired replacing handset, so stop the new sales.

I am using N6265 since 15 month. The great hand set in RIM Showcase. Go for N6265. But it is not available now. I requesting to NOKIA & RIM get this avail or launch a new handset better than N6265 which compatible with GSM network as well as CDMA = dual mode set. kyo bhai log thik kaha ?
