I am using nokia x3 mobile phone. I like this very much but I am planning to buy a new phone. I have been using nokia x3 since 1 year. The screen has got scratched, and the phone looks quite old. I have got my salary and so I want to buy a new phone. My budget is around 10k. I am looking between nokia E5 and blackberry curve 8520. But I am not sure which one I should buy? I want to know that which one is better than other and what is the difference? Any suggestions if you all have then kindly share and advice.

Well as you have mentioned that your budget is 10k then I think you have got a lot of options. Why are you particularly looking for these two phones only? I would suggest you to go to the mobile store near your place and look for options available there. You will get much brands with different looks, features etc.

I think you should go for the blackberry curve 8520. It is an affordable business phone and has a full QWERTY keypad. It is one of the cheapest business phones from blackberry. It has many outstanding features and has trackpad. At today’s time I have seen that people are going for blackberry rather than nokia.

I think you should go for blackberry storm with 3 g when you are looking for bb curve 8520 and nokia e5. I have bb storm and is the best I think. It has a large screen and has simple multitasking. The camera is good. If you want to buy this phone then you can purchase it online. I had ordered this phone on amazon and I got my phone last week. You can also buy this from amazon or ebay depending on you. These online purchasing sites gives you discount sometimes.

I have heard that the BlackBerry Curve 8520 is available from under Rs 16,000 on Airtel. The battery life of blackberry curve is any day better than the nokia e5. I think the best way would be, you should compare it yourself. I would say that do a wide research on this and then only make a decision of purchasing anyone.

Actually nokia e5 is the update of nokia e71 and it has a budget version of nokia e72. I hope you know about all these nokia phones about which I am talking. I would say that the E5 is a good phone and it is a true rival to the BlackBerry Bold range. It is superfast.
