I on angadsodhi.com would like to have a small competition here. We have taken a look at the phone, now it’s time to predict the price! Please leave your price estimate, either in INR or Dollars, below as a comment along with your name. The competition is active only until SE hints at it’s price. (duh!!)
The person with the closest bid gets . . . . . . . . just a special mention on this blog. (Obviously you don’t expect an undergrad Engg student to be giving out prizes, do you??)

AngadSodhiDotCom price estimate:
INR: 15,000/-
USD: 375$ (approx)
My estimate:
INR: 17,000/-
A 2GB Memory Stick Micro (M2) card costs about 2k so I’ll add 2K into your estimate!
D PHONE HAS A 3.2MP CAM & D 2GB MEMORY STICK WID T
SO I GUESS
INR:18,500/-
19k..
A walkman phone with a 3.2MP camera!
Sony Ericsson are really commin out with great phones. Plus it’s a 3G phone. So you could access broadband internet on it! Streaming live videos, video calls, video conferencing and other stuff will follow!
Suddenly my 15K estimate is beginning to look petite!!!
But what I really miss on SE phones is the Symbian which Nokia provides even on their low-end phones.
I say Rs 18,5001/-
Well, I can come very close to the pricing.
This phone will be priced at Rs 18500 - 19500, as the package comes with a 2 GB memory card.
Mostly, I will buy this phone.
