Guys i need some help, with so many Nokia phone on the market these days i can't decide what to get. Give me some proposals pls, i'm looking for the most feature rich i can get with my $250 budget.

I'll suggest 3250 if you are into symbian phones, if not 5310 is the right choice. 5310 is a music s40 with 16mil display and so on. 3250 is s60 with twistable keypad area. lower screen colors etc. Just check them out at this site they have em.

3250 is old and lame. For $270 you can get the n73, which is a good smartphone no matter how you look at, the only downside it has is the lack of wi-fi, for 280 there is the e51 which better than n73 in every possible way, except the camera. If you are not into smartphones, the 5310 is the best choice as stated above.

How is the n73 battery life compared with the 5310 ? And i'm limiting the choice between these two, so which one ?

N73 has better stand-by , 5310 has better talk time (according to their spec sheets). Anyway
N73 is better in my opinion, S60 is much more flexible than the normal phone. No matter which one of the two you choose you will have to compromise. N73 - 3megapix camera (2 on 5310), 262k Colors (16 million on 5310), 3G (no 3G on 5310). All in all these are the major differences.
If i were you i would go for n73 or E51 :D.

without a doubt the n73 is the best you can get new for that kind of money. If you are willing to buy a used phone you can get something a lot better for that money. BTW why don't you buy one on contract, you will still have to use a mobile carrier to use the phone .

Thanks for the help guyz :). Yesterday i purchased N73 and i must say you were right, the phone is awesome. You have been very helpful, if you happen to pass by Denver you have a cold beer from me ;).

N73 is really good. it's stand-by is 350hrs while in 5310 it is up to 320hrs. it sounds good.

Hello Stilish1t

I think you should buy Nokia N95 $249.99 approx. Actually I have E71 but N95 is also good one.

The Nokia N95 cell phone boasts a 5-mega-pixel camera that produces good-quality photos and videos. It comes with advanced multimedia capabilities and has a 3.5mm headphone jack.
