Nokia N79 and N82 have been discontinued for years now.

People are I don't know why so obsessed with Nokia in Pakistan.

As far as the smartphone region is concerned, Nokia has been dead for a long time now ... Think about getting an Android or Blackberry or something :wink2:

Duniya chaand pay pohanch gayi hay aur bhai saab ko abhi bhi Candy Baar Design ka NOKIA chahiye :tv:
Keyword: NOKIA

I am just kidding ... no offense.

But seriously dude, with a budget of 30k, you are looking for a CandyBar Phone? And that too by NOKIA? And then you specifically want a Carl Zeiss Optics.

I would be glad to help you out, but yara i will be needing another post from you, explaining:
1. Why you do not want Touch Screen? State clear reasons.
2. Why you specifically want NOKIA?
3. The strict requirement for Carl Zeiss Optics is implying that you only need a Kick Ass camera.
4. What will be your uses with that phone? I mean do you use your phones Rough OR do you take care of your phones?

Before that, i really am unable to suggest anything.

:) Guys i use mobile very Roughly, Thats why i Touchscreen is Big no for me.
I opted for Nokia because i have used 4 Nokia sets in Past and all were durable and never gave me any headache.
Carl Zeiss is because I want to use Mobile as Camera and do not want to purchase a separate Digi Cam.


P.S: If any other company mobile covers my requirement and durabilty then i can also buy. Pls give your suggestion.

^Almost all high end phones are touchscreen these days, they are capacitive touch with gorilla glass, not the easiest to break.

The thing is ... there is not much variety available in Pakistan. If there is, then they are possibly not worth to look at.

You still didn't explain how you use your phone. By simply stating ROUGH , i can only assume that you are some Mazdoor who works in a mill, have big cash in hand and are looking for a NOKIA but with good camera. But you dont want a touch screen because your hands are Dirty always, or you like to THROW your phone carelessly.

Your reference of DigiCam is still implying you want a Kick-Ass camera for sure.

-------------------------------

If you are sort of a person who wants a phone for Just listening to Phone Calls, i suggest you find some N73 in used condition. Wont cost more than 7-8k. Good Condition is almost impossible to find, so better get one from Saudia if you can find one ... ofcourse in used condition.
- N73 certainly has a very good camera because of its 3.15MP Carl Zeiss Optics, and i still consider this camera ONE OF THE BEST Cameras of ALL TIME.
- Handset feels a bit slow because of its quite old and outdates software, but it does the job neatly.
- It looks beautiful and is feels handsome in hand.
- It feels bulky if you consider the current timeframe, but still ... its one helluva Personality Improver.

-------------------------------

Then there is the N8 ... certainly the best camera until now, and the ONLY camera from Nokia worth spending money on.
BUT
- Its touchscreen (capacitive) ... which may be against your requirements BUT FEAR NOT as its got a Aluminum UniBody Design, which means you can use it rough without fearing of a damage (please dont drop it.)
- Design is sophisticated.
- Marvelous Camera i.e. 12MP with a Powerful Xenon Flash (one Xenon Flash is x2 better than any Dual LED Flash)
- Bad side is its Market Value ... very poor
- OS ... well not much to say here. Does the job quite good. As a daily life phone it does not fail you in any way. But its not compareable with any Android or iOS etc. Still ... considering its other advantages, i wont say its bad.
- You can find one in very good condition for as low as 26k , and if in warranty, then say, 28k.

-------------------------------

IF you dont want a TouchScreen, consider going Touch&Type.
Look for E6.
- Camera is a fixed focus camera, not much to brag about really, because despite its 8MP Lens, I still consider it shitty ... probably because of the price you pay for it. However, its capable of recording 720p Videos.
- Its got a capacitive touchscreen as well, but its Touch & TYPE, so i guess that wont be a problem for you.
- Build Quality is nice ... some Metal and some Plastic. Feels Solid. Yes you can use it rough.
- Again, worst Market Value. But, its still a Business Class handset, so people do purchase it.

-------------------------------


Whatever ... i am still having difficulty in suggesting a Perfect Device for your needs because i am Totally DARK about your criteria of Phone ... Still.

If you are afraid of using TOUCH and like to use it ROUGH ... then i suggest you get some low end 3000 wala phone a live with that. For Paparazzi Stuff, get a Seaprate Digicam, which wont cost above 10-11k for a good enough 10MP camera with decent Battery timings.

:) Guys, First of All Thanks for your suggestions. Some Point i want to add:

1. In Riyadh, Mobile Prices are high as compared to PAK.
2. Although 3G Network is available here but expensive for daily usage. (I am using WIFI for daily Usage)
3. I never used any mobile in my life Except NOKIA ( so u can judge why i am insisting Only NOKIA)
4. I like photography thats y i want good camera fone.
5. I am not a Mazdoor ( I am an Auditor) :) usually i do not care my Mobiles and I am dropping my mobiles commonly.
6. I am not interested in BB ( May b i am wrong coz there are not good application available for BB) Like Android & Symbian
7. Other Than Nokia Mobiles are welcome If they cover my requirement (GOOD Camera, Durable, WIFI, 3G, No Touchscreen, Android is welcome, Good Applications, Budget is 30K PKR).
8. I like SonyErricson Fones but i dont know whether they are available New in PAK.
9. N73 is not available new in KSA but i would say it is the most successful set in KSA, Every Expats has this set almost.
10.

1. In Riyadh, Mobile Prices are high as compared to PAK.
They are MUCH higher than you think. But i believe used handsets are direct opposite to it.
Thats why i asked if its possible for you to get a used handset.

2. Although 3G Network is available here but expensive for daily usage. (I am using WIFI for daily Usage)
Pakistan, my friend ... is no different. There is no 3G here, but other services like EDGE are not cheap either.

3. I never used any mobile in my life Except NOKIA ( so u can judge why i am insisting Only NOKIA)
Yup, i can understand you dilemma. Because i myself was once in exact position.
But it changes when you get involved in this stuff.

4. I like photography thats y i want good camera fone.
Then mark my words, you wont like any other phone than a Nokia N8.
period.

5. I am not a Mazdoor ( I am an Auditor) :) usually i do not care my Mobiles and I am dropping my mobiles commonly.
That Mazdoor thingy was merely to make a point.
Mashallah you are an Auditor. I like that :D

Dont tell me you have the tendency of dropping 30k phones often :S (Do you?)

6. I am not interested in BB ( May b i am wrong coz there are not good application available for BB) Like Android & Symbian
If you are part of a huge Corporate Sector where BlackBerry services are more of a integral part of the orginization, it makes more sense there.

Other than that, people just buy BB's to show off because i find BB's nothing better for love them.

7. Other Than Nokia Mobiles are welcome If they cover my requirement (GOOD Camera, Durable, WIFI, 3G, No Touchscreen, Android is welcome, Good Applications, Budget is 30K PKR).
There WERE phones available which were good value for money, other than Nokia. But now its a mess ... really. You'll find no phone amusing or worth buying, without a Touch Screen. This is the part where Nokia is still leading.

For Touchscreens, other companies are doing it better.

8. I like SonyErricson Fones but i dont know whether they are available New in PAK.
They are not available here Officially. Doesn't mean you can't find them.

But again, Touchscreen is everywhere these days, and like i mentioned before, Nokia is a winner here too (i mean in a non-touchscreen sector).
My reference is towards Touch&Type series.

9. N73 is not available new in KSA but i would say it is the most successful set in KSA, Every Expats has this set almost.
Yup ... and its success is for a very good reason, due to which its still popular among MOST people in Pakistan ... especialy for those who are not enough tech-savvy.

-------------------------------------

I provided Mazdoor reference to make a point about the Black and Dirty hands they have, due to work. Which is why TouchScreen would be useless.
Touchscreen is also disturbing for some people who have Sweaty hands. Do you?

In the end, I would say ... Trust me once, and make an exception for you. Because i am certain that you LOVE Photography and would love to have a good camera.

My Verdict would be: Nokia N8.

Honestly you should get the N8, you really should give touchscreen a try, it's not that bad unless you write essays on your phone all day.

Anyways if you must get a non touchscreen with a good camera then I suggest the BB bold 3. The camera isnt as good as the old nokia N series but still it will get the job done.

The best camera's now are on touchscreen, I mean think about it yourself. Dont you wanna have a huge screen when taking all those photos instead of a small one?? On a touchscreen phone you can enjoy the photography right there but with a tiny screen you have to see the pics on a PC to truly appreciate them.
