My friend HoneyKing , who had a SE K320 recently switched over to a slider phone Samsung E250. Some of the aspects of this phone which caught my attention were,

• Stylish & Compact
• Big screen (But I didnt like the big fonts) with 128 x 160 TFT display
• Extensive connectivity options like GPRS / EDGE, USB, Bluetooth
• Good music quality with FM and a expandable microSD slot (upto 2 GB) (But the music player doesnt run in the background)
• Compatible with Java applications & games
• OK camera (VGA resolution) but quite good with video recording too
• Mobile tracker application built-in to keep track of your phone in case when it is stolen or lost

Apart from the big fonts, there is limited options for customization as there are only 2 themes & cant set our own tones for sms. For official specs please visit here. At a estimated retail price of 155 US $ its a good buy for people who are on the look out for slider phone with music capability at a budget.
