Philips 355 is a good product from Philips but not advertised properly.I bought it 6 months back for 6800/-.
A middle-class model based on the same platform as Philips 350. The main improvement is the presence of an integrated camera.

It has a 65 K color display.Has got good GPRS support and MMS capability. Has a built in melody composer for composing tones. The keys are very hard to press and if you are a nokia user u may find it tough to use.
It has a 4-way scroll button again tough for nokia users.it has some good tones and pictures. Nice clarity of voice and network capability. Only problem is it is incompatible with most of the wap sites hence u wont be able to download tones and pictures.
It has a 2X zoom camera with night mode with a very decent clarity. In all a very good product but incompatible with most ot the WAP sites so downloading is nearly impossible.
Well nokia is costlier, the same featured phone in nokia will cost u around 8000 but nokia accessories are freely available in the market so NOKIA IS THE BEST.
