I have 9000 (INR) to spend on a music phone. I have in my mind the HAZEL (Rs. 8890), which is identical to the ELM (Rs. 7620) except that the hazel sports a bigger screen and costs around the 1500 more. So if i choose the elm, then i can go for a Sennheiser HD 203 headphone.
My primary concern is good quality music (SensMe) and using the GPS. The ELM + Sennheiser would be good for music definitely but the larger screen of hazel would be better for gps tracking, watching photos etc, a better experience. Also the design of hazel is sort of more attractive than the elm.
Both the combinations would be around the same price mark.
I need your opinion in which combination is better than the other.
Which one would you go for?
If you have anything else in mind please post.

I would go for Hazel since it fits your budget anyway, and the larger and brighter screen is definitely an advantage. I myself use Hazel + Audio Technica ATH - CKM30 +
Hiron's Modified Acoustics
As far as music quality is concerned Hiron's modified acoustics is a must together with a high bitrate mp3 and a good pair of earphones.
Personally I chose Hazel over the Elm because I also think it looks more attractive than Elm.

Elm and Hazel have fastport. You can't use Sennheisers, only SE's fastport ear-/headphones.

Yes the Audio Technica ATH - CKM30 will be good. But I will settle for the Sennheizer, if I buy a
headphone. Thank you for your response.
I would like some more suggestions.

Probably over budget but if you like music, try Aino. Great gps reception also.
Back to Hazel and Elm i'd pick Hazel.
With an adapter you can use any headset.

Thanks for your response. The Aino will be way over budget.
Back to Hazel and Elm, whats wrong with the elm?
For music, wont an elm + good headset will be better than hazel + stock earphones?

Oh sorry. Yes it would be. I thought you already had the headset, my mistake.
Is
995 to expensive also?

Have you ever considered W995? Best of both worlds if you ask me

Both Elm and Hazel are equally good when it comes to music, it comes down to which headphones you use. I'd say display is Hazel's advantage but of course Hazel costs a little bit more than the Elm, and I agree go for sennheisers instead, I find my CKM30's a bit lacking in punchy bass, but has great highs and trebles.
Others are Aino and w995 just like they said,
difference will be the cost but w995 has a 3.5 jack which makes it much more convenient to use for music.
