1. Lumia 800
2. Samsung Omnia W

The OS has been the best of all featured on both the phones and nokia build quality and hardware is way better. Downside of the lumia was its pretty pricey at 30k and the screen is under 4".Also the marketplace is yet to grow and syncing files/Data is only through zune.These kind of limits put me down.

So started checking out options in Android in the price range of 30k.Here are those

1.Moto RAZR XT 910
2.Samsung Galaxy SII
3.Samsung Galaxy Note

Now i am really inclined towards the RAZR cos of the looks and the acclaimed durability with all the water and shock resistant body and panels.Otherwise the Note has an upper hand in all these.

And i founr the RAZR to be more practical and now that Motorola is in Google's hands i am expecting better support and updates.

Guys What is your take on this.??

Dude just wait for 2 more months and check for XPERIA S .Ultimate Specs.or Just wait for 5 months and wair for XPERIA ION

result of the test - ?? ok, gravity works and apple also works, but now there are permanent spider webs in the Apple. 3 feet drop words wonders with Apple

I need a GPS device(phone or dedicated one). I am looking for Satellite Navigation and pre loaded maps unlike A-GPS in most of the current phones that require GPRS/3G. As this would be my backup phone/GPS I don't want to spend much(<12K). Any suggestions.

Earlier I had Videocon Ducati V6200 as my backup phone and it served the purpose well. However, I lost it recently and I ordered it again (online from Online Shopping in India, Shop Online and Compare Price - Compare and Shop Online in India for Mobiles, Laptops, Cameras, Automobiles). I got a faulty product and I had to return it. Since, this phone is no more into production, I don't want to order it online and get a faulty one.

Default New phone and old phone OS upgrade

@All: Bought a white Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro for my sis with a 16GB memory card. Costed me around 13.3+700=14K.
Now the best price says 12.3K for phone only, but market fluctuation is inevitable!
Anyway, I was trying to force her to go for Defy Plus with a bigger screen, but she was more interested in the physical keypad for her FB/Whatsapp messaging!
As long as she's happy, so am I!
The 1GHz processor seems to be working snappily enough&the cam is also really good. Music needless to say, is booming with XLoud!

Update on my Optimus Black which I bought 9mths. back is I got it upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.4 and suddenly the battery started draining like crazy on Standby. Found out from the forums that it is a bug in the OS, so hit a factory data reset and all is well. Processor and battery life response have improved.
Going good for now. Waiting for ICS!
