Need advice!!!!

Hi Guys,

I am looking to buy a phone on android platform which has good GPS navigation within a range of Rs.15000. Currently I am using Samsung Wave 533.

Basic Requirements :

1. Should be 3G enabled.
2. Price within 15k.
3. Android platform(not BADA).

Please suggest.

Hi Guys,

Im using Motorola Ming A1200. The touch screen is fine for me and multitasking was enabled. only disadvantage is i've to change the flexi cable for repeatedly.


Now im going to purchase Motorola XT5.


@Blumarine005: in my knowledge Motorola XT5 is fine for you. it costs around 14K.

Anybody?

i am looking at three choices

1. galaxy i5801
2. galaxy i5510
3. galaxy Ace

don't know the street price of ACE , please update me.

@yuv marine, ceaser, bluemarine... Galaxy Ace is the one you guys should be lookin at. Street price should be somewhere close to 12/13k

12 hours is a fundo time I assume...
My E72 lasted for around 5 hours (though not fully charged) flat only with continuos GPS and screen ON..


ACE is something between 13-14k on road...

When is the wildfire s gonna launch in India??

The ace is costing around 15600 in the mobile store

Try LG optimus or galaxy 3. Have been using the galaxy 5 for almost 5 months for now & it is a very rugged phone i must admit. Thrown it for nearly 6 times on the floor and once on the road. Still the phone is working without any problem. Just a few scratches here and there.

I am looking for an Android.

Been using Xperia X10 for almost an year, but had to give it off to my wifey as it was her phone.

So I am looking for another one. I have been loyal follower to Sony Ericcson since its T105 till Xperia X10.

Now, I have options of Samsung Galaxy S2, Sony Ericcson Xperia Play/Arc and LG Optimus 2 in the range of phones I am looking for.

LG was never of my taste, so I am ignoring Optimus here.

And the confusion is between Galaxy S2 and Xperia Play.

True, that specification wise S2 is way ahead of SE XP, but I am not sure If I will be using the S2 to its full potential of its hardware. Being extremely satisfied Xperia X10 user my heart vouces for it.

Samsung Galaxy S2:

Pros:
Excellent specs, Dual core & GB+ ram.
Slim when compared to SE XP.
S-AMOLED Screen, though this isnt a deciding factor for me.

Cons:
Plastic body

Sony Ericcson Xperia play:
Pros:
Games Games and Games, one of the main nessicity for me.
Gorgeous looking.

Cons:
Specs OK compared to S2
Appears to be bulky.


My brain says S2 where as heart says XP. Prices of both the phones are same here in london.

Performance wise, S2 must be ahead. But do we really use to its hardware potential?

I earlier has Xperia ARC in consideration, but Carphonewarehouse here is kept them on hold as SE is resolving some camera related issues, and they are not aware when they will be available again.

@riaz
My vote would go with the galaxy S2.

close your eyes ... and get a GS2... i am so desperately waiting for it man.. i am downgrading from 12mp of n8 to 8mp of GS2 but to hell with it... i need a faster phone,wanna taste android and i also hear the cam on GS2 is fabulous...it has HDMI too...and awesome hardware which i guess you already know...

15k for ACE is too much for me!No interest in LG phones I am testing galaxy 551 for the moment, its awesome, although sometimes therz negligible lag the phone performance is excellent, in addition HSPDA 7.2 mbps QWERTY are a plus.
On the other hand Galaxy 3 almost has the same specs except for the 3g HSPDA and no QWERTY... How is the performance of G3? better than g551? I was told that g3 outperforms G551..also battery backup i get on G551 is problematic, i get around 6~7 hrs, what bout g3 ?

If you were to choose between G3 and G551, your choice would be what?

I am using the G5 so i have the least idea about the G3. But while buying the G5 (at the mobile store only) the shopkeeper showed me that this phone was the best i can get in my budget. The G3 has edge like bigger battery, bigger screen etc. But my requirement was only messaging and entertainment. Seriously the G5 satisfies all my needs without any hiccups. & yeah the G3 does outperform the G5 but this comes at a premium . The performance lag is caused by the smaller proccesor (some 600Mhz).

The G5 offers me a battery backup of some 3 days with constant messaging and music playback. IMO the G5 is enough for an average user & should satisfy the needs of a normal student.

I use a Galaxy 551. Yeah battery is a problem at a paltry 1200mAh. Other than that the performance is upto my expectation...QWERTY is quite easy to use, works beautifully in wifi nd edge...didn't try 3g yet ...I chose this as I browse a lot and hence the qwerty was imperative...needed froyo & A-GPS. Music & camera quality's decent. 667mhz processor is just about enough powered by 256mb RAM...make sure u clear the memory once done browsing...rest the fone has been upto my expectations so far.... *touchwood*

Best of luck!!!

P.S : For better battery backup I switch off wifi,edge,background data etc when not in use

You will never use any Hardware to its full potential. Errr..... I was talking about your R15(from the pic). But we still need it. Dont we. i believe the same applies here too.

Jokes apart, seriously you need consider the S2. Just have a look at the screen and you will never consder any other phone.Use it and let us know. If its not SGS2 for you, then it should be LG2X because the screen is way ahead of Sony's. But when you have access to SGS2, i would say you are wasting time looking for other phones.

Guys I am looking for a phone with 3G and excellent GPS navigation. Price around 10K. I dont really bother about the other features like camera, OS, touch etc.
I need GPS because it would be really helpful while touring on a bike. It would be nice if it comes with something like MapMyIndia pre-installed as I don't need to kill my data plan every time I need to navigate a new place. Some of my friends told me the Nokia mobiles with GPS like C5 have something called Ovi Maps which comes free of cost. I haven't seen anyone use it though. But if Ovi Maps is good then I don't mind downloading maps on my computer and loading them to the mobile before I start off on a trip.
Some inputs on this please.
