Seems NOKIA Guys read in here that U are out for SG2, hence this DHARAM-KARAM done esp. for U.

But u will be getting SG2 right !

Guys, i am looking for a new phone. My requirements are as follows:
-5MP and above with AF
-3G, Wifi
-QWERTY or Both QWERTY+Touchscreen
-Any OS would do provided it supports maximum number of applications and is flexible without any bugs.
-Budget:15k max

So far i have shortlisted Wildfire S/Nokia C6-01 & Samsung Galaxy Ace.

Which one would be better overall or else is there any other better options in that price band? I am considering the Nokia as it has the option of extendable warranty period. Is that available in others too

@ satan69in - You gonna take the SGS2 in contract and fly back to India ? Though it will be Darn cheap, how will you handle warranty problems ?

First of all the so called one reference is an example... just because I have not quoted other instances does not mean there are no other issues... lets face it, the fact remains that in a close environment like Apple's, it helps them control what goes onto the Iphone and what does not... while it is not very likeable to open source evangelists across the world the fact remains that it offers far superior quality of applications to users... this is a fact... thus offering a far superior user experience... since you have not used IOs, I would strongly suggest using it to see what its all about...

Also food for thought.... why is Apple able to achieve a user experience, which other phone makers are striving for and in the process offering higher chip speeds, bigger screens, more resolution, the whole kitchen sink ... what is Apple doing right? It is not offering 2 cores, it is not offering 10mp cameras, it is not offering physical keypads, yet it sells in numbers that is the envy of all the other phone makers... these same phone makers had said that its 'old wine in new bottle' when the first Iphone was introduced and today they are trying to mimic it hoping that some of that success rubs off onto them...


I do not consider myself to be a Apple fan having instinctively been drawn to the open source argument since my college days... the open source argument is compelling and sustaining... however, when it comes to user experience, I have to salute Apple and Steve Jobs for knowing what its all about...

We are talking about an average user, why would an average user ever want to root the phone... what is the average user wanting from his/ her phone... not glitches and work around, thats for sure!!!!

I'm running it overclocked with GingerBread on my phone since 18 days and its been a kickass experience all through. Uber stable too!

plus its weather resistant!

I need to buy a cell after crashing the motherboard of 2yr old Samsung b7320 .I donno much about cell phones so give some inputs.
My budget is 15+-1 k and my area of interest are
A-GPS with Maps(Primary purpose)
Music
Email configuration
easy to type sms
a bit durable

I have listed down few models, please suggest me the best one

1. Samsung wave 2 (looks good, not sure howz Bada 2.0)
2. Samsung galaxy Ace (Android, donno anything else)
3. Nokia C6.01 (Can use free Maps, Symbian sucks)
4. Nokia C7(again..free maps and voice navigation,8 Gb internal but again symbian)
5. Motorola Defy(Dont know anything, just saw in this forum)

Also I want to know, other than nokia do we have voice navigation in any other sets?
Are they chargable or free like nokia ?

Since u are staying there for such long time, why not wait till Q4 and take iPhone5. That when its rumoured to launch. No doubt SG2 will remain intact no matter how competition pitches against it.

Also, come 2012 and SG3 is slated as I read somewhere either in gsmblog/engadget. Ur N8 is back to business after technical gitches.

PLUS I need to meet u, last saturday I was about to join but work came subbah-subbah. How abt this sunday....

i have a 3gs now and its enough for me for music and games.. my heart is set on SG2 and my friend in US would be taking it on my behalf in his name and after i go there i will take it.he will take the ip4 or ip5 if its released by then.

yes am def free this sunday.i can take you to that mechanic am talking about.how about 10am at imax?what say?

^^
Dude you didn't say anything about the navigation thing which is on top of my priority list
