    • @chica: get samsung galaxy ace, my friend has been using it for a while now,the only problem with that is that it kinda heats up while talking for a long duration.

        • @ 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 ?

          @ chicane1879 - Forget the Nokia man. Galaxy ace sure beats the crap out of Nokia and HTC atleast in Specs

          HTC wild fire is nice to use, but its screen looks crappy when compared to ACE. Compare both the phones in your hand and you will what i am saying.

          Disclaimer :I am not aware of any problems associated with ACE or WILDFIRE. So pls check that before buying.

            -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
            Take your budget to 16k and get the motorola defy. it does all of what you say - its android!

            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!

                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!!!!
                And just because you have problems with a particular model does not make android "terrible" , and the so called fragmentation issue can be ignored most of the times.

                Yes, in a closed environment like apple's , they have the control and it ensures quality ... but it also means that we have to play by their rules, and its no fun in closed environment.Like i said its linux vs windows analogy we all know who's better ,but many prefer windows and you know why.Apples strategy is the same, while recieving hatred they continue to sell in numbers because an average user only care \s about the UI and and not on what's beneath.

                "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!!!"

                then why even buy a powerful phone in the first place?if they don't like to play around,they better to stick to iphone or dead OS symbian.

                I don't get bored with android because it is like a playground, somethings cooking everyday for android and i like that way!

                  Bulleye ! Motorola Defy is one hell-of-a-fone indeed. Buying a fone at this expense means it will be staying with us for a longtime. Why not spend a bit extra a go for the premium product since u had planned for 15k max.

                  To make your mind, watch Defy-related videos in YouTube. U will be to see the tourture it taken. Recently I read in Engadget how gr8 is Defy when it comes to torturing your fone.

                    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....

                        First of all, forget NOKIA for the time-being. They themselves dont know how to bring back to lost charm which they used to have.

                        Motorola DEFY is to begin with, rock-solid compared to the list u mentioned. Android is inn for u to play with, loads of apps available. Definately should be considered.

                        Samsung Wave2 also good enough to compare but Bada2.0 is okay only (dont compare this OS to Android as Android is miles ahead in apps and interface). S-LCD should work wonders for u compared to Defy and multimedia experience is notch above here compared to Defy.

                        Ace not a worthy but can be considered though.

                        Go through www.gsmarena.com and read all 3 reviews, u will have ur fone finalized...

                        (I own WAVE S8500 and Xperia Arc, nothing beats its multimedia capabilities and S-AMOLED screen has become a collector's item now. Will tell u someday about Arc as it is above the things u would like to consider)

                                U are taking an Android (if u goes for Defy) and I need not say about Google Maps. U have it all dear, dont know much about Samsung Maps as I myself still keep scratching my WAVE for maps if they exists in there

                                Like I said, go through the reviews and u will not have any further doubts regarding any part of fone on his it performs and whats is app-store for u concering the OS the fone comes with.
