Android smartphones soar, Nokia, BlackBerry sink

PR : Android smartphones soar, Nokia, BlackBerry sink - The Times of India

thats on my hit list . after using the i phone killer for more than 2 years i need some change. when i see nokia high end phone i dont see any difference between my current phone and them. same amacture interface but different hardware. i will be waiting for nokia's windows mobile till this diwali .if they didnt launch them . then i will surely go for the 4.
well congrats if you got one .

Now I am even more confused
Nokia c6-01: 8 MP camera with flash, free maps with voice navigation @13.5k but symbian
Galaxy Ace: 5 MP camera with flash, maps with voice navigation@ 14k and andriod
Moto Defy: looks convincing but 18k
I also need some insight of Ace.

bro ace specs are quit impressive and its back cover has nice texture .bigger screen then c601 .and 120 mhz fast processer from c601. and lighter in weight too.
nokia ovi maps suxs they only show maps of city. if you want all terrain maps go for google maps which ace is pre loaded and can be installed in nokia.
c6 01 8mp camera is fix focused . and ace got auto focus help get picture more clear and focused.
but ace lacks front camera for video calling.

If symbian is your thing then it is NOKIA

if it is android, then it depends on how much you're willing to spend
ACE is a good phone with processor clocked at 800MHZ ARMV6.... its only negative is its battery 1350maH it is bit low considering the proccy power and 3.7 inch screen and i think it doesn't support flash, as far as the UI is considered samsung's touchwiz is stunningly cool with feather touch!

DEFY is definitely on top but its too costly.if you can extend you budget go for DEFY!

otherwise i have one more suggestion:
LG optimus ONE p500 which is priced at around 11k complete VFM phone with 600MhZ processor 512MB RAM ARMV6 QUALCOMM and the best part it has 1500MAH battery i am getting 40 hrs for backup with moderate usage.. ace has nothing but an overclocked version of this processor plus it has only 325Mb ram i think. Both can be upgraded to Gingerbread android 2.3,both has android Froyo running out of the box ! both lack flash support! the only thing that separates optimus from ACE is camera ...ACE has 5MP LED FLASH while p500 has got 3.2MP with no flash.. if camera is your priority then leave aside optimus if it is not then do consider OPTIMUS ONE.

and regarding Galaxy 551, batterry is a huge issue with this phone...battery lasts hardly 6-7 hrs max with moderate usage. the Plus point is it has gor HW keyboard, but it is not worth 12k.

hi friends!
i am planning to get a new mobile in this month and my budget is around 20-22k!
please suggest me a good phone in this range!
my main priority is android and a quite good hardware too!!
i have shortlisted samsung galaxy s which perfectly fits into my budget!
experts please suggest me whether to go for it and also the pros and cons of it!
and if not then some other phone please.

Whoa! Got meself a Galaxy S just yesterday. The Froyo it came with just lasted a few hours with me, instantly got Gingerbread running on it, so can't comment on the difference vis-a-vis Froyo vs Gingerbread. There's just one word to describe this phone and its display, "BRILLIANT."
I would wholeheartedly recommend this phone to you.

defy is available on flipkart at 17,1xx i know its not much of a difference.. but still you can consider...

the guy holding the phone is my big bro,
morning my mobile got stolen, in the evening he bought the Iphone4!
Damn!

You have a lot of options. Galaxy SL, Optimus black and Optimus 2X if you can extend a little bit more.

I think it is around 15K dude-check mysmartprice once. I had a look at it recently&it was really good. Bada apps store is also growing by the day.
The way I look at it, you get a 3.7" SLCD screen with 400x800 res.+front cam&good enough build quality with 1 GHz processor. For the same kind of features, you would have to shell out 25K+ in Android.
If you are not a heavy duty apps etc. user, I think its a fulfilling choice.

@GP_freak: What do you think-is this a good option for me?

Congrats!

@All - OK,You all need to hear this news. EVen chennai has the availability of Samsung Galaxy S2 for 30.5 k. Got a call in the noon.

Damn, the phone is available at 30.5k around 5~6 days before the official launch date by samsung. Just drooling what will it be after the official launch. Let is get lauched all over india and it will be sub 30 k for sure.


Are you talking about Wildfire S ? i had used the Wildfire and the only minus was its pixelated screen. Now with the upgraded resolution, it should be fine. But i have no idea since i have not used it, nor have i done an extensive research on it.

Its 29k here

better wait as SG2 has that dead pixels and yellow spots issues right now
