      PM Samarth 619, he might be able to suggest something...

      AFAIK Built in GPS are not yet available on the so called cheap phones so far.... ( I may be wrong though)

      For that purpose, maybe you can buy a GPS receiver rather than buying a new phone!

        Basically, the phones you have used are mostly budget phones. GPS is on high end. Still, statistically the 3 cheapest phones with inbuilt GPS Chip are SE W760i, C702i & TM506...

        But, if you really need a GPS phone with good camera, GREAT Music quality & OS Software system, so that more GPS Apps can come from net, I suggest i550 or i560 ... it's not too expensive, maybe around 13-16k ...


        & Satyen bhai is right. You can use an external GPS if you take another economical set like: MOTOROKR E6, 5320 Xpessmusic or yet cheaper 3230. and it will prove more economical after all.

            My brother needs a leather case for his imate jasjar. The case is available online on ebay but its in the states. I dont want to pay duties for something which can be easily available in India(?). I checked Univercell but they dont have anything, also did some googling, but to no avail.

            Any place here online where I can buy this? A link/shop address would go a long way in helping out.
            Thanks

            PS: The link to ebay

                  I think you meant HTC Touch and not Touch Diamond!

                  The Touch Diamond is a brilliant phone, the TF3D interface covers the ugly windows mobile interface. I have been trying to port the TF3D interface into my TYTN 2, have been successful as well, but all the apps dont work in it!

                  The ASUS P320 is a slow phone thanks to its OMAP850 200MHz processor!
                  That compared with Touch has a 201MHz processor, the Touch Diamond has a 528Mhz processor!
                  The Touch n ASUS has 64MB RAM, and the Diamond has 19x MB RAM!

                  IMO the ASUS is a brilliant phone for that price, but its not really a PDA... its a chocked device! Sadly no overclocking option exists as much

                    I got the Nokia N78.Didnt like the touch sensitive pad of i550.also the camera didnt have AF or the extra 1.2 megapixels.
                    Also..My dad forced me to buy a nokia
                    But i'll have to wait to get to a big city to get the gps running.

                      im meant the touch diamond only..was just comparing the gps function..that info is from a friend who has the diamond and his sister has the p320...as a package the p320 is okay not comparing it to the diamond.... but for a gps/wifi combo on a budget it is good value for money

                        Dude, N78? ok ... Reg. Samsung i550, some one misinformed you. It's a 3.2 MP Autofocus Unit, as good as any similar Nokia...

                        Although, N78 might not be that great in music, it's good in camera & it should be good for you ... Congratulations!

                            I'll probably be going to Delhi soon, so if someone in Delhi could suggest a shop or two, it would help.
