You mean the Videocon Ducati 6200? Is it still available? Last time I checked, it was discontinued, right?

@ Above All: Xenon flash can never be used for Videos, no matter which phone or camera. That's because it stores the power before flashing it, or something... And while mentioning TV Out, do you know that N8 can TV Out using HDMI port at 1280 x 720 pixels (HD)? And it can do the regular TV out too. This is what I meant by "2 TV Out's".

But the large lens (1/1.83 inches) of the N8 is the main thing. Somehow I feel C7 should be cheaper than 16k.

@ ashwinprakash: If you want more cheaper phones with GPS and Operating systems for GPS software, then please check out:
Sony Ericsson: W8, X8, Xperia X10 Mini, etc.
Samsung: Galaxy Pocket S5300, Galaxy Mini S5570, Galaxy 3,
LG: Optimus one P500,
Acer: Liquid,

I guess you should find your best setup within these phones. I can't comment on the GPS reception of these phones, because I haven't used them. But, the N8 has superb GPS reception and the whole package in the midrange price. You can get it second hand too...

Dude, all these phones have A-GPS which are not really good when compared to actual GPS which is in Videocon v6200 (Ducati Phone)
I myself have a LG P690 and tried using GPS on that, its not satisfactory... i have not used GPS in any other machines so cant compare.

Edit.

.

Mine's a C-7 and the app used was Speedometer , version 3.0.0. Checkout www.kilut.fi
Used screencapture to get the screenshot .
You can send a log to an email id from it which gives you the route u hav taken as well as shows where you attained the top speed .

Edit: BTW the battery/nokia image is just part of the theme I was using.

Finally locked on the Nokia 701, its a C7 replica. With a faster processor and double the RAM.

This is some mis-conception brother that has been discussed before.
A-GPS is the proper GPS assisted with internet, only! It includes the GPS component, which just uses internet to Lock on faster.

My N8 has A-GPS, and I can lock on to Satellites without using internet AT ALL. I can measure travelling speeds too, which is impossible to be received from internet only.

+1 AGPS is only used to get a faster lock than by just using GPS (which can sometimes take upto 4-5 minutes of stationary time on a cold start). With AGPS, you can even get a partial location indoors, which is not possible with Pure GPS.

Yes A-GPS helps to lock on faster than on purely satellite link. But it also needs GPRS connection to download ephemeris data for helping calculate position data faster.

Thanks for correcting me, but i started using A-GPS on my Optimus Net, just from a month back, and the results have not been very satisfactory. Sometimes, when im on my terrace, it shows me a couple of kilometers away. Anyways, thanks for the correction.

**techfreak** · 05-06-2012, 07:03 PM

When using A-GPS, then also u need to switch on your GPS, else u won't get an accurate fix

Update guys, dad came and he wasn't able to acquire the 701 hence got me an ipad and a Nokia C5-00.

It could be the quality and performance of the GPS chipset (the chipset that connects with the GPS satellites).

For example, 6210 Navigator was one of the best phones when it comes to GPS performance. My N8 is at a good level when it comes to GPS performance. And both these phones have A-GPS with good GPS chipsets.

Also, maybe LG phones do have a separate system to turn GPS on like Techfreak says,

@ Ashwin Prakash: Ok...

Guys...i need some help here!
been searching for a smartphone since a while. Budget is around 20k.
Had filtered my search a lot and finally was left with 2 phones namely Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the Motorola Atrix 2.
Was gonna get the nexus from US, but that is not possible now because my friend delayed his trip to India. So i am left with the atrix 2...very skeptical about moto though!
Any atrix 2 users here? The phone looks promising on paper...but want to keep my options open!
Any suggestions?

You can also try

Sony Xperia U: Price in India, Reviews, Specification: Flipkart.com

Sony Xperia U - Full phone specifications

Similar to Sola, only smaller and cheaper.
Sola over U
NFC
Bigger Screen (3.7 vs 3.5 inch)
More Storage (8GB vs 4GB)

U over Sola
Secondary Cam (== Skype Video Calls)
Better Battery
3.5k cheaper
No waiting involved (currently for sale)

**nats** · 05-19-2012, 11:36 AM

Had cancelled out Xperia U because of no Miicro SD slot on it. 8Gb internal memory and out of that i think some 4.5Gb can by used.

Sola is a great phone...but i just dont know what happens to sony when it comes to battery life. 1320 Mah battery on the sola is a something which i cant digest.
If i make it Xperia Sola vs Atrix 2, the A2 wins on paper.

What do you guys say? Should i go for the Sola? Both Phones cost the same.
