    I'm using N8 with 32 GB card, and apart from lesser apps and slightly lesser working speed, there's not a Pindrop complaint at all. The 12 Megapixel Cam is amazing.

    For cheaper alternatives, you can go for Nokia 500, C5-05, C5-06 etc. or go for any midrange Galaxy phone by Samsung like Galaxy Y, Galaxy 3, Galaxy 5, etc.

    In any case, you can't go wrong with the N8. You get the best combination of music+camera quality combo in the industry, and an overall good phone, that too at just 17k. Plus, its GPS is among the better ones in the market.

    (The only phone I found rivaling N8 well in the sound+camera quality was the iPhone 4S, sold at three times the price, some 54,000.)

    As i know both N8 & C7 has similar hardware .
    Change is N8 have 12 MP camera , Xenon Flash , 16 GB internal memory , TV out cable , USB OTG cable .
    While C7 have 8 MP camera , Dual LED Flash , 8 GB internal memory , NFC .

    Xenon Flash can't be used for contineous focus in video recording mode while LED flash can be . ( Checked on Anna , might be changed on Belle )
    Both support 32 GB micro SD ans as class 10 & usb 3.0 cards prices dropped so i think no matter about Internal memory .
    For TV out on C7 you can use Nokia CA-75U cable it works good.
    C7 is USB OTG supported so just need to get CA-157 cable .

    So things remained are you can't get NFC on N8 . That is advantage of C7
    You can't get xenon flash on C7 . That is advantage of N8

    Ashwin if you like to switch between PR 2 , Anna , Belle , Carla then definately go for N8 as its easy because of Scandinavia firmware , which is hard in C7 & may brick it .
    Thanks for your valuable input. I was'nt at all interested in the multimedia features of the phone, all I cared for was the GPS, and thanks for suggesting the Nokia 500, after looking into it, I feel that its a worth while phone especially considering the cost to be a low 10k and the added benefit of 1Ghz. I hope its the right choice, am still researching for phone with lower costs and similar specs. And please do keep on guiding me make the right choice.

        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.

            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.

                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.
                  Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                  Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                    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.

                            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,

                              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?
