        Samsung Metro S3310 Samsung S3310 - Full phone specifications

        Or get yourself Nokia 5130 XpressMusic, simply the best budget phone. http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_5130_xpressmusic-2569.php

        Among these two Samsung has better cam but Nokia is perfect all rounder.

No lags. 256 MB RAM can go far W.R.T multitasking. Especially if you have handy task manager installed. Things unthinkable on the hypephone.

              If you're dishing out the "Millions sold" line, you're just drinking from the Apple can of Kool-Aid. Do some research and see that a lot of phones have sold more units than the iPhone (The N5800 and the Samsung Jet comes to my mind). Apple manages to generate all this hype because they have ONE model. Other manufacturers have a totally different strategy of bringing up the numbers with different models that satisfy different ends of the market. BTW, would you be surprised that with all this hype, Apple still managed to sell less phones in the USA than their Canadian rival, RIM?

              The only area where Apple leads the industry is in profitability. They somehow have the blind following that shells out USD1000 for something that cost the company USD200 to make (You're paying more if you lock yourself to a contract). Apple takes the lion's share of this profit, leaving operators who heavily subsidize the iPhone in the red. Check out the financial statements filed by operators such as AT&T and SingTel to see how much subsidizing the iPhone has hurt them.

              As for the apps, the majority of them make me laugh. Puhlease. Do you know that almost of the useful apps on the iPhone have counterparts in the WinMo and Symbian world? DO you know that Handango had an appstore for these platforms way before the iTunes store came up? Do you know that one can turn a Symbian or WinMo phone into a wifi hotspot, but the iPhone can't, even with its 100000 apps? How long has it been since the jesusphone learned to copy/ paste and send files over bluetooth? So yeah, think and read up before you repost whatever Apple has let its customers believe, buddy.

              As for Awards, Subaru has topped the JD Power survey in USA for years, yet the best selling cars are Camrys or Accords. Shows how much they matter.

              I've used more phones than most people would and that includes some that will never see a showroom. I KNOW what can and can't be done on each platform and this is why I refuse to jump on the Apple bandwagon. Hype can fool a lot of people, but not all.

              excellent reply mod.
              very truely said. iphone is justa hypephone nothing else,people would have gone for it keeping ion mind the user interface and BIG screen,but whts the use ?

                This point couldn't be put in a more simpler and better way... I have been using an iPhone myself but am only tolerating it because I use it for listening to music and use the Internet a bit along wit basic telephony.... If it weren't for music I wud had thrown this slim brick in the bin! Used an N91 before so music wise iPhone was as good so opted for it. Feature and usability wise it's nowhere near the best the cellphone world has to offer...just because it has a fluid OS and a gr8 touch response,it doesn't become the best. Would prefer a samsung jet or omnia II over iPhone .
