So what do you guys suggest? Should go for LG…or is any android phone launching soon with better specs? I have a Samsung Wave S8500 and this phone is for my brother. He’s quite used to the seamless, non-laggin OS of WAVE. So is there a phone in this range which even though won’t have AMOLED Screen, but will have lagg-free functioning.
the processor in optimus one (qualcomm msm7227 with adreno 200 gpu) is better than galaxy 3 (some samsung spxxx with just a 2d accelerator)

Where did u get that info. Really interested in knowing the processors used by various Android mobiles. The low-mid range phones never mention about the processor make in the specs list and just put out the speed of the proccy

pdadb.net and even developer section of the manufacturer’s website has these details.
my vote goes to LG. they have really made a comeback with this one.

Am looking for a mobile for my mom.. Budget of 3k to 4k.
Her requirements:
-
Good FM radio with internal antenna
-
MP3 player
-
Expandable memory to store those mp3s
-
Very intuitive menu system
-
Good battery backup
Of course, call quality should be excellent with very little dropped calls. A colour screen larger than 2" would be good (in fact, the larger the better). No QWERTY keys. Would prefer reputed brands (read Nokia & Samsung only). Please suggest accordingly.

Nokia 2690. Only downer would be the screen which is just 1.8" as opposed to the 2" you are looking for.

^^ Will check it out.
Edit: Just checked. The 2690 costs around 2.7k on ebay, so it is well within the budget. What are the other alternatives, for the sake of choice.
Is touch screen phones an option? Then the C3300 ~ 3.5k. 2.4" screen
The Samsung C3200~3.8k is also a good choice but battery back up seems to be less than avg. 2.2" screen.
Both the above phones come with Samsung’s DNSE. So they have excellent music quality.
Else the Nokia 2700C ~ 3.5k is a decent option as it comes with a bundled microSD, slightly better camera and larger 2" QVGA screen.

Thanks DarkAngel, DigitalDude and LinuxTechie. So it’s LG now!
Guys, Is it a good idea to buy HTC desire for 499$ at amazon and use it in India?
Any pros and cons?
No warranty. $499 ~ 23k. U can get a Grey market set in India for that price or even slightly lesser.(or a 1-2 months old set with 10-11 months local warranty remaining)
^Thanks darkangel
I’ll probably try searching the gray market.
I am looking for Optimus Q..Is it available in India yet??
Any clue on when’s HTC Desire Z coming to India and what would the price likely be ?
Unfortunately, no touch screens. Mom is not comfortable with them. Thanks for the alternatives. Will check them out.
