The P320 is cool, got it for 13k with 2 GB card, some aspects are different, but overall, it's ok, for all those blazing guns, please excuse, this phone is slow, if you want it to be fast go for the Nokia's, has more features I think

it's pretty OK
Freaky had bought a 526 from me on which The USB connection went kaput somehow
We went to the store where I had got it from who gave use the phone # of the service center (which was basically the local liaison office of the importer)
He dropped the phone there, they made us wait for a week during which they sent it to the Mumbai service center to figure out if it is a software or hardware glitch
When it turned out to be hardware, they gave us a new replacement phone
YMMV though since I did have to give them a strong lashing + gyaan on customer service twice whic is what I am guessing prompted a relatively short ( 1 week) turnaround

If you have the extra dough get the 527, more profesional, looking, nice alluminium finnish, and a keypad tooo

Sorry Im bad at Reviews
Here's first the answers that you need
The P320 is decent considering it's price
You do not need any T9 keypad, you can type using the stylus, and some of the newer words like your name get automatically added so next time you type the first digits you get the prompt, the touchscreen keypad is a little (can't describe the proper word) you have to touch it properly in the center for the key to be pressed, pressing it with the hand is not that easy, nails might help, the phone does not have a GPS software and using Google Maps, the google Maps uses GPRS or some kind of internet settings to get your location, not that precise, No memory card, you have to buy one, Sound and all is ok
P.S.
My freind has HTC P3300 he got it for 17-18K odd at Croma, I got mines from Croma too, his P3300 runs on the same procc, just 201, 1 digit more and it seems more faster, might be he's on Windows Mobile 6.0 and Im on Windows Mobile 6.1, things are more snappier in his phone, I donot have any extra apps apart from Adobe Reader and Google Maps installed, also he has 1 GB card and I have 2 GB
firstly i apologize for not doing the review as promised....held up at work 
@udayrulz : the GPS works like charm on P320. I used it on google maps. tested it on a rough auto ride from MG Road to CV Raman Nagar [Bangalore]. Trust me the gps was accurate turn to turn, landmark to landmark. Agreed it needs you to be outdoors and a not-so-cloudy day to work properly. Perhaps you will need a good software with an exported google maps.
As for typing on the screen, fingernails work ok, fingertip will be a lil too big. T9 [or its windows equivalent] is preloaded, works pretty neat.

Yup, the GPS works great, only if you have updated the GPRS Catcher, which seems to be like some Satellite caching app, which updates all the satellites so next time you use GPS it coordinates with it to give you the actual results

Sorry for the wrong information regarding it being slow compared to the HTC P3300, I figured out, I had the Clear Type enabled which makes the fonts edges more softer for better readablit and that was causing it to run slow, disabled that and it was just like the performance of P3300

I know its accurate .. buy does Gmaps support ROUTING .., like can it give u step by step directions to a place .. (I don't think it does in India ..)

No, it has that option but does not work for india, there are features like Traffic View and stuff, but not for india, maybe if you were a blackberry or a Google map enterprise subscriber then, still india I doubt itudayrulz said:
