Re: First smart phone

I'd rather recommend Nokia N8 or C7 since multimedia & navigation are your requirements. You can even get the Nokia C6-01 whose price has dropped significantly.
 
Re: First smart phone

samsung nexus s is really good for multimedia and navigation.the screen is better than all nokia phones.better resolution.also 16 gig memory included.good hardware specs.will play almost all formats of audio and video.if you plan to keep the phone for a year or two-buy android if you have the budget.
 
Re: First smart phone

Thanks guys! Well , this is a first.. In UK , nexus S is more expensive than in India. I'll try to get a touch & feel of the models you guys mentioned.
 
Re: First smart phone

Isn't defy a better option?
Smaller in hand, but bigger in display.
For ex: the defy is smaller than iphone 4, yet has a slightly bigger display than that?
 
Re: First smart phone
