Hello everyone ,
i have been thinking of getting an Android for quite some time , but decided to wait till June for all the new phones to release. I will be buying a phone at the end of the next month. My budget is 17k ( streched from 15k , please do not suggest to extend more T_T )
1. Q: Budget?
A: 17k
2. Q: Preferred Form Factor(flip, bar, slider)?
A: Bar
3. Q: Preferred display type?
A: I really don't know the difference between AMOLED and S-LCD and all the terms used by various companies , screen is really important for me , i would like to have the screen best for watching videos.
4. Q: Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them.
A: Would like to stick to the more conventional brands , Sony , HTC , Samsung ( although people seems to tell me they are crap ) . NO to Micromax , Karbonn , even LAVA
5. Q: Preferred input method (Touchscreen, QWERTY, etc.)?
A: Touchscreen
6. Q: Camera required or not? If required, please specify type like front camera/flash/etc.
A: Not much important , but the camera should be satisfactory or better .
7. Q: Preferred operating system? (Android, Symbian, iOS, Windows Phone etc).
A: Android.
8. Q: Preferred connectivity options? (3G, Wifi, Edge etc).
A: The more the merrier
3G and Wi Fi among the obvious , i have heard about Wi Fi tethering , i'd like to have that , does it count as one of the options ?
9. Q: What is your intended use for this phone(internet, camera, multimedia, mails, etc)?
A: Videos , Applications , Internet , Games , Camera .. in that order.
10. Q: Any other requirements?
A: Rugged phone. Not like DEFY+ , but i don't care about the looks or size of the phone , more than willing to buy a brick ( what people used to call Nokia earlier )
11. Q: If you have already considered a phone then please mention the model.
A: Xperia Sola
Other Options ( Disadvantages )
HTC One V ( Very thin , no removable battery , ICS not an advantage for me , will us an ICS Mod anyways )
Xperia U ( 4 GB )
Ace 2 ( Samsung is not good ? )
Incredible S ( 20+k , Old Model ? )
Neo V ( My previous pick , hoped to pick it up at 14-15 k after new models launched , but seems overpriced now at 17k )
When i say Heavy Duty , i mean a phone which will go down well with extensive tinkering , i tend to install excessive amounts of Apps , i will surely go on to mod the phone , that which voids the warranty ( sorry i am not much acquainted with Android as of now , have been using Symbian ( N73 ME ) for the last 5 years , have installed more than 200 apps on it in that period )
I will not buy from E-Bay.
