help with mobile with wifi around 10-15k

[arjun_ghuman]

hey guys i wanna buy a new mobile with wifi 10-15k...
i have been using w810i for the past 5 yrs without a single prob any good models in that range in sony??

Right now, you'd be better off going with some other brand than sony... in this range, you can get the Samsung Spica I think. Pretty good phone with a decent OS too. Of late Sony's phones haven't been garnering all that good reviews.

Yeah, Go with the Samsung i5700 Spica. It has all the goodies & Android 2.1 is on its way for this phone.

In case you don't want a touch phone, you can opt for the Nokia N79 & for a QWERTY phone in your budget, go for the Nokia E71.

i have a ipod touch so i kinda hate other touch models from nokia which are not as good as the touch, and qwerty i find it difficult to message using qwerty, anyother suggestions??

Best Wi-fi connectivity is with Nokia E series.
If U can not manage the Querty keys then perhaps a Nokia E-52 about 13k from ebay will be your best bet

What are your priorities?If browsing,then spica or 5800 as they have larger screens.

1) Samsung Galaxy i7500

2) Nokia 5800XM

3) Nokia E71

stay away from SE . their phones just look good . but are full of bugs . SE has no software support or after sales in INdia .

and not to mention very low resale value .

buy the 5630 . value for money . and the best sunlight legibility

Samsung Spica eyes closed.. no other phone even comes close in the range mentioned.

Samsung spica all the way bro ...!!!

after seeing AMOLED, It is definitely better to go for i7500. And heard that i7500 is soon going to get 2.1 upgrade. spica may have 800MHz processor but given the better h/w that i7500 has, it's better to get i7500 and wait for 2.1

The i7500 is not going to get an update in the near future.This was confirmed by samsung peep who called me 3 days back.( I had got a call from samsung regarding an issue with the i5700)

 

[desiibond]

hmm. in Feb, there was update that i7500 will be getting update in Q2 2010.

anyways, GAOSP is almost ready with cooked ROM. (currently in public beta).
