My sincere bows to all the tech guru's..
I need your help people..I wanna buy a phone that I can use for long(I mean an year or 2)
My basic needs are
  1. Good Connectivity-Wifi, 3g, Bluetooth
  2. Great Camera..Dun bother abt the pixels, but need good quality picture and flash
  3. Good Music and a 3.5 mm jack
  4. atleast 2 day battery life on moderate usage
  5. should be easy to type on coz i am a heavy texter
  6. and last but not the least..I need something that can be heavily customized.from themes to third party applications..and I think ANdroid lives upto it

My shortlist so far-
  • NOKIA X6>>PROS-16Gb memry, gud connectivity>>cons-bad touchscreen
  • Nokia 5800XM>>Pros-Evrything good>>Cons-Pretty common
  • Xpreia X10 Mini Pro>>Pros-qwerty, android, sexy>>Cons-small screen and resolution..pppl say it wont support much of the android apps
  • samsung Wave>>Pros-Amoled, And gud everything>>Cons-BADA OS(Dsnt seem to have so many app)
  • HTC Wildfire>>Pros-Well connected..Nice UI>>Cons-Bad Camera, Low res screen
  • Spice Im 300>>Pros-Android, lots of app, VFM>>Cons-"Its Spice"
Also there is galaxy spica but doubt its availability..any suggestion are heartfully welcome...
please ppl..help me out...

Also If U can get me smart dialing too, it would be a bonus!!
 
Dont expect 2 days battery life as a given.

Since you are a heavy texter, count out all small size phones and low res screens, so there go Xperia Mini and Wildfire

For the same reason count out a resistive touch screen , as its not so responsive.. count out 5800

Spice - no idea about that

Wave will be a good choice cause, it has a good camera and screen as well as awesome music and video playback. For texting you have the capacitive screen and Swype input

Can also consider physical keyboard phones such as nokia C6, motorola milestone and Nokia E series phones
 
does wave have swype? i dont think so.. also once thing i noticed with wave is that it doesnt have multitouch input for texting like the iphone.. big drawback. i dont know whether they have fixed it with the firmware upgrade.. i had chkd it out at chroma/

Dude the X6 has a capacitive touchscreen that is among the best i've used, and it totally outdoes the rest of the resistive touchscreens from nokia.
 
OT:

Samsung should have simply launched the wave (or something like it) with Android.

I'm not saying Bada is bad but with the interest in Android these days, I feel that they've made a major strategic error.
 
Simply get a galaxy 3 for 12k dude otherwise wave is a really good phone and bada os is developing day by day,there are many apps for day to day usage.The screen is simply gorgeous.

No point getting X6 as it is nothing but a nokia 5800 in a new body with capacitive screen.

5800xm is again quite common and old now.

They need to get their os too into the mass market.And wave is the right phone to do the task.

Its not a strategic error, its a deliberate decision. Samsung has already launched a Wave with Android - the Galaxy S.

See you are getting Wave with industry leading hardware for 17k just because they want to push their Bada, if it had Android it would be for 28k only :D

i second u
 
Buddy swype is just really over-rated, I used it on my Legend and on a friends Spica, its really not something that should influence your decision.

I never liked the Wave, but once I saw it in the store and got a hands on, wow the phone is really good for the price range, it has the hardware of the elite phones (Galaxy S, Desire etc)
 
Using the Samsung Wave and coming from Android, i really dont feel the phone lacks anything.

It has everything and right where you need it...
