I am looking for a new mobile not more than 24-25K. Also I have no desire to have big screen phones. At most 4.3 inches.

So does it make sense to buy it now? I am also considering HTC One S, but as you all know the Indian version is not that great. Any other good contender?

I was earlier using Samsung Focus and it went dead a weeks ago. No body it able to repair it. So Indian Warranty is more important now :yes:.
I am waiting for Nokia 820, as I was using Samsung Focus earlier. But I see no word from Nokia about when and for how much it will go in India. I will not consider HTC 8S as it does not even have front facing camera for a 20K phone besides a non-removable battery. My even older Nokia 5320 which I bought for 10K almost 4 yrs ago had one :O

ouch. its for 25k? Then it doesn't make any sense. I thought it retailed for 20k or so looking at the above posts.

Atrix 2 would be decent then I guess. You can also consider the Razr. its listed for 22k on flipkart. Same internals to the Atrix 2 but with better looks, a better screen and better build quality.

On flipkart and also in normal mobile shops (which I have visited around 4-5), they are selling S2 for around 25000 which is very high considering its more than 1yr old.

So yes, I am looking for some other phones too Atrix 2 being the best alternative. As I have said earlier this time I am insisting on Indian warranty :). My Samsung focus lasted just 1yr and no way to repair it. My first mobile - Nokia 6030 - is still being used by my family as backup mobile and is around 6 yrs old. No hardware fault till date. Also my next mobile after that - Nokia 5320 - is also being used by me currently, is also working flawlessly (around 4.5 yrs old). Why can't we get such trustworthy mobiles nowadays?? :(

A friend inquired yest the phone is selling for 24100/- in Pimpri. I have been using the S2 for a year and a half and it still makes sense in getting this phone. It still is amazing and does not lack on anything.
