So, onto my current situation
I am in need for a good smartphone for my wife. Budget is around 10 to 20k (lower the better though but can be increased if it's really worth it) because I will be using the EMI option on my CC
Anyways, currently, she has a Reliance CDMA phone, which really sucks, and I would like to gift her a touchscreen phone
Since she currently has a Reliance CDMA number, my option is to either go for another CDMA phone or port her number to Idea GSM
So any good CDMA or GSM phone will do
Also, what about both GSM+CDMA ? What about those Motorola RAZR M/HD/Maxx, etc ones ? Need to do a little bit of research on that too
Also, I saw a Galaxy S3 CDMA. Is it worth getting it ? How about the Iphone 4/4s CDMA ? Need to do a whole lotta research on that one too 
Anyways, this is my current situation. Her birthday is coming up on Jan 29th, so would like to surprise her.
Thanx a lot in advance guys. Desperately waiting for a reply
PS: Online connectivity for WhatsApp/Facebook is very important
[DOUBLEPOST=1389404411][/DOUBLEPOST]Alright, after reading a lot of threads and doing a lot of online research, it seems my best option specs and price wise is to wait for Moto G to officially launch in India
Here is hoping it is here before 29th Jan 
Nonetheless, I am open to more suggestions
