Ohh k .I have posted a reply in the 5800 XM thread please head there and clear my doubts regarding GPS .I am eying on the 5800XM coz of the screen size.

What you need to know is this:

It has A-GPS, which stands for assisted GPS. In normal cases, you simply depend on the GPS chipset for a quick satellite lock but in conditions where there is a week signal, the GPS tries to retrieve information (based on the GPS data) from the servers through GPRS/EDGE, to enhance the effective of the GPS's results.

So in perfect conditions, with A-GPS turned on, it would result in faster results because of the two-way contribution.

Like desibond pointed out, you now get free nav. software for the 5800...

One of the biggest upgrades to Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is that since January 2010 all Nokia GPS-enabled Symbian handsets have free lifetime voice-guided navigation. To make use of that, the users of devices running S60 3.2 or later (and that includes all touch devices) need to download the latest 3.3 version of Ovi Maps (that’s how the Nokia Maps is known now).

Which is the most economical/VFM phone which has wifi/social networking with good music quality (at par/better than an iPod)? [Around 10k ; Optional: qwerty keypad ]
Your Options:

Samsung M5650 ~ 9.3K*

Samsung S5560 ~ 10.4K*

Nokia 5530 XM ~ 11.3K*


The SQ of the first two devices are at par with the iPod, the last one is a notch better.

I'm looking for a phone for my sister. Should be touch screen. Budget-10k, can stretch to 12 if the phone is really worth it.

Right now, she insists on the Corby Pro. 12k. But I don't think she needs the 3G/Wifi/GPS. She doesn't want the Corby regular, because it's capacitative and typing on a capacitative is tough if it's screen isn't as big as the iPhone.

What all options are there? Should be good aesthetically too ;)

Well, having WiFi on board would be worthwhile.

I was to suggest the Samsung M5650 Lindy but then, given her comfort level of typing on 2.8" capacitive display, the Corby Pro does make sense. It's slide-out "QWERTY keypad + exisitng set of features" combo would be the decisive factor, if you were to consider the music oriented Nokia 5530 XM and other lower priced touchscreen options.

Your best option seems to be the Videocon V1405 (3.2K*).

It's a videocon mobile, it meets your requirements but don't expect a lot...

Does the Nokia 5530 XM has WLAN? How is it compared to 5800XM, the differences? Thanks for the help.

yes. it has WLAN, no 3G and has smaller display (RESISTIVE touchscreen). Since the price difference between 5800XM and 5530XM is just 1k, go for 5800XM or look for Samsung i5700 Galaxy Spica. This android phone is available for 12.5k in ebay. check with frankmehta (this forum) for more detail on how to purchase and whom to contact in ebay.

What is best camera phone that one can buy on a budget of 15k?

If you can get it inside 15k, C901 is a superb phone with superb camera features that include:

5mp camera
autofocus
Xenon flash
LED flash
smile and face detection
geo-tagging

If you are okay with S40 interface, Nokia 6700 Classic is another great camera phone that comes with 5mp camera.
