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.
