LG Optimus One P500 vs. Samsung I5800 Galaxy 3 - GSMArena.com

Edit: LinuxTechie has a even better link than this one :)

GSMArena says the P500 has 419MB of RAM :S whereas the PCworld says 512MB.

Other differences are that the P500 has a faster HSDPA (7.2Mbps vs 3.6Mbps)

But the Galaxy 3 has a slightly higher clocked proccy (667Mhz vs 600MHz)

So what do you guys suggest? Should go for LG...or is any android phone launching soon with better specs? I have a Samsung Wave S8500 and this phone is for my brother. He's quite used to the seamless, non-laggin OS of WAVE. So is there a phone in this range which even though won't have AMOLED Screen, but will have lagg-free functioning.

Where did u get that info. Really interested in knowing the processors used by various Android mobiles. The low-mid range phones never mention about the processor make in the specs list and just put out the speed of the proccy :@

Am looking for a mobile for my mom.. Budget of 3k to 4k.

Her requirements:

1. Good FM radio with internal antenna

2. MP3 player

3. Expandable memory to store those mp3s

4. Very intuitive menu system

5. Good battery backup

Of course, call quality should be excellent with very little dropped calls. A colour screen larger than 2" would be good (in fact, the larger the better). No QWERTY keys. Would prefer reputed brands (read Nokia & Samsung only). Please suggest accordingly.

Nokia 2690. Only downer would be the screen which is just 1.8" as opposed to the 2" you are looking for.

^^ Will check it out.

Edit: Just checked. The 2690 costs around 2.7k on ebay, so it is well within the budget. What are the other alternatives, for the sake of choice.

Is touch screen phones an option? Then the C3300 ~ 3.5k. 2.4" screen
The Samsung C3200~3.8k is also a good choice but battery back up seems to be less than avg. 2.2" screen.
Both the above phones come with Samsung's DNSE. So they have excellent music quality.

Else the Nokia 2700C ~ 3.5k is a decent option as it comes with a bundled microSD, slightly better camera and larger 2" QVGA screen.

Guys, Is it a good idea to buy HTC desire for 499$ at amazon and use it in India? :)
Any pros and cons?

No warranty. $499 ~ 23k. U can get a Grey market set in India for that price or even slightly lesser.(or a 1-2 months old set with 10-11 months local warranty remaining)
