u can also check out MOTOROLA MILESTONE XT720...( may have to shell out a bit more than your budget.... not too much though... also depends on the vat/sales taxes etc)

The best thing is the Android OS (v 2.1)... so that sorts out all the problems of symbian.

Great looks.. also supports multi touch.... n' lot of stuff

Comes loaded with all u can think of n' need in a phone...

My friend got one yesterday.... 30k flat...

Am shortlisting a GPS touchscreen phone and Nokia 5230 fits the bill. Had a n00b query - does GPS works without GPRS? Also, apart from Ovi maps, can we use Satguide maps (when I buy it)?

GPS works without GPRS, but it takes longer time to lock onto satelites.

Nokia Ovi maps on GPS enabled Nokia phone works like a charm. once in a while you will get updates for maps which is when you need GPRS/EDGE/3G.

1) Nokia 5800XM or SE Hazel. one is touch phone other is not. each is unique in it's own way and both cost around 12k. You can also wait for Samsung i5800 android device if you can. Given your priority, Touch2 does make sense. Are you actually looking for a phone that supports MS Exchange push email functionality?

Please suggest me the options. TIA. :)

if you can pay some extra cash in data plans, a blackberry would suit your needs perfectly. I am very very weak in this dual sim phones thingie. wait for others to respond on that. Any phone that supports "Exchange ActiveSync support" will do in your case and generally Nokia E series and Blackberry are the best of the lot.
