1) best camera under 10k for touchscreen phone ?

2) best camera under 10k for Non Touchscreen phone ?

3) touch screen + 3G + Video calling & Skype support + Good cam within 10k ?

1. Samsung Wave 723 S7233 - 9k (Seems like a special price. Was selling for 11k 2 days back. According to GSMarena cam is better than even the Wave flagship) S7233: Buy Samsung Wave 723 S7233: Price, Reviews: Flipkart Mobiles (Titan Gray)

2. SE Hazel - 10k Sony Ericsson Hazel Price: Buy Sony Ericsson Hazel: Price, Reviews: Flipkart Mobiles (Black)

Bot the phones have full range of connectivity options.

Hazel has a front cam. Not sure of Skype support for it.

Another query..

Best touchscreen for internet under 10k ?

 

[raksrules]

How much should i expect for a 11 months old, Nokia 5230.

Have original box, earphones i need to check if i have or not. The stylus is replacement one but of original quality (i can assure on this front as before this too i had bought a stylus which was bad quality).

Covered with gadgetshielz since last six months (approx)

Have a 4GB card to go with it.

 

[Superbad]

^ a new one costs around 6~7k.
So reduce the price by half and decide the amount you want to negotiate it for.

I want to go for an android phone for about 16K. I don't mind putting in 1-2K here and there if I get a killer phone for that budget. Just got to know that Samsung Galaxy Ace has launched. My friends suggest putting 3K more and to go for Defy. What do you guys suggest? SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE or MOTOROLA DEFY? If you think there's a phone worth waiting for then suggest that too. Let me know ASAP!

Hi everyone,

I want to buy a Dual Sim Dual Active Mobile NOT Dual Sim Dual Standby.
1. Dual Sim Dual Standby means you can use one sim at a time while during your call the other sim will not be accessible.
2. Dual Sim Dual Active means your other sim will also active while using other sim. If you are talking with Sim1 then at the same time call can be received on Sim2 as well.

Does anyone know any brand that has the feature of Dual Active, so please advice?

Best Regards

^^ Do you want for TEXTING or TOUCHSCREEN?

TEXTING(has hardware qwerty keypad):

1. Nokia C3

2. Samsung COrby Pro(I think it has touch)

TOUCHSCREEN(no hardware keypad):

1. Nokia 5250(excellent sound and loudspeaker)

2. Nokia 5233

3. Nokia 5230

@comp@ddict, Thanks for the advise. She isn't a heavy texter. Also corby pro is out of my budget. However if touchscreen is present, I prefer it to be capactive. Do you suggest Sony Ericsson Zylo (or) Samsung Wave 525 over Nokia 5230 as the latter seems to have resistive touch?
