Better extend the budget a bit and get the LG Optimus One P500. Price should be in the 9.5k-10k range.

As per Gsmarena NO DUAL SIM, also not looking for qwerty

Chat 322 is indeed Dual-sim.

Spec wise the LG is superior to the Samsung's in the same price range. Try and convince your dad

Ask him to try the O1 once. I bet his opinions about LG will change.

It is a good phone for the price. DO keep in mind that it won't carry a warranty in India. If you want a similar phone that is available in India, get the LG O1.

Guys kindly suggest a phone for a female friend for around Rs.9,000.

Main requirements: Should have decent audio quality and camera. Auto focus must.

No Nokia and LG Optimus please. She finds optimus to be fat!

Get her the Samsung Galaxy Pop. Though the Screen Resolution is not really a strong point for the phone...

 

[PhotostarSR]

^^But pop seems to be having bad camera as it doesnt even have autofocus

I asked this before but got no reply, asking again:

Is 3.85k a good price for Nokia X2-01?

Yeah the phone has a good qwerty KB with decent OS, audio quality, screen and build. But only an below avg. camera (VGA)
So if you dont mind the cam then its a good qwerty phone at that price

Oh ok. But i dont like the shape of the O1 at all. Blade seems to be more fascinating! And can you also tell me what with the screens, i mean some are OLED and some are LCD/TFT ?

AMOLED ones are difficult to get but the AMOLED ones are super crisp. Far better than LCD.

If you get the AMOLED one, go for it ASAP... else, even the LCD is not that bad.

 

[apocalypsepwnz]

^^ X10 is a good choice considering that SE has announced Gingerbread update for it. Don't go for the Mini Pro. Wave II is not a good choice either due to its OS.

Can you mention your budget & priorities so that we can suggest you the best handset in your budget ?

Hmm, i see well my budget may extend to 25 K's bt as i have around 15 @ hand, so i was thinking of buying the aforementioned phones.. bt seems X10 is worth the wait.. yeah BADA isnt my cup of tea with Android around.. bt i liked the AMOLED screen of wave.. is xperia x10 good enuf or shud i wait for the Xperia Arc?... btw hw good is SE Yendo? i wanna buy it for my younger sister!

Plz suggest a phone within 20k for a friend (girl)
I'm thinking of a good mid-high end android phone. But I'm not uptodate with the latest android phones. I think SE and Samsung have a good android lineup.

So plz suggest some good android phones within 15-20k. Also suggest any non-android phones within the range which u think are good (I dunno why ppl would go for non-android phones now but I could be missing somthing)
