^ 3G+ Wi-Fi in a 6k budget is difficult to get(the Micromax Andro A60 has it. But it plain sucks. Avoid it at all costs)

1. Motorola Defy (the best one inside 15k)

2. Nokia C6-01 and C7

3. HTC Wildfire:S

4. Samsung Galaxy Ace (only if you are a big fan of Samsung)

X1-01 vs E1252 major difference is E1252 being Dual Sim Dual Standby rest both are similar with E2152 having extra feature like VGA Camera.

Windows phone :hap2:
Buy HTC Mozart or if you can extend your budget a little more get HTC HD7.
HTC Mozart has 8GB memory while HTC HD7 has 16GB memory.

Buy it ASAP cause the prices are cheap on Flipkart and nowhere else. Letsbuy sells the same HTC HD7 for a whopping 28k.
HTC Mozart has a got a 8 mpX camera, while the HTC HD7 has a 5 mpX camera. Both of them are capable of 720p HD video recording.

Need to buy a phone for my mom. It has to be a dual phone . And should be very easy to use. Her last phone was Nokia 1616 (submerged in milk by my 2 year old nephew) and she found it pretty comfortable. She could send 4-5 words sms's via it and found it very handy.

So here's the list. Let me know which phone is better.

1. Nokia X1-01

2. Samsung Hero E2232

3. Samsung Guru Dual 25 E1225

She won't really use a camera, but the Hero looked comfy with that keypad. Or if there's anything else you guys can suggest to be added to the list...AWESOME!

(No MaxX, Spice, Onidas etc.)

Mobile for reading and surfing

Dear all,

Please help me decide. I have been transferred to a remote and rural place with no internet. I have an exam coming up for which I need to read up a lot. I do not have access to newspapers and magazines. I have a Samsung Metro S3310 which has Opera Mini installed on it. This is my primary internet device and my dear helpful friend.

I access the Hindu newspaper website and catch up on current affairs. I also browse through online editions of magazines. Besides this I also frequent Wikipedia.

My Samsung Metro is old and has many scratches on the screen. Besides reading at a stretch on the 2.1 inch screen is giving my eye strain and headaches.

I have tried to get the BSNL exchange to provide me with a landline and broadband connection but I am not sure as to when that would happen. Tata photon plus or Reliance Netconnect+ do not function here. The best that I can get is Vodafone EDGE. I do connect my cell phone to my laptop to access the internet (like I am doing now) but browsing is very slow compared to Opera Mini on the phone.

(I am sorry this is getting longer than I intended)

Besides, I also get time during work hours. I use it to read on my cell.

I am been thinking of buying a big screen phone. My budget as of now is around 10,000. The two models I have found suitable after browsing several threads on TE and the suggestions made therein are -
1. Dell XCD35
2. Lg Optimus One

Which one would be better for me needs?
I would also love to have doc and pdf support so I can access JSTOR articles.

Availability of mods would be a plus too. I have attempted to install and use several OS on my laptop - Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora and MacOSX86. As of now I would not have time for customization but would definitely love to after my exam in November. I have been waiting eagerly to get my first Android :)

The Dell has a 3.5 inch screen and a better resolution (480X800) while the O1 has 3.2 and 320X480 resolution. Dark Angel mentioned that the Optimus One would be faster because the processor has to drive lesser pixels but I maybe can give up a little speed for more readability.

I read up that the Dell XCD35 has 512 Mb Ram but letsbuy shows it as 256. Do the new models have 256 Mb ram?

I can also wait for a month, save up and buy the Defy or Nexus if you so suggest. But preferably I would like to get started right away.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Ummmm. So basically it has to work as a second computer for you eh? I would suggest the following phone:

1. Flipkart.com: Samsung Galaxy Pro B7510: Mobile : Good processor. Comfortable qwerty for browsing. 2K cashback at Flipkart. Might get a better deal with coupons on Letsbuy. Brother uses it and loves it.

2. Your choice of LG Optimus and Dell Xcd ties at 2nd place. But I favour LG more since it comes with and upgraded version of android.

3. Wait it out for a month and you'll sure have more choices. And if your budget increases, maybe you can go for a better phone.
