Hi guys

Shortlisted to
1. Nokia C7
2. Samsung Galaxy Ace
3. Samsung Wave 2

Please suggest as per the features...Screen clarity is most imp. priority....can even stretch to Galaxy i9003 with S-LCD screen....

Also, Can android use similar features of C7 using third party Apps ?
Is S-LCD screen inferior to Amoled display ?
How is the TFT LCD Capactive screen in comparison to others mentioned above ?
Any experience of BADA OS ?

Or shud i look for Super Amoled phones like Samsung Wave or Galaxy i9000 ?

Consider the Xperia X10 white at 19.9k. It looks amazing IMO.

i purchased a SGS i 9000 on sunday for 23.5 k purely for its super AMOLED display and its better performance compared to most of the other phones
i have seen the wave 2 screen and it is indeed amazing
the same screen is udes on galaxy SL i9003 which is also an excellent purchase at its price point
i say go for i9000 if you can else get the i9003

Ace is utter waste for 15k. Dont even consider it.

The C7 is excellent VFM @ 16.5k

Else if android then get the Galaxy S I9003.

Galaxy S I9000 or I9003 ?
is i9000 worth 4K margin over i9003...
# super amoled vs SLCD
# better graphic processing chip

and how is the build quality ?

Can i go for Wave or Wave2 if android is not necessary (is there any optimistic future for BADA OS)

Are you kidding ? C7 better than Ace ?

What problem do you find in Ace ?
And you might know that Galaxy S I9003 has no flash for its camera ?

Ace is crap for video. Only supports HVGA @ 15 fps. Also display resolution is poor @ 320 x 480 pixels.

C7 beats Ace in all those departments and it also has a really good AMOLED display. Ace is better in terms of OS as it has Android.

9003 is the best bang for buck in the market period

I would say to go for Samsung wave 2. If you read the reviews you will find Bada OS is one of stable OS in the market and has lot of apps. Samsung wave 2 multimedia experience cannot be compared to any other phone in this segment. Its cost is Rs 16,699 which is a good buy.
