What to buy from US @ 15k INR? EDIT: Bought a Lumia 822

[coolcatric]

Fellas !

Friend just went to US yesterday, i have asked him to get "something" for me...Now he said, send me link of "something" so that he can buy the same there.

Options -

1. i was looking forward to buy Lumia 620 for dad from India. Can i get a good deal on some other mobile in US (Motorola / Nexus)

2. Or a 10 inch 3G tablet.

The major criteria to buy will be price difference viz-a-viz US & India prices. + the default features and etc.

Budget - 15K.


Please suggest...

Thanks..

Nexus 4

Instead of the Lumia 620, try getting a Lumia 820. It is a world phone and most pieces come with GSM unlocked.

IMO, at under 15k, the best device that you can lay your hands on is thee nexus 7 32GB.

Nexus 7. You could also try to get a Chromebook.

How is Nexus 7 versus lumia 620 ?

 

[rajkumar_pb]

Nexus 7 - Tablet , 620 - Phone. So no comparison. Just try to get Nexus 4 if you can. Else go with Lumia 620, which may be cheaper in US.

I think you meant Lumia 822.

I think you meant Lumia 822.

Right, thanks for correcting.

 

[coolcatric]

how about nexus 4 mobile phone ?

 

[rajkumar_pb]

^^ I already suggested you. If you can get it, this is the best mobile you can get from US. Pure Android experience.

Add some bucks and get Nexus 4 Worth it!

 

[coolcatric]

The best i can find is this - Nexus 4 (8GB) - Appx 405$

I think you should get a Nexus 4 and forget the rest of the choices. Even the 8GB is fine if you have budget constraints but I would strongly recommend the 16Gb one.[DOUBLEPOST=1364150991][/DOUBLEPOST]Also you it costs $364 (16GB) in US from Google play store. DO NOT buy it from eBay or Amazon or letsbuy.

 

[coolcatric]

Can you please share the link ? For both 8GB and 16GB.

Thank you[DOUBLEPOST=1364314736][/DOUBLEPOST]bump...

@coolcatric, this is what I see:

Among slightly used: http://www.ebay.com/itm/330897147716

Among new: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171013731771

I don't see a lot of difference between these two, and the sellers are both reputed. I would personally check with the first link seller before spending $50 extra on the second brand new one.

Thanks a ton @agantuk

I guess the used one seems just fine. But it says CDMA/LTE, so will it work with BSNL India GSM ?

Do check with him & let know. Also, i guess under 10K these are the best deals i can get. How much a Nexus 4 (8GB) will cost, i was able to find somewhere around 374$. Any chance of Getting that below 15k ??

Thanks again.

Saving a few bucks? nah ... I would advise buy something that is hard if not impossible to get here - like an inflatable doll companion

I don't think it will work with GSM networks.
