A: 3G.

9. Q: What is your intended use for this phone(internet, camera, multimedia, mails, etc)?

A: Camera, Music (this should rock my socks off) and Calling. I have Ipad2 for other things.

10. Q: Any other requirements?

A: Don't require dual sim at all. And it should have a decent dev support for future updates.

11. Q: If you have already considered a phone then please mention the model.

A: HTC One V

Then some blah:

I liked SE Ray, but it doesn't have an auto-flash it seems. Although it was available for about 13.5K on ebay. Also, I was considering an used iPhone 4G (16 GB) for 20K, but the seller wasn't coming down at all from 24k. You think I can get one in 18-19K?

Then, some more blah:

If there's a phone which can be had for less than 18K, better. Rest of the money can be donated generously to Mr. Jack and Miss. Bacardi foundation.

HTC One V.

And no Iphone 4. In Apple terms, its obsolete.

im reading in a few reviews that the HTC ONE V has a laggy processor?

Laggy processoe, slow default Internet Browser and a just-decent camera..

Also the featured Beats Audio is nothing but pre-installed equalizer settings.

I think you can get a Motorola Atrix 2 for 20-21K locally
Instead of a used phone better extend your budget a bit and get Atrix 2

You can have a look at Xperia U or One V

 

[sirlon]

if you can shed 2 k more, you will have the option of Xperia Sola. Difference between Xperia u and Sola would be an added micro SD card option. I am not sure if U has the NFC tags option. If no, the best buy would be Sola. Comparison between HTC one V and Sola would be dual core processor. However, HTC has an advantage of Out of Box ICS.

LG Thrill 4g available for sell @ 18000/-, Used less then 1 month with screen guard & silicon case, no scratches on screen a body, looks new.

 

[comp@ddict]

I recommend one of these:

- Sony Xperia Sola
- Motorola Atrix 2
- HTC Sensation

Worth the budget increase

If you are not strict on Indian warranty, you can pick up a good dual core in your price range from the TE market section.

 

[ravihpa]

Dude, I would recommend you to wait up a little and let the Galaxy S3 get released. Am sure the prices of S2 will decrease, and even now, you can easily get a barely used Galaxy S2 at a price point of 20k, that too within Indian warranty

Get sola under 19k from homshop18

​Sony Ericsson Xperia Sola Mobile Phone (Pre Booking) . Buy Best Sony Ericsson Xperia Sola Mobile Phone (Pre Booking) at Lowest Price Online

 

[haris5sani]

Sola has pathetic battery life, one of my friend is regretting after buying it.

Better go for 2nd hand dual core phones in Market section !!

 

[Dark Star]

^^Its not even out yet how come he has it ? Every site has listed on preoder basis.

But yeah a dual core with 1320maH battery won't last long.

 

[jaffa]

u can go for sony xperia sola for under 20k
if u can increase ur budget another 2 to 3 k u can get motorola atrix 2 for 22 to 23 k.
