Where is the ethical dilemma in this?

you are taking that google"dont be evil" crap way too seriously.

Where is the ethical dilemma in this?

yes, same question what is the ethical dilemma?!!!

If your needs are just what you outlined, I would suggest the WP7, its a lovely fluid and simple interface, have personally used the Lumia 710, sturdy and good vfm phone.

 

[cooleagle]

Ethical ?

What did your read about Android/WP that you put you in an ethical dilemma ?

Anyways here are the ones in your budget which you can consider:

- Nokia Lumia 710 (Has Nokia offline Maps)

- Samsung Omnia W (Has an AMOLED display)

- HTC One V (If you are fine with its design its a pretty fine piece)

Hope this helps.

I been an android user for 2 years. Recently got Omnia W and I'm really happy with it.

ethical dilemma was to attract the experts.. becoz this was the first time i posted my requirement 2 times and no one replied . i don't exactly remeber the threads. so i thought leave it all i'll start my own thread ..

my apologies

this was wrong.

the thing that crapped out most was firstly the samsung's music player . for me it suck's i mean you don't allow the user to enjoy 2 kinds of effects at the same time .

second was i read a lot that nokia lumia hangs ..

third many people said that the speed of internet browsing on windows phones was less than androids

fourth the camera . for samsung w it was crisp and clear images whereas for nokia lumia it was more natural colours .

fifth nokia's tune ups with windows mango and samsung hadn't done anything as far as my knowledge goes .

sixth the apps on windows are hell less than android...

i don't know what kind of music player samsung has handed out on windows phone..

and since my knowledge is so less by far i even don't know that if the music player i saw on samsung galaxy s is a standard with all android phone or not ...

my bad :[

Would suggest to try to get a focus and see for yourself the apps, camera. Then sell it off for a bit lower, and get the WP phone if you like the windows platform. Else, goto a nokia gallery and try the Lumia. Otherwise Android is always there for you.

any knowledge about the music player .is [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] the music player i saw on samsung galaxy s is a standard with all android phones or its different for different android phones....[/font]

 

[vantheman5211]

if you are more into apps then get an htc v.

if you only use the very important apps and want a better interface with regular updates then get the nokia 710.you will find it a tad bit faster than most android phones in that budget and a bit easier as well.the only thing it will lack is apps.

 

[vivek.krishnan]

Dunno as I am using a rooted phone with SlimICS myself.

guys changed my mind now i'm soooo much interested in buying motorola defy +

. you people know any owner or if you could tell me pros and cons of it

 

[vivek.krishnan]

#[member='sunny27'] Your services are required. Finally someone wants to get the Defy+.

 

[sunny27]

You can check the reviews of Defy/Defy+ online. Remember when it rains you will be glad you bought a defy.

 

[abhisinalkar]

go for defy+

 

[MrGhost]

For Android experience Defy+ is way amazing phone and if you're looking for cons i think that's best phone in this range

 

[vivekjha0208]

#[member='Maya2009']

sorry didn't get you . ' for cons best phone' ??

#[member='sunny27']

lots of reviews are talking about mods to the firmware. is it really that necessary to change it?

 

[sunny27]

Its upto you. Rooting and applying a custom rom would in a better phone with better performance.

 

[comp@ddict]

HTC One V is the best choice IMO

 

[MrGhost]

I'm saying that it's the phone who don't have any cons in that budget phone so that's why Defy is a good phone
