Hi guys,

Finally my ancient mobile died on me. Hence looking for a new one. Till date, I have been using lower end mobiles with the only objective to make and receive calls.

Now I want to upgrade myself to a smarter phone.

My main requirement
1. Reliability (wont be changing my mobile for atleast 3-4 yrs)
2. Good touch screen (Just for the experience)
3. Music (Want to get rid of my Sandisk player. would want to listen to music while on the move via bluetooth)
4. Camera (wont be my primary camera so quality of photos is not that important)
5. GPS (Though I prefer to use Eicher Road Atlas, just for the heck of it, would like to use GPS as well )
6. Budget 15-17k

Based on these requirements I have shortlisted

Nokia X6
Samsung Wave
Nokia C6

My questions:

1. Should I go for X6-16GB or wait for 8GB model? any idea how much will be the price difference?
2. Wave is good in all respects, except for GPS usability...i mean no ovi maps...and I would not like to have gprs activated!...any other alternatives....can I use satnav maps on this phone?
3. C6..is still not released...could have waited for it...but then read that the price range is going be arnd 20k! Should I wait for it to be released?

Since I have an backup phone..I can wait for a month or two for something more tempting to be released.

Are there any new releases lined up which would be worth waiting for?
Appreciate your responses.
Thanks

if offline maps is priority 1 and if you don't want to enable GPRS or internet on phone, why pay 15k-17k in first place. Won't Nokia 5235 does the job pretty well?

GPS
3G
unlimited music subscription (for one year)
ovi maps

so, as a result you save around 8k. Get an 8gig microSD and you are set!
 
^Completely agree on that...actually I think 3.2mp camera is good enough for me...

but then, since my wife already has 5233, I was thinking of getting something different... thats the only reason for looking at other decent touchscreen gps enabled phones.
