Hi All,

One of my friend is in need of a good android mobile phone around 12K.
I suggested Sony LWW, he is in a dilemma because of it 3.2 inch screen.
Kindly suggest some other models...

Also How about this one?
LG E612: Price in India, Reviews, Specification: Flipkart.com

As it is having 4 inch screen, i am planning to suggest this mobile to him
Kindly give your views

320X420 resolution on a 4" screen will look pure pathetic. And if that was not enough the processor is again a weak one. If he want a bigger screen, check Defy + at 12-13k.

LWW is a very good option in that budget.

That's a killer deal. Captivate is galaxy S with better design. There is awesome dev support for that phone and the phone is still powerful to handle almost all the apps and tasks.

that Samsung Galaxy S deal comes with 1 Year Dealer warranty :p ...always go with Manufacturer warranty

Better go with Sony Live with walkman or wait for Sony Xperia Miro :)

@Rahul: I suggested him LWW at first... Because of the 3.2 inch screen he is not that much interested towards it... Also he tried getting Galaxy Ace and I told a big NO to that..

I second that. But if you are fine with it, then its a hot deal. But its not much advisable... but well again, thats the only reason why you are getting that in much lesser price.

If screen is an issue, then you can suggest him Motorola Defy (or Defy Plus), its 3.7" (better than 3.2) and it has better CPU than the one you are asking for.
