hey guys!! I am in a fix. I want to buy a new mobile phone and have a budget of around 15k. But i am too confused with what i should buy. whether to go for android right now or wait for the release of symbian^3 devices (Read Nokia c6-01 or c7). The thing is within my budget there are no good android phones available ( I want a good res screen as i intend to watch movies on the go, and a good gaming device as well).
Have read lots of positive reviews about the galaxy 3, htc wildfire n xperia x8 but all of them lack a quality screen res, so not my cup of tea.
Camera and other features i don't give a damn about, So any reasonable thing will do. but the thing is i want quality applications and some good games. Checked out dotsis.com for symbian^3 games and was impressed with the level of graphics and all. you guys too check it out. each game is about 100mb in size. so it ought to be good graphic wise and also check out the snapshots!!!....
Havent used android so have no idea about its UI and the games available for it!! plus the snapshots of the games i saw (quake3droid, unreal tournament etc etc), they looked like the s60 3rd edition ones..

What do you guys think??? which is the best thing available in that budget??

At 12K Galaxy 3 or 5 is not a bad bet. Provided you are ready to overlook the screen resolution angle.

Galaxy 3 is a strict no-no. i just dont like that phone..

@sujoyp
According to specs sheet c6-01 n c7 have a graphics accelerator too.

Do we have any other android phones available in that budget? Counting out the galaxy3, wildfire n xperia x8.
