Hi fellas..
I need a new phone with the following

1. Price under 15k
2. Camera 5MP and autofocus
3. Full touch - no qwerty
4. Android 2.3.3 atleast

Was considering the Samsung galaxy Ace plus OR HTC wildfire s.
HELP !!!
Any other suggestions?

Sony Neo V or Live with walkman.

Neo V under 15k?

Increase your budget, get HTC One V...

Yea Exactly get HTC one if you can increase your budget.
But Stay Away from ACE and htc wildfire has some problems.
If you cant increase get live with walkman or xperia mini pro

'ace plus' has a 1 ghz proc

V

Live with walkman.
If you can increase your budget a bit, go for htc one v or sony neo V.

S

ok then I guess would go for Live with Walkman..

how much is the neo v for (street price) ?

One V looks like the Legend.. a phone I hate.

I spotted the neo V in Reliance Digital for 17.7k. You can find it cheaper elsewhere, I think.
Htc one v has got decent reviews everywhere. Just Google it

I was talking about Ace, not plus.

HTC One V is a very different beast from Legend... Its a lot better than competition for the price it is being offered...

What is the screen resolution of Ace Plus? Modern smartphones are 90%+ screens, and so they have to be of excellent quality. Processors, Cameras, etc are important too, but secondary....

So one should buy a phone that has an awesome screen res bundled with a VGA Camera and 300 Mhz processor!?

Processor is the primary checkpoint mate.

since its for my mom's usage, dont think processor should matter much to her.but i want to give the best available in the budget.

Brother, doesn't matter who uses it, if the processor isn't good, it'll p*ss the user off.

Guys stop discussing about essential components of a smartphone.

Every aspect is equally important and a good phone is that one which has right balance b/w Hardware and Software Components.

900Mhz processor on qvga display is as non sense as A 800*480 display on 400mhz processor.

@OP Get Neo V or HTC one V if possible.Nice phones.

S

ok so if i can extend above 15k then Neo V, else sony live with walkman..

LIW. Neo V may turn out to be a bit too big for your mon.

Please list for me a couple of phone which have awesome screen resolution but run on 300 MHz...

^^ Dont give him such a hard time :wink:

BTW if 640*360 can be considered as AWESOME resolution then most S60V5 like N97 featured the same resolution though the processors are clocked at higher side of 300mhz--434Mhz to be exact.

S60 is designed for 200-300Mhz processors. now some have 1Ghz processor but even Nokia knows that it can't use more than 500Mhz and lack of graphics chip means it'll remain plain slow.

Increase your budget upto 16 or 17k and get any among Neo V, HTC One V and Incredible S

Neo V - Poor general build quality. Worst are the flaps/covers on top - just thin plastic. Would most likely break off soon. And I don't think they can be replaced.

HTC One V - No magnetometer. That makes GPS half as useful. Don't buy if navigation is important.

The build quality of Neo V is that bad, ya its not as good like the HTC phones but still its ok

R

Its just barely ok. But as I said the flaps on top are the worst. Once they break off the phone will look real bad from the top and since they have provided flaps, its just likely that dust whatever else from the top may travel somewhere where its not supposed in, inside the phone's innards. Just a possibility...

Remember the Optimus One's dust issue?

T

neo V is available for ~15k at ebay pretty often. maybe you could go with that. but otherwise i'd agree spend a little more and get HTC One V

Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman or Neo V (if you can increase budget a bit)

HTC One V Most defintitely. She will only care about the looks , and HTC One V is excellent. It's interface , HTC Sence UI 4 is also very nice.

P

Yes... go for htc one v.

Desire S is available at 16K at saholic.

^^^
It was available on ebay for the same price last week with the help of 10% coupon.
