Motorola Atrix 2: Price in India, Reviews, Specification: Flipkart.com

Sony Xperia P: Price in India, Reviews, Specification: Flipkart.com

Sony Xperia Neo L: Price in India, Reviews, Specification: Flipkart.com

Buy Xperia Sola or Motorola Atrix 2. Or Sensation if you can find it but remember Sensation is more powerful than both above 2 but with bad battery life.

Xperia Sola for 18k looks good.
You can even have a look at Xperia P which costs 22k but some people say that its battery back up is not upto the mark.
And can also have a look at HTC Sensation which costs 22-23k

Buy Sony Xperia Sola

K

Only problem with sola is small screen 3.7 inch ..want atleast 4 inch for reading & browsing .... Besides Xperia P does not have an expansion slot .. and no developer support for either ......... Atrix 2 looks good ... But any people have experience with motorola ?? Do they have service centres spread over india ....... I could not find any in Mangalore ...

Get Samsung galaxy S advance it has 4" screen plus its super amoled.

Sola has stereo speakers ?

Xperia S *www.ebay.in/itm/SONY-Xperia-S-LT26...bile_Phones&hash=item416d1c03fc#ht_9037wt_906

Has anybody had any experience with the above seller ... In case the phone is only covered under seller warranty can the phone be serviced at any of the sony service centers if am ready to pay ??

The prices of Xperia S and SL have dropped

Sony Xperia S Price in India, Buy Sony Xperia S, Reviews & Features, Sony Mobiles India - Infibeam.com

For 24 k any thing else that can be considered ??

Xperia S is out of AOSP ... But the source codes are out ,,, That means good dev support and More custom roms ...

What say u guys ????

Below 25k, Xperia S all the way. You get a decent fast processor, brilliant display and ton of memory (without memory card).

Xperia P for 17,250 at Ebay. Get your price reduced further with CouponCodes.

I placed an order for Xperia P on Monday from the above dealer for 17,990 with ICICI coupon code off (7%, max Rs. 1000), effectively Rs. 16,990. Got it on Wednesday (2 days

) along with a leather pouch, a screen gaurd and a silicon cover (all three of ok quality). The package contained, the phone, battery, charger+ usb cable, headset and manual). I was expecting some NFC tags, but there was none. The same vendor has two for Rs. 390 though.

P.S: Ordered the mobile for my friend.

will you be happy to get a beast of a device at 25k with just 4GB internal storage (total 8GB)? it'll clearly be money wasted. Don't wait.

if you get it for less than 20k, then maybe yes. But Sony service center won't. and even if they do the asking price will be way too high.

How about this deal ???

Brand New Original & Sealed Sony Xperia S - LT26i | eBay

Also the Acro S , Since its the same as Xperia S but with Sd card slot and further its water and dust proof ...

Brand New Original & Sealed Sony Xperia Acro S - LT26w - Black Color | eBay

Have decided to buy the phone from one of the trusted sellers on Ebay ... I enquired in the Authorized Sony service centre in Mangalore, They said that they will only give warranty if the IMEI number of the phone is meant for India otherwise will have to pay for the service ... That seems like a fair deal, considering that the phones hardly need any service in the first one or two years,,,

So waiting for Acro S to be officially released in India...
