Go for android cuz belle has less apps and u can't run 3d/hd games on nokia 500 due to hardware limitations!! And android is open so u can try out many custom roms !!!

android any day. symbians are anyhow going to extinct soon. actually they already have, as nokia joined hands with windows. they are just providing supports and upgrades for few more years. moreover android is open source and has N times more number of apps when compared.

Enjoy~!

I sold recently my 15 days old nokia 500 its very bad phone...i personally recomend u go with other belle but dont buy 500 coz
1) low ram touchpad and phone hangs(solved if u updated)
2)there is no gpu thats why u cant play 3D/hd games
3)some apps may crash or not compatible
4)no 720p video support so u can not play HD videos
5)fixed focus and no flash in camera so poor image quility
6)it has 3G but no front camera
so overall dont buy 500 you have to go with nokia 603
i dont know abt motorola fire

Go for android cuz belle has less apps and u can't run 3d/hd games on nokia 500 due to hardware limitations!! And android is open so u can try out many custom roms !!!

How good is Motorola Fire XT? Anyone has a firsthand experience of using it? Any known custom ROM support? I am also looking for a phone for my cousin, and have to decide between Moto Fire XT and HTC Explorer...

Explorer is better than Fire XT , XT only has better Cam , even 600 mhz cpu on explorer is faster than fire XT's 800mhz cpu.

I suggest to go with Android but with at least a 1GHz processor and 512MB of ram. If not comes under budget, wait for few months but in long run, this two will be very much needed (IMO).

I agree on that.
And also a screen size of 3.5"+.
Preferable is 3.7-4.3"

either buy Nokia 630/700 if you want to experience Symbian. Symbian lack apps but most apps have made their way to Nokia Store but sadly they cost money whereas in Android most are ad supported. Else get Explorer if you can't increase budget. else check Live With Walkman from Sony.

Get a phone with physical sliding keyboard if you badly need one otherwise not.As it gives problems after 1-1.5yrs down the line.

Try this one in laughter challenge. :D

Well my bro is using SE Xperia Mini Pro. Feature wise its good at that price but yes its true that it gives problems in long run. You rely on your luck though. Moreover small screen doesn't suit android. I recommend go for xperia arc, xperia S or samsung. Samsung have some really cool ones lined up if you can shed some cash.

Enjoy~!

yesterday i saw a samsung tab in reliance digital for 19k. don't remember the model though. it had a 6 or 7" screen. Just fell in love at first sight. Was regretting buying xperia ray couple of months back although its good too (smaller screen). :(

Indeed, true. New arrivals will be never ending. Thinking that way, you will end up waiting your whole life for a better one.

Enjoy~!
