This might be of some help.

$329 Nokia N8 bargain expires in 4 days - Phone Arena

But before going for a phone, post your requirements & budget here.

G

Hello,
My budget is Rs.23000 max and NOKIA N8 fulfills all my requirements perfectly, like great camera and other multimedia capabilities, so you can say that I need a phone that can compete or can beat NOKIA N8, so please let me know some other handset from some other brand.Thank you.

If you want Camera & Multimedia only (BTW, what do you mean by multimedia ?), then go for the N8.

Nokia N8 has a good camera and excellent built quality. What I hate about it is its software. It is an outdated product which makes this phone totally useless.

Please go to a local store and check out Samsung Galaxy S, and then compare it with Nokia N8.

Since you are ready to spend 22k on a phone, first of all, please check out this Video (Youtube) Comparison of Samsung Galaxy S and Nokia N8 (22 minutes long...)

Cheers!

@pauldmps
For me Multimedia means good camera, good video recording, nice music and video playback.actually, I need a phone that should be complete package in itself, like its looks should be good, it should be something unique and it should be smartphone and provides applications so that I can extend its functionality and provide other general features of today like 3g etc. Its should have touch screen and most importantly have huge storage space either internal memory or external memory.I know I can get a very good deal in Rs.23000 but please let me know some other models that can provide more and similar features compare to NOKIA N8, and as I told NOKIA N8 fulfills my all the requirements so please keep this in mind recommend some other brands phone.Thank you

The N8 will not fulfill your this requirement. For that you need Android-based phone. Check out Samsung Galaxy S & the Galaxy SL. Also check out Sony Ericsson Neo.

go ahead with N8. Though the apps are not as many as there are in Android, it should work for you.

I guess u will get N8 < 22k

a phone to beat N8....no phone can beat it in camera department...else
it got already beaten..... :))

Well I say....and iphone user or android user(HTC,Galaxy) will
feel N8 weird in their hands..bcoz of Sluggish UI & touch when compared....
also in HW department it fails..... :mrgreen:

Hello,
to all of you.
I was in the local market to search some suitable phone, as you all advised I looked Samsung Galaxy S I9000, the local retailers told me that samsung has discontinued it and introduced a new GALAXY SL, I am not impress with it, anyways, I could not find some HTC mobile in mine budget of Rs.23000, if there is then please let me know.Thank you for reading my post.
Regards,
GEEKCOMPUTER_GEEK

^^ The local retailers are lying. Samsung Galaxy S is still Samsung's best phone till date. Galaxy SL is just a cheaper version of the original Galaxy S.

Go to a larger store. If you live in Hyderabad, AP, then PM me. I know a good place. Or try MobileStore or Univercell.

You seem like new to smartphones. In that case, Nokia N8 would be good for you. Android is complicated. You might also try to get a new iPhone 3Gs for around 25k.

Cheers!

Hello,
@androidFan
Firstly, thank you very much for the advice of buying APPLE IPHONE 3GS, actually, I read it also on the Net that SAMSUNG GALAXY S is discontinued by Samsung, anyways, How's SONY ERICSSON XPERIA NEO OR PRO? Is that phone in my budget? and please let me know when can we expect some Windows 7 phone from NOKIA?Thank you for reading this post.

GEEKCOMPUTER_GEEK

go ahead with N8 its an excellent phone n will fulfill all ur needs.. Yes apps r a bit problem but well hang on its not a that big problem cos thrs plenty of apps already available for N8 which is more than enuf although Android is a current ruler but dun forget its all bcos of symbian.. They only set this trend of smartphones n ruled the world till android happened.

N8's camera is just fantastic i personally used it n liked it now m using E7

n8 has got everything u need so go ahead with that and N8's price is 21.5k not 23k

V

For you N8 could be good. And u have a htc phone in ur budget. Htc desire @ 21k.

But if u could wait then wait for se xperia neo. It's got evrythng u need. Excellent cam, screen and other multimedia stuff u mentioned

N8 price is 21.8k in Thane

Samsung Galaxy S 4G is NOT the same as Galaxy SL 4GB.

Galaxy S 4G has not yet been released, but is expected soon.

HTC Desire is available in two versions... One with Amoled screen and the other with SLCD screen. Don't know about the version numbers, but a HTC Desire is the same, wherever you buy...

Total Recall :grin:

wait for Incredible S, SE Neo...also just read abt HTC Pyramid but its out of your budget

Hey I would suggest ebay as one get the best deals over there with full description and also u can ask questions to the sellers.
I have purchased a couple of products from ebay.in and your money is also secured in it and you can check which seller offers the least price....

abhidev said:

Incredible is already launched in India and you can get it from any store within a week and if talk about SE Neo then it is availabe on flipkart for preorder and a guess it will also be available in market in a couple of weeks

@Suyash
One expects more when paying >21k for a phone....
not just to set different walls on homescreens ...even the year old Samsung Star can do that ....

Except the camera there is nothing to look into N8......and if it is the reason one buys the device....get a digicam and a android smartphone
N8-21.5k
LG O1/Galaxy3 ....both have proccy speed equivalent to N8..

Well the thing u missed was ......that it is more of a closed platform....
No Modding...
No rooting....no cynogen ...what would onw do without it.....
No usable APPS.....damn symbian..not even a simple one to get movie locations and booking

.......

@OP
if you want to invest into a N8 don't buy for the above reasons posted for N8...it is a decent phone..u might like it as you seem to be new to smartphones but you will soon grow out of it and will demand more but then ur device i.e if u get N8 will not be able to cope up and then maybe u will regret ur choice....

So if you are looking for a phone which will last u for sometime and will grow with u get a HTC desire/Galaxy S/SL...or even a Morotorla defy(no HD).....

Incredible S has already launched??? How much does it cost???

I liked SE NEO looks wise but m bit hesitant coz the SE Service center cost me my W910i and more importantly the specs are not worth it....

abhidev said:

It is under 27K,don't know exact market rate...
SE also lacks in the ram(it has a low/less ram) and also SE is famous for day by day decreasing the rates of their mobile just like Nokia(it is like u bought a phone for 25k and only in a couple of weeks it is available for 20k in a market and in couple of months for 15k)...
So it is not the same for HTC....
And also the build quality of HTC phones are much better than SE or nokia...i have used many nokia high end phones and currently I own a HTC for more than 1.5yrs,I m must say it as awesome and very much durable...So my next one will most probably be a HTC(most probably Incredible S) as iphone 4 is costing a lot more....

Hello,
to all of you.
Firstly, thank you very much for all the advices some against N8 and some in the favour of N8, I have checked all the handsets that mentioned here like from Samsung, HTC etc, Actually I came across a post on the NOKIA discussion forum about the N8 : Nokia Support Discussions - My Nokia N8 is dead,can't turn on and can't chargi... - Nokia Support Discussions, I want to know that Is this thing also happening here in India?
@suyash
I am impressed with the features that you described about N8, thank you. But Can you say something about the above problem of N8? Thank you for reading this post.
Regards,
GEEKCOMPUTER_GEEK

^^ That problem was common in the first few lots of phones that shipped. Newer phones on't have this problem.

remember one thing that the processing of N8 is really very slow and it also hangs a lot,that same problem of nokia...I have experienced it...
so think before u buy it...
the only thing in that phone is camera n FM transmitter and nothing else...
