hey guys!!
i m planning to buy a new cellphone next week.. but i m pretty much confused in some models.. having a max budget of 25k, i wanna buy something good which is worth the money.. i m pretty much interested in these phones:
* samsung galaxy sl
* samsung galaxy s- amoled
* any htc phone which can compete above two

or if there is any other gud model, do suggest....
i came to know today that most probably samsung galaxy sII may come next week bt it will cost more than 30k so cant buy that therefore its ruled out nw:-(

1. SE Xperia Neo (my pick)
2. HTC Incredible S (mediocre camera)
3. Samsung Galaxy S (no flash for camera)

won't suggest to go for samsung galaxy S as it is not going to get gingerbread update soon and also if we compare it look wise than also the phone is not good...and no flash as said by pauldmps.
Both Incredible S and Neo are very good phones.
I would suggest to go to xperia store and get your hands on SE neo as it is on display/demo in the stores and also try to get your hands on Incredible S and then decide.

I have a friend who works for Samsung. His job is to port Samsung Galaxy S to new Android flavors. He told me 2 weeks back that Galaxy S 9000 has been ported to Gingerbread already, and was under testing in Korea.

Give it a few weeks... Galaxy S will be on Gingerbread...

i think you meant the other way round. porting ---> way of making OS/software run on a different device. so Gingerbread is ported to SGS. also this news has been talked a few times as some early builds got leaked.

I would say that Xperia Neo would be the best pick

yes... you are right... :D :lol: Gingerbread has been ported to Galaxy S.

I wonder why Samsung employs Indian programmers for such an important update. They should look for quality stuff instead...

Very few Indian programmers are as good as their Western counterparts... I have nothing to back it up except observation. I have many friends in this field. They only know enough to keep them employed... No enthusiasm...

How many Android Mods were designed by Indians? I bet the number is less than 5%...

I have seen the pics from Incredible S from various sites and to term those as mediocre os simply being ignorant or a non htc fanboism.

Incredible S seems to be a good choice.
Retailing for Rs 26,500/- @ Noida.


Any idea when do the prices gen come down ?
its been in the mkt for like abt 14 days i believe.
