Dear friends,

My friend wants a good camera touchscreen phone for around 12k..

I suggested him LG O1 but it have only 3mp cam soo rejected..

Galaxy fit have 5mp cam but donno its performance

Nikon C6-01 have 8 mp cam ...but then again its bit costly 14k

No preference for OS.

If camera is top priority and OS is not, then C6-01 is clear choice. also check the older Nokia C6. OS is really boring (S60) and build is okay but camera is great.

Within 12k C5-03 comes to my mind, since you've mentioned no preference for OS!! C6 has a better camera than C5-03 though!!

C6 is avl for 13k at flipkart. so definitely avl cheaper locally.
C6-01 is avl for 13.5k & so maybe avl locally at 13k. 1k over budget but camera is 8Mp.

8MP camera
720p video recording
One of the best display available

If all these are for additional 2k, I guess it's a fair deal :)

Otherwise take a look at Samsung Wave 723, good 5MP shooter with crappy video recording and below average screen.

If camera and screen is good then he would even take wave...he dont install software neither play games or video.

Why doesn't he buy a dedicated camera and some average phone instead of spending 12k on a cell? that would be more vfm IMO.
