i dunno abt what a "phone wid a difference" means... but in 12k for ur music player, camera, good display.. a "different looking" phone is nokia 5700. the other option is SE w810i.

oh ok!!! so ur requirement is a linux kinda phone... hmm.. u may try the touchscreen based moto ming a1200 or the moto rokr.. both are based on linux. so by diggin in a bit u may be able to customise it to ur needs! rokr mebbe a bit costlier than 12k.

i wd go 4 5700 if i wer u.. If u want a moto linux based fone the go wit the rokr e6.. But still i dont think u so 4 the e6 just for a compiler.. None of us has tried it so it might not even work.. Rather get the 5700 cos a compiler 4 os9 might be in the making

Thanks for replies...Many of them say.... 5700! Is there anything special apart from regular things like camera,mp3,....?

Wat type of application u have installed and using in that.... I dont need ordinary applications like Calculator, photo viewer, etc... Something beyond that...
I saw in some sites Download GPS Software for Symbian Phones.. Will those work??

5700 is another symbian based phone. nothing special about it from 'your' PoV. a linux based phone wud be best for ur requirements and experiments.

@Ganesh, get the HP iPAQ 512 Smartphone. It's compact as a normal bar shaped phone but has the New Windows 6.0, Integrated Wi-Fi!!!!! and a 1.3MP camera. It would cost you around 13.5K

The name is different, HP, it's got all you are looking on a phone and it's got Wi-Fi and it's different by the New Windows 6.0.

Now that is something totally different from other phones at that price!!

You are right help~is~here Hp ipaq 512 Voice messenger is the phone with difference at the moment, IT has wifi, internet calling and WM-6 edition, On www.gadget.in you can purchase this phone for 11,999 + 104 shipping charges.At this Price I bet You will not Get WM-6 edition phone anywhere in India. You can also try for samsung i600 its is hsdpa enabled, in Future hsdpa networks should be availiable in india.
