You get wifi, 3g, capacitive touch, 2meg camera and android 2.1 for 8.5k
Samsung I5500 Galaxy 5 - Full phone specifications

Ps:nokia's symbian is teh suck. I have 5233 and will be shifting to galaxy3apollo

3g is the only plus point. Camera sucks, can't turn off camera sounds. The phone is slow and takes more than 1sec to open the messaging options. Can only play mpeg4 video in hd. It is a total waste of money with a bad resistive touchscreen.
The samsung galaxy5is the best value for money option. Also galaxy has 600mhz cpu and 5230 has a 435mhz cpu. Symbian os is outdated and slow. Android is fast and looks better in all aspects.

Can you extend your budget for x6???
If yes, then i suggest you go for galaxy 3 rather than x6...

Galaxy 3 hs 3.2" screen wid 240x400 whereas X6 has d same size screen but wid 360x640 resolution.
I think if u aint finicky abt OS(Android or Symbian) then X6 wud b better.Galaxy 3 scores only in Bluetooth 3 otherwise it has crappy cam,screen resolution,no 2ndary cam....many more!

Don't even think of X6. When you can get C6-01 (which is much much much better phone overall) for same price, why bother about X6?

Re: Mobile suggessions?

The main reason is: symbian^1 is gonna be history in next one or two months cuz nokia itself is shifing to symbian^3. Thus nokia itself thinks that ^1 is not worth the competition.

X6 is a nice multimedia phone, but its has upperhand only in multimedia department.

* Both are touchscreen phones so the main criteria wud be touch response of the phone. And G3 excels X6 in this, though both hav capacitive touch.
* G3 has android eclairs and soon will be recieving froyo, where x6 has same old symbian^1. Symbian ^1 is not fully touch optimized OS, imagine double tapping an item to further access it.
* G3 has faster CPU and it respond to touch faster as compared to x6.
* G3 hav divx/xvid support and has a very capable video player. X6 is limited to mp4 and 3gp.
* G3 has same connectivity options as X6 has. But G3 has wifi n support which is futuristic feature for faster access.
* G3 hav a great deal of 3rd party apps. Almost every app you can think is in android market from simple music and video players, to some out of league apps which shows lyrics with the songs you are playing and downloading album arts of song.
* G3 browser is far better than the one on X6.
* G3 has multitouch support.
* G3 is cheaper than x6:-D

X6 has upper hand in camera(with flash) but G3 also has a good 3MP(no flash) camera which will suffice to you as you asked for 2MP camera while starting this thread(i think:)).
And about low pixels, it troubles only while viewing small text(which can be zoomed).

PS: I didnt mentioned bluetooth 3 above as G3 or more specifically indian version G3 Apollo dont hav bluetooth 3.

Also please take a look at LG Optimus One(android froyo, good resolution, to be price 13k:) but will be released in few days:-() and C6-01(nokia,symbian^3,faster proccy 8MP camera:) but high price:-()

well i thought these dell phones would be nice but they are only a disappointment. Lets just hope more new android phones get launched which are in our budget.
