hello Guys...!!!!

I'm Confused b/w Motorola Fire xt & HTC Salsa.....
My Budget is 13k..

Both specs..are almost same....
But i found some differences...
At Gsmarena.com

HTC Salsa:-
TFT capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors
Gorilla Glass display

Motorola Fire xt:-
TFT capacitive touchscreen, colors not mentioned...
Display also not mentioned

Except above all specs b/w both is same.

But HTC is of 15K.....i can't increase my budget....and Motorola is of 13k..
I'm goin to buy this on diwali.....
any chance of discount so that i can get HTC salsa of rs15k....otherwise i will buy
motrola..... :)

Extend your budget slightly and buy a Moto Defy.Available at ebay for 14k.And i think you can bring the price down using the coupon AMEXEBAY02 that is valid for all deals of the week products.(I'm not sure whether the coupon will work or not)

You can use coupons to decrease the price(on letsbuy).
The options which u have in that budget are:
Moto Defy
HTC Desire
HTC Salsa
HTC Wildfire

Don't have any idea about moto fire xt

Defy is better than wildfire s...

On eBay.in, I had seen Motorola defy for 13.5k. Also, there are many 5% coupons and Dussera coupons floating around which will bring down your costs below 13k or give you some freebies...

Wildfire S is not a good option when compared to Motorola Defy...

Cheers!

u can buy moto defy from ebay for around 13-13.5k(rates vary every day),everywhere else u will find it lil expensive
and HTC salsa from letsbuy for 14k but i think u mentioned ur budget was 13k and u can't increase it so it is our of ur budget and that is why I suggested u wildfire S
