my new phone... :)

HTC Wildfire S (not the old wildfire). should be launched by this month's end. or Ace (with a lot od small problems).

BTW ever thought of considering Nokia C7?

symbian s slow na..

wildfire s..??? dude wats d cost..???

Samsung Galaxy Ace is a very good option for you. Also, Symbian ^3 is not that slow ok.

some phone which does not have a qvga video recordin.. pls..

Wildfire S is expected to launch in a month and will be priced approx 15K and if u can wait till then it would be the best for u.

@pravi, for the kind of pricetag wildfire looks like a bad buy inverting of ace but overall it'll be better buy. Cause ace excels in 1 area & flops in next. But wildfire s should be a steady walk towards success. But it'll become clear once out gets launched here.

I don't think HTC Wildfire S is worth waiting. Read this review especially the 3rd page HTC Wildfire S Review - Phone Arena

battery life & Sense UI is a bit too heavy for the 600Mhz proccy but overall its better than competitor. also about the shutdown issues, it'll be resolved before HTC releases it here.

thanks guys...

hey guys wat abt moto defy..????

I am too suffering the same confusion and my budget is 10k.

The two options i am confused between are:-

1) LG OPTIMUS1 P500 @ 9.5k

2) DELL XCD35 @ 10.5k

XCD35 isn't VFM. what you basically get is a bigger screen & a bit higher resolution. but a slow processor, 256Mb ram, Android 2.1, a low rating battery. these can't be replaced & so best to go with O1 for now.

PS: i remember reading optimus one's review @ GSMArena where they stated that O1 is late to party. but till now no other mobile have been able to replace O1 as most VFM Android @ 10k.

^XCD35 has Android 2.2 according to Dell's official website. But it has only 256MB RAM as you said.

Dell XCD35 | Dell India

GSMArena shows the OS to be 2.1 & dell as 2.2. maybe they are releasing updated XCD35 but Google revealed no info.

Some members on TE have received 2.2 when they bought XCD 35. Also you can get your XCD 35 updated to 2.2 at any Dell Service Center for free now.

All new units ship with 2.2.

so no OTA update. this will hurt Dell more than its users, having to update it rather than leaving it to the user to do the hard work.

Wave II for high end hardware(other than ram which hurts a lot for power users)
O1 P500 for value for money.
Samsung Ace for Android @15K budget. Got poor battery, but hopefully gingerbread update will help in that segment.

I dont think Dell XCD35 is manufactured by dell, its just marketed under its branding. I would stay away from such stuff. Only Streak, Venue and Venue pro are truely by Dell AFAIK...

Dell XCD35/28 & Motorola XT* series are made by ZTE & a 2nd manufacturer.

For 15k

Wilfire S or Galaxy Ace !

Remember one thing. When it comes to midrange and low end phones, never try to be the first to get it. Wait for the reviews from consumers (not review sites) and then decide.

And never ever buy a droid that has 12xx mAh battery juice. NEVER NEVER EVER.

+1

The phone has a 1GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 205 GPU and only 1200 mAh battery... total flop... And I don't believe this phone will retail for less than 18k-20k range... Its a Sony...

I don't like the 3" screen either...

+1 from my side. this is one mistake most peoples do. go for a mobile as soon as its launched & when they face software problem or H/W problem, start complain about them being cheated.

sure guys i aint gonna buy it as soon as its launched... yes it s 18k... ll wait fr reviews...

Motorola Defy.

Buy it from Letsbuy.com, use coupon code (ask if you want), and get it under 15k.
