@utkarsh, keep using your current mobile. don't waste money getting LG O1 now. save more & get something of HTC Desire's price after 5-6 months.

hey who's that 007? meet me, i'm 009. for that budget go for O1. it's way better than G3. actually there's no other choice below 15k. at 15k you have ace and at 18k you have defy. choice is yours.

^^ either optimus one or ace. but ace will have low battery problem for sure. when will Samsung understand its customers. all their mobiles have some kind of odd feature or hardware.

My cousin recently bought ace...its a nice phone....but then the battery prob still persists as it drains fast.

get Optimus One for <11.5k.

hey can u tell me what does Dell Streak Tablet Android Phone (AT&T) exactly mean?

means AT&T is confused. & so is Dell. now with Viewsonic & Acer launching their own 4.8" hybrids, the confuse list will just go longer & longer.

is Samsung releasing untested products? if they know that when using 3G or GPRS, Galaxy Pop won't last more than 3-5hrs, why should they release it? waiting for GSMArena's review.

Samsung is cheating its customers with such mobiles.

in the sub-15k arena what other (working) mobile launches do we have? not some 3.3" 240X320 resolution mobile. something having a proper mobile specs & usability. WildfireS? maybe.

IMO LG Optimus One is surely an upgrade over Samsung Galaxy 3. Personal experience :)
But I would suggest you to wait and increase your budget for HTC Wildfire S. I think it would be available for around 15k.

Never go for any LG. Go for Samsung Ace coz LG will give a big headache after some months of use.
Have 8 months experience of using LG

Which LG phone ???

The Optimus One is one of the best smartphones available in the market.

@utkarsh007

HTC Wildfire S is an upgrade over HTC Wildfire (which now sells for about 14k) so the Wildfire S should be priced about 15k.

:lol:

for how many months have you used LG Optimus One & Samsung Galaxy Ace? & how many reviews (from users) have you came across for both these mobiles?

Hey can i get htc at such a price?

yes. HTC Wildfire S = Wildfire + higher resolution, Android 2.2 & some minor changes.

Launch of Wildfire S would put some serious pressure on the Samsung galaxy series... provided its launches soon and priced in the same range. :)

@Sam
Wildfire + Higher Resolution + Gingerbread + 512 MB RAM + somewhat powerful processor - 16M colours= Wildfire S
