Hi guys,
One of my friend wants to buy a touchscreen mobile. The budget is 10k
The priorities are Touch Screen, An average Camera, Good Audio, Bluetooth and similar features. Colour should be black and the set should be slim. We were looking at the LG Cookie model and wish to hear your inputs on the same. Heard there is a Samsung Star model too?
Can you suggest me the phone to go for and if there is any other better model. And as said the budget is 10k.
LG Cookie's UI looks good in ads but in reality it's not that good. same is the case with Samsung Star. Increase budget and get 5800XM for 13.5k.
Inside 10k, it's better to leave touch aside.

Like Nokia 5320 XM or SE W580i.
Try the Samsung Star 3G for 10.5k. Awesome Phone for its price and looks cute too !!
yup if touch screen only then go for samsung star
i but i personally dont recommend touch screen fones
How about the new Samsung Corby?
^ corby is lower end touch screen ... lacks a few essentials like the qwerty keypad (on screen) etc etc ... If I were you, this would be my priority, budget being the deciding factor.
1 5800
2 star wifi
3 cookie/star ( i would go for star anyday)
4 corby
Corby is specifically design for Social networking lovers. It offers very less for others. And Star is a better package when compared to Corby and Nokia 5800XM is lot lot better package.
Offcourse I agree Nokia 5800 & Star 3G were superior but Corby isn't that bad especially it is cheaper.
^^ am not saying that it's bad. It's just that it is targeted at specific audience. With no 3G, no accelerometer, very basic 2 mp camera.
Also note that both these phones won't come with 3.5mm jack and you either need to buy adaptor or stick to crappy bundled earphones.
Even a Nokia N73M for 11k change is lot lot better option, isn't it?
hmmmm a Chinese iPhone???
@ desibond ... i do understand that corby is more for socail networking and stuff , but with the kind of data plans and speeds that you get in india, if u seriously need to use ur fone for social networking, wifi would be a very big plus ...
samsung star wifi
or nokia 5800
or mayb nokia 5530
I haven't seen any Univercell outlet here in Mumbai. At Nokia priority the price of Nokia 5800XM is Rs.14.8K. You can get it at a good rate at Alfa, Vile Parle.
Please please don't go for rokr E6. worst phone for typing messages. The tiny qwerty, lack of third party apps, lack of 3G/wi-fi are big NO-NO. samsung star and LG cookie are much better.
I beg to differ slightly DESIIBOND,lack of 3G/wi-fi ,the tiny qwerty absolutely true,but loads of 3rd party apps are available,n it was one of the most stable phone at its time,
if you like linux it is still THE PHONE,shame that motorola has stopped producing good EZX phones.BTW nokia 5800 is probably the best choice.DO NOT BUY SAMSUNG OR LG GSM PHONES.
^^ I have been using this phone for almost 2 yrs. It was a good product at that time but now, it doesn't stand a chance against competition.
Hey, why dont you try samsung star series, I am using star 3g bought at 11,300.
Also Samsung star is at 9200 Rs. & star wifi is at 10,400 Rs.
But trust me star 3g is great, and have more than you can expect. Camera is very good
& touch flow is very nice. you'll love it.
The only drawback is it does not allow to install third party java software , but you can crack it easily. I do the same.
So its best.
^Crack? Please explain.
How to install java apps? It will be helpful to other members.
Hey Cool G5,
Here I have written step by step method to unlock star 3g. Hope it will help other member too.
i have an 5800xm and i think it has great connectivity options and good multimedia capabilities.
