Hello guys i am planing to buy a new mobile phone.
My budget is around 13k.

I cant decide between the phones corby pro or spica.

I use the phone mainly for music, fb and twitter apps, games etc..

corby has a hardware keyboard so i think typing is fast.

i never tried spica , is this phone have a good touch screen or there are lot of misclicks and is the keyboard(onscreen) is good in spica?

Are there any better phones around this price tag?

Given your usage preference(Apps, games & social networking integration) Spica should be the winner.

Don't bother about the keyboard, infact you can type much faster on this, compared to a physical keyboard, once you get used to it

Spica with Android is better than Corby pro. Go for it.

Virtual qwerty can never match or even come close to a physical qwerty.
The one on spica lags a bit(only in landscape) in potrait its alright. Ironic as it may sound I am more comfortable and faster with potrait than landscape!

In no way it can be a dealbreaker. As an overall package, It beats any phone at that price.

Go a head and buy it! You ll love it.

I somehow can type much faster on a touch screen than on some qwerty keypads like the E72 and Corby pro.
iPod touch takes my speed typing to another level. try it once :)
