First of all NO NOKIA...

I want a good looking STYLISH phone for surfing and casual music and entertainment

I am thinking between SE X1 and HTC touch pro..

Please suggest which one to choose ... more inputs will be appreciated too

Thank You :D

SE x1 seems still costly...

If u really want a win mobile get at least something which have win mob 6.5

if u really want qwerty keypad get n97 which is newer

X1 is around 26k now. The satio comes for around 30k and the Aino for 24k. You can check them out.Great for multimedia.

how about Samsung Omnia II HD or Samsung Jet.

also check SE Aino. This one is now available for 25k now and looks like it's one hell of a phone.

Get samsung omnia hd. Its a multimedia monster. No windows phone can come close in entertainment , Period.

I think HTC touch HD comes in your range , try it if you dont wanna go for samsung.

I agree Omnia HD is the best(except for its big size)
heard that SE x1 has poor qwerty but its good at multimedia

If you can afford the Omnia HD, i am sure you can spend a couple thousand more and get the satio. Brilliant cam with xenon, better software support, better UI and comes bundles with 5 nhd games and 95 more for download. And its an SE. J2me applications which dont run on the i8910 run like a charm here.

hey dreamcatcher whats the price of satio in market....does it really sell for 30k

Yea,satio is 30k according to univercell. Still not available here though.With Aino, you can get a basic pack without the bluetooth headset and the charging port(it also acts as a wifi unit for seamless transfer of data from your phone to pc) for around 21k or 20k. The accessories provioded, if bought seperately, will set you back by almost 7k .:D

There is no Omnia II HD. Its just Omnia II/i8000. GT-i8910HD is the only model with HD features. Samsung W880 would be next with 12MP Xenon+LED and 30fps HD recording.

@topic,
Satio's MRP is ~32K. It'll be available for ~29K when launched. Samsung Omnia II & HTC Pro2 should be in your lookout list. HTC HD2 is also scheduled for launch. And that is one helluva mobile!

@yogi- Check out the retail unit and its battery. Still a prototype man, aint you?? Its a 1000mah Li-PO battery and user reports state that it rums 2-3 days on average use.
