Hey Folks,

I own a Nokia N95 which will be almost 4 yrs old on this upcoming month i.e Aug'11.

Its almost dying now, battery is draining soon & some SW problems like crashing & lot more.

Now I need a Smart Phone with Touch Screen & availability of QWERTY pad is a added advantage.

Frankly i hardly used any Touch Screen Phones, but i'm not comfortable even them. [Friend's ipod, GF's Nokia 5233 & colleages Samsung Wave II].

My requirements are browsing internet through the phone, youtube, 3G, Multimedia & 8-10hr of battery backup.

I think E7 has my attention grabbed, but not sure whether its wise to get a Symbian at this time.

My budget is 20-30k & any OS is fine, but i'm not ready to get paid for silly applications.

Internal or External Memory must be decent & hardware must be goo denough to sustain a couple of years.

Now please suggest me a Smart phone with all these features.

O-T: TDF is no more accesible from my office, so suggest me soon.

am currently testing an X7. if you can wait a bit, this phone's price might come down to 17k-18k. if you want to try it out, PM me your number. am going to meet few other folks this weekend and you may get a chance to try LG Optimus black, N900 etc

^ yep, no probs. Yesterday i checked X7 in Nokia Priority Shop & the touch is responsive but the back panel doesn't feel good to me like some oval part. But a gr8 multimedia device for HD Videos & even gaming with Symbian Anna [PR2].

it's not exactly oval. the curve flats where the phone rests and it won't have the iPhone 3GS like wobble

I just voted for the E7 which I think is a good phone overall especially if you want a keypad
