within these brands.. nokia is the most trusted.. so i would recommend nokia, about Lava, I have one of my friend working in that company, if you have time, i can ask him and let you know..

I do not like spice, I went to their shop, and checked Mi410 as many said it has nice specs, and what i saw, its a piece of ****. it has a capacitive touch screen, but literally u need to press it, was hanging in every app. even a sandisk 8 gb microsd costs almost double of its price..

So i guess it leads you to nokia again

yes you are right. And that is the reason I am confused. I too trust nokia. People are saying that this c2 is not so good. That's why. ELse I would have choosen nokia eyes closed.
Okay, you can ask your friend.
Thanks :)

Yaa, then tell me wat to do, which one to go. No Spice no Nokia. I have Samsung Hero. For me its useless. Only 500 sms capacity. :( :(

I think we have much better options in High End phones.

yes, and you need one within 4k right?

That Spice actually got some good reviews. But after lll_aritra_lll mentioned about his experience, I have doubt in that too. Better I go for SIMOCO. I will have a HiFi at my hand. Ha ha :p

yes, and you need one within 4k right?

actually 3K+

OK... Today I visited mobile vendors. Vendors are praising Nokia C2 and its extended warranty scheme. I asked them for for a test drive :p Bad touch. Even on the main menu, I was not able to scroll down. I have to press the screen tight.

Then I looked the spice. It is available in white only. Though I dont like white, every other thing are working fine. U can say too good. Don't know how long it will last. But its better than C2.

Nokia X2 buttons are tight and its a little big than normal QWERTY phones.

yes.. but still my friends are satisfied with it.. and since it is little big, it is easy to type..
dont go for company name if you like it.. I am using a motorola handset.. where everyone I know seems to see a ghost when they heard i bought a brand new motorola handset.. but to me its a gem. so, if you like the spice one.. go for it

go for NOKIA, because micromax, lava, spice has very bad touch screen, i've used all of these, and pathetic touch response. these phones looks great but after few months they start loosing their colors.

Nokia: Go for looks, ovi backup, easy to use, easy to use EDGE +GPRS on cell+pc
Indo-China phones: Go for dual sim, battery backup, dont expect for any automatic backup of contacts+sms

Because I have no idea about lava. Look wish lava have a classy look.

SE no way.

Anyway, I have choosen Flipkart.com: LG S365: Mobile
Battery last for 2-3 days, there is PC sync, keys are soft unlike LG B2050 I used 6 yrs before with very hard keys, Sound quality is very good through phone speakers(+ve point, it does not seem like playing on a phone, it seems playing a medium sized radio), though headphone need improvement, camera is good. (headphone and camera are not my concern since I use my sansa and digicam for photos).

Thank you all for your help. I choosed this phone because one of my cousin was using the non WiFi version.

Good choice.

What does everyone have against SE though :!:?? Atleast use the phone before making an opinion. One of my friends sold his c2-03 and bought the cedar because c2-03 is frankly unusable.

I don't know about cedar but sony have bad camera comapred to nokia, battery doesnot last long, keypad problem occurs and most of my friend's phones are dead after a year of use. And most importantly WORST service.

I like SE phones because of their build quality and looks. But when some fault occurs you have to register yourself at a Service Center with Rs 500 for phone after warranty ends. Then they will keep the product for a week. But don't expect the product will be okay at their hands. Sometimes scratches, sometimes screws are missing. And you will find that your problem still exists.

I have personal experiences.
