^But its resistive, which is not too user-friendly to use.

There are two types of touch-screens - Resistive and Capacitive.
Resistive is inferior to Capacitive ones.
Most Capacitive touch-screens respond to the slightest touch you make.
However for Resistive touch-screens you need to apply more amount of pressure on the screen.
For more info, use google ;)

^^^ battery backup of 525 is decent.

Let me make it simple for you - if you want both 3G and Wifi, go for Monte; if just WiFi, go for Wave 525…

PS - I think opera mini doesnt work on Wave 525 (or Bada), let any owner confirm this :)

opera mini works on bada, it has full qwerty keypad both in landscape and portrait mode. other java softwares also work like ngpay but you have to use virtual keypad for them (with all buttons 0-9 in two rows)

you, know if you can increase budget by 1k-1.5k, you can get LG Optimus One which is considered as the best droid inside 15k and is worth every penny. (only -ve being that it lacks LED flash)

^Remember its Optimus "One" and not only Optimus.
Optimus and Optimus One are two different phones.

dessibond is referring to Optimus One.

monte is really a good phone...if u could further increase ur budget then go for samsung galaxy fit,it will cost u 2k more than monte and it is worth it...
So i suggest u to make a decision among them only

^Samsung Fit has poor resolution for its screen size, which will ruin the whole experience really.
So it should either be Monte or Optimus one.
