[Urgent] Back Again with iPhone Query

I have narrowed to following possibility a the moment
35k iphone 4s 16gb (1yr dealer warranty)
40k iphone 4s 16gb(1yr apple india warranty)
40k iphone 4s 32gb(15 days dealer warranty)

is it wise to go with dealer warranty??????coz i'm thinking of 32gb version...the seller is reputed on ebay n have sold many iPhones(say above 100 i guess).....
i have to decide by tomorrow.....

pls help..

NEVER go for a phone with Dealer Warranty.
Also, I Guess its offtopic but I suggest you should stay away from the iPhone 4S.
I just bought the Sony Xperia P(23K) and I compared it with my friend's iPhone 4S. Although I didnt tell him this, but Xperia P blows the iPhone away.
I recommend you to go for the HTC ONE X if you have that kind of money(36K WITH 1 Year manufacturer warranty)
Believe me the iPhone 4S is only for people who want to make a style statement. Not those who want a good phone. And the iPhone WOULD probably be a good deal IF you could get one WITH manufacturer (ie Apple) warranty for 27K. 40K is WAY too overpriced.

Wait for next iPhone 5, it will put Samsung Galaxy S III to shame Read
There are many innovative features are going to come in iPhone 5. Also new 4" screen now.

iphone 5 was my aim but saw iphone4s 32gb version @40k changed my mind.....and we always got to wait for iPhone release in india for at least 6-8 months from US release now adding that to if its october release it will take atleast 1-1.2 yr to come to india n that too 16b will be way high than 16gb 4s coz it will have LTE....

i think xperia P is way to go if one can't get iPhone.....actually i don't like android phones much...(xperia P,S being only exception) but sony is releasing its next flagship phones arcos n all in next 2-3 months so i guess xperia p,s will get outdated soon....(i meant no software updates...i kno XS will get jelly bean but no 1 knows what happens next in android....)

As sony denied ice-cream for xperia play......

For android phone sony doesn't sale much worldwide also they deny or comes late with android updates. I had XperiaX10 and hesitated for late update. Better to take a look on HTC One X 32GB model, it will cost you 32k in buytheprice.com (Coupon Code: ICICI)

Screen quality, music and camera are much like iphone 4S.

The Xperia S WILL get JB, it has the same chipset as the ion and GX! So if these ones will get JB so will S, cant say about P though!

Don't know when will they update new xperia's with ICS, JB is much far away.

Xperia P is nice VFM phone, but has a very poor battery life 1305MAh that is disappointing thing according to critics and reviews. There is not a single dual core phone in the market that comes with that much little battery.

HTC One X is an awesome phone, having the best graphics in a mobile device, uni-body metallic design, comes with in-built ICS, IPS LCD2 is outstanding, music qulity and camera are much like iphone 4S.

i had that option of htc long back wen it was released but i did not like it much....i have it for a week(my cousin's)......

i'm sticking to my options listed they r listed after a long thought and analysis just could not decide b/w my 2nd and 3rd option....pls help me!!!

40k iphone 4s 16gb (1yr apple india warranty) is highly recommended because of apple warranty. If you are spending that much better to buy with certified warranty.
FYI now apple device don't take much time to come apple ipad3 comes in a month or so. I think iphone 5 will definitely come in next month of US release.
BTW What things you hate about One X?

that wat i was thinking wat if sum prob arises....so getting confused ( one of my frnd owns iPhone 4s w/o warranty n working f9 for almost a yr now...)
As far one x is concerned i don't like music on earphone,camera pic quality even apps get crashed many times......wat i like was big screen thats it.... tablets r gud for videos n gaming....

15 days warranty for a 40k phone ??? Are you kidding??

If i was you i would have never gone for it

Go with manufacturers warranty only!

Dealer warranty=no warranty,but I do not really care about official warranty.

Completely off topic,and I bet you have not used 4s :wink:

as you ae comparing it with an Android,that too xperia P.
@o.p,go ahead with the dealer warranty.40K is way too much for a 16Gig 4s.
Just don`t brick it while jailbreaking.
I know atleast 10-15 people @ office,who are using 4s bought from US and European countries and they are working flawless(even mine is also doing great)

If someone's iphone works fine for a year, it doesn't mean all will work fine.

i never got to use the warranty of any electronic product that i ever bought....
as far iPhone is concerned i too know arnd 10 ppl who bought frm ebay w/o warranty n have no prob...
just still in dilemma 16gb/32gb...coz 32gb is a steal @ that price.....

Apple iPhone 4s White (64GB)( Factory Unlocked ) | eBay

how is this? ? though i see it fishy.....

Let me correct you there.

1. Sony is the second largest Android vendor after Samsung.
SOURCE

HTC and Huawei are tied third.

2. Since you mentioned X10, yes it was a mistake but in the year 2010. Also X10 was the only phone that got upgraded from Android 1.6 to Android 2.3.

3. ALL 2011 models received ICS updates. Sony was the only brand to upgrade its entire portfolio to ICS whereas other vendors like HTC and Samsung decided to upgrade only their high end phones. Only the Play was decided not be upgraded to ICS as ICS has incompatibility issues with most games and play is a gaming device first and a smartphone next.

But now Sony has decided to release ICS after all for those play owners that wanna take the risk. The ICS firmware for Play was certified last week. Not to mention ICS alpha for play was available since long already from Sony !

So contrary to your opinion, Sony is the only manufacturer that can be trusted on delivering the latest Android updates. Other vendors don't give a damn about their mid range and entry level droids. And Sony upgraded even a 13k LWW to ICS.

So next time don't post stuff that is completely different from REALITY.

And about the 2012 ICS upgrade schedule. Xperia S update has started, P will be getting it in the next week or so, Sola and U are expected to get the update by end of July.

@op,just make sure the 4s you buy is a FU piece.
Buying with Indian warranty only makes sense if you plan to sell it off within a year.
After one year a 32GB(non indian) will give you much better resale value than an official Indian one with 16gigs of storage.

After one year a 32GB(non indian) will give you much better resale value than an official Indian one with 16gigs of storage.

Thats true

Just love your post

.....same opinion here

Gone with 32gb version hoping its not a deal breaker.........thnx guys....

Congrats!you will love it!!
BTW black or white?

getting all updates and getting super late android updates are two diff things, Sony ruin all the fun of updates. X10 got 2.1 update after such a long time of about an year, xperia s ICS is still not available in india almost june is coming to end, where almost every brand in this price range providing with in-built ICS. But these things are nothing for a hardcore sony fanboy. :-D

If we talk about indian market top mobile selling brands are nokia, micromax, samsung and LG.

Your post makes you sound like a Sony hater :-D

which you ARE

Super late updates huh ? 2011 range received ICS beta/alpha before any other manufacturer and the 2011 range was updated to ICS before/same time as Samsung and HTC high end.

Clearly you are here to troll and nothing else.

And LMAO @ the last line

Sony is also the second largest Android vendor in India and in some price segments(10-20k) it is the largest selling vendor even ahead of Samsung. 50% market share in the 15-20k price bracket.

Clearly you are here to troll and nothing else.

@coolest111

Congrats. black looks better IMO

saying truth is totally a trolling for a fanboy, ask anyone who respect sony as it is good for providing fast updates,only providing ics update in neov and arc doesnt make overall good.. i believe in vfm products where sony generally don't stand.. i bought x10 for 30k where no phone was having 4.3" screen and 8 MP. I know you are hasitating inside with no ICS update in your xperia s, by calling me troll.

ask anyone in laptop threads, that i even trolled ever.. you are the only one who is calling me. Everyone respect my suggestion there.

^
Dude I already have ICS on my Xperia S since a week ! I even posted ICS screenshots in my Xperia S review thread.

In fact I would say YOU go and ask Sony phone owners whether or not they are satisfied with the updates and also ask anyone which brand they trust to deliver the latest Android updates and then post.

And I didn't say you are a Troll but in this thread you are certainly trolling. And you did the same in some other threads as well, and you know it too.

Why don't you do this. Create a thread and ask the members of the site which Android vendor they would trust most on getting the latest Android updates. You will get all your answers in that thread whether Sony is the vendor with super slow and NO updates or the only vendor that can be trusted on getting the latest Android updates.

Since you are a hater you obviously don't know anything much at all about anything to do with Sony but still you post something stupid and unfounded in any thread that you see a chance to bash and degrade the brand.

Do you even know that Sony is the biggest contributor to the Android open source project ? No other vendor has as much contribution to the Android code than Sony.

All the 2011 range was first updated to ICS 4.0.3 and now has been updated to 4.0.4 whereas Samsung and HTC has updated even their high end devices only to 4.0.3.

And you talk about VFM ? Which other vendor offers more VFM ? In the sub 15k category you have phones like LWW, Xperia Mini etc with 1 ghz CPU and 512 mb RAM and Android 4.0.4. The upcoming Tipo at 8k offers ICS 4.0.4, 800 mhz CPU and 4GB internal memory. So how is Sony not offering VFM products ?

When all other vendors like HTC provide 600 mhz CPU in a 13k Desire C, Sony last year introduced Xperia Mini and LWW with 1 ghz CPU and Adreno 205GPU.

So next time please keep aside your hatred and think logically before posting anything.

saying something little wrong is not a part of trolling, trolling is when some user making fun and doing something which harm for a person or a group of persons.
I didnt read that news, good to see sony is expending market in india but last year sale figures were below 6%.

^
Not something lil wrong. Your entire post was wrong starting from the sales assumption to Sony not providing updates and DENYING updates and what not.

And clearly I don't think you were talking about previous year sales as we are talking about Sony here not Sony Ericsson.

Sony Ericsson sales were poor yes ! Everybody knows that.

Anyway, at least from my side I end this argument here.

Sorry coolest101 for spoiling your thread.

sony and sony ericsson are same everybody know.. and i was saying their android phones doesnt sell much according to last year implies to be true. Models like tipo are bright future for the company and i will really suggest who has having that budget. if am a sony so why i had sony phones, audio system speakers and a small tv of it..?? and why i suggest vaio laptops to peple who are not in gaming and want a laptop with good screen.

and getting one.x.. a quad core phone for 32k is more vfm than xperia s ask anyone.

@randomuser111

nop....my purpose was already served.....

congrats! coolest111 how much your phone costs.

and i m sorry to on behalf of randomuser111 he cant listen anything against sony, starts debate all the time

it costed a lot....39.5k but then i'm happy....coz i don't like android yet....

can't wait to get my hands on it....

Why on earth you guys are fighting over sony vs htc android in a 4s thread?
There are enough android threads to discuss about these garbage phones.

Not really,if your doubles up as pmp.
HOX has pathetic sound quality,try both with a decent iem(not those twinwoofers or Beats/Bose cr@p)and see it for yourself!

Personally, I am an iphone 4 user, i think iphones are much simpler than android devices.

waiting for the new iphone, excited for new bigger screen.
for android i think htc is much better than samsung and sony toys.. at lest they know what is premium build quality.

@ rider me too but again as it take long time for iPhone to reach india i had to go wid 4s...

n i don't think iPhone 5 will be anything less than 50k for 16gb if dollar rate continue to rise...

ur iphone 4s is cool, how do u like its camera?

Camera...i'm lovin it....esp wid camera+ app...it rocks

haters gonna hate.. but iphone has the fastest camera its better than any android phone.

Buy the Filmic pro also,it allows to record in 720p,you can also increase the frame rate.
If you are jailbroken try NCSettings,better-looking than SB and free too!

Can you tell me what all can jailbroken iOS do that Android can't ?

Garage Band?
Actually Android can do pretty much everything iphone can plus a lot more!
But the way it does it,can drive you nuts!
I could not find a good alternative for Airplay in Android and a good itunes remote control.

everythin is very fluidy..........
