Which smartphone to choose? HTC, Nokia… or BlackBerry!

The Best Smartphones in India under Rs. 15000

I was asked this question by a friend, “Dude, please help me, suggest me which brand to trust while purchasing a smartphone?” at that point of time i had little idea about these brands’ smartphones but after a little research i suggested him the right brand.

And now i want to share it on the web with my friends from IndiBlogger, Google and rest of the world.

A cheap smartphone should be appropriate for you if you just want it for show off. The most compatible brand for those genre of people would be a Nokia or a BlackBerry because HTC design’s are not very trendy.

Samsung phones can also be given a look in this smartphone series. Have a look.

Nokia E71

nokia-e71-great-smartphone

Hmm… Nokia is definitely not what i would spend money on because of past experiences but if you have had a nice time candy bar Nokia phones then it is an indication that Nokia smartphones will match your preferences.

Features de Nokia E71

  1. Great metallic and steady look
  2. 3G, Bluetooth 2.1 and Wi-Fi connectivity for fast data transfer
  3. Symbian OS 9.2 with Ovi integration
  4. Microsoft Office 7 Support via free upgrade from Ovi Store
  5. 3.15MP Camera with Flash
  6. Push eMail, great for social networking
  7. DivX video support via application

Price ~ Rs.  12,500

The next option is from BlackBerry and it is the best phone i have seen under Rs. 15,000. Everyone knows very clearly why BlackBerry smartphones are preferred over anything else.

Yeah! the great processor and that lovely trackball, i love it hmm… so BlackBerry Curve 8520 smartphone is the gadget which i suggest my friend and since then he is a big fan of BB.3

Do you know HTC has also invented a 10 MP smartphone called HTC Merge, NO? read here…

BlackBerry Curve 8520

blackberry-curve-8520-smartphone

It is a cheap alternative to other smartphone under the same brand name, it comes with great business looks and works well with teenage people because of fast processor.

User can easily get addicted to it’s very well spaced QWERTY keyboard and thus eMail etc. would be terrific. Great for blogging i must say since BlackBerry App store makes you download WordPress application onto the device.

Features de BlackBerry Curve 8520

  1. Wi-Fi connectivity for fast internet access
  2. 512MHz CPU for faster process rendering
  3. Nice Web browser
  4. Great support for documents and PDF files
  5. DivX and Xvid support

Price ~ Rs. 13,000

The last one in the list is from HTC which is definitely there because of Android operating system which has literally revolutionized smartphone market in India.

It is a high class smartphone under rs. 15,000 in India.

Who can forget samsung galaxy s the future beyond mobile phone, have a look here.

HTC Wildfire

htc-wildfire-smartphone

The best thing about the device is it’s very cool Super cool capacitive touchscreen (do you want to know how a capacitive touchscreen is different from a resistive one? Please click) that makes it a fast processing business phone and it costs really low as compared to HTC Desire.

It can be used for fun, office, casual and for college purposes as well, in short it is a lean mean fighting machine.

Features de HTC Wildfire

  1. Android OS  2.1 (Eclair)
  2. 3G with Wi-Fi as well for internet
  3. 5MP camera with LED flash
  4. up to 32GB expandable memory | 2GB included in the sales package
  5. HTC Sense UI and trackball for movement along with touchscreen

Price ~ 15,000

So this was my list for the best smartphone under Rs. 15,000 in India, if you have any other options do let me know. thank you for reading, please have a look at our other work.

What do you think BlackBerry Curve 8520 or HTC Wildfire, which one is the most featured as well economical handset?

    Hi Rakesh,

    I want to buy a smartphones under 15000 Rupees. I have seen HTC Wildfire and was really impressed. But on a little research i found that it has a poor display. Can you please help me out with pros and cons of HTC Wildfire. And which other options can i look out for?

    • HTC Wildfire is good and yes the display is a little dull.

      There are some options …

      Motorola Quench XT3

      Other than that, Samsung Galaxy 3 is also good, i didn’t like the design and metallic finish but other wise the whole thing is great.

      Any more queries or questions?

      • shrey khandelwal says:

        I checked Motorola Quench.. I think its 3000 Cheaper than HTC wildfire … performance wise which one is better ??

        • Dunno about the motorola quench performance, i have used htc wildfire first hand and it is good just the processor is a bit slow when compared htc desire hd but then the price point comes in.

          well, motorola quench should be good, don’t you have any store nearby which has it on display, i will try to check it here at my place.

          • shrey khandelwal says:

            I have Chroma .. but they dont have quench on display. They do have wildfile. Desire is out of budget . Please check quench if u can. Thanks

          • shrey khandelwal says:

            Rakesh,

            I was planning to get HTC Desire form USA. can i face any problem over here.. i checked with the vendor.. its a unlocked version with international warranty.. will all mobile operators be supported or there can be any problem?

    • U should really check out ericsson xperia x10i mini pro . Its a gr8 set in the price range

  6. chandan sharma says:

    wat abt nokia x6?

  7. deepak sharma says:

    how is nokia x6?
    Is there is any option at that price range?

  8. @ Shrey

    Okay I will try for quench, even if i get hold of a youtube video, i will let you know if it is worth it.

    In the meantime, check out the Samsung Galaxy 3 if you like its metallic finish.

  9. Hey…… I want a gud android phone costing below 15,000….. U think u cn help me out? Btw is da wildfire worth buying?

  10. Hey Rakesh can you suggest me some good smart phone within 20k? Some of my options are : moto milestone, lg p500, htc hd mini , htc wildfire.. Pls help as i m confused with lots of reviews abt everythng!

  11. Wildfire Beats all if u want a smart phone below 15k … Nokia X6 — too bulky ,, lags too much , ancient OS
    Xperia x10 mini- Less andriod features , bluetooth transfer prob

    the only prob with wildfire is the resolution … which is not at all a problem …. Plus Its upgradable to Andriod 2.2 (froyo) in India now !!!

    HTC wildfire is way better than any other smart phone in this range

    and please dont go for new nokia phones like c6-01, c7, n8 … may be popular … but not at all good compared to their cost !

    • i like htc wildfire but it has a pretty slow processor, there is one more smartphone under rs. 15000 motorola quench xt3, although it is operating currently on android os 2.1 it will soon get an upgrade..

    • Hi even im looking for good handset within the range of 15k. wat do u think of nokia c6?? i fell in love wit c6 the moment i saw it but i heard dat it has some serious software issues.. i want a mobile dat looks just lyk c6.. vich wud u suggest??

      • Hi Selena,

        I would say, don’t buy C6, it runs on Symbian which is outdated. I have two options for you… Samsung Galaxy Ace, it is a brilliant device, i think you will fall in love with that as well unless you like a QWERTY keyboard and if you really want a QWERTY keyboard then for that Sony Xperia X10 Mini Pro would do fine.

  12. Hi Rakesh
    I am interesting in buying smartphone with a touch screen with querty keypad and slide,similarly to nokia c6. however i have heard there are few problems with it .. any idea whether those issues have been fixed?? any other suggestion??

  13. hey hi,
    till yestrday was totally convinced to buy wildfire, but now this display problm is buging me.
    either tell me an alternate other than xt5
    or
    tell me sm really good advantages in wildfire
    PLZZZZ

    • wildfire is a little old you see it has a few problems but i don’t there is any other phone in this range that has touchscreen and android. xt5, se xperia mini pro and wildfire.

  14. suggest me a smartphone in the range of 25k..which has a gud camera and video quality..is htc evo is launched in india

    • see if you want something really good in all respect, motorola milestone is very good. i know it is an old smartphone but it works magic today as well.

      other than that for business and document purposes there are two options 1) nokia n8 and 2) sony xperia x10

  15. hey wat abt the sony ericsson xperia series? wats the opinion to buy tat ??? im planing to buy a new xperia of the range 15000 ..
    is that the specification , feateures , battery backups are good??? and wat abt the touch screen quality ??? iis the gps system is gud??? pls help

    • xperia mini pro mobile phone from se is good, it has both qwerty keypad as well touchscreen input methods, you can buy that, its specs and features are good too.

      dunno abt battery backup in usage but it is good on paper. no idea abt gps.

  16. k and wat abt se x8 and se x10 mini .. these are the mobile in my list .. and du u knw the phones comparable with se at tis price and having better gps facilities?

    • se x10 mini costs a little less than mini pro mobile phone but features are same so you can go for any of them, features are nice. but se x8 is not good at all. no idea about which mobile phone has better gps.

  17. i need to buy smart phone with tough screen … my budget is about 15000 rs .. the qualities whic i need are
    1. touch screen sensitivity ,quality (both strenghth and display quality ) and also screen size
    2. battery backup for watching movies
    3. 3g support, video calling and gps
    4. expandable memory
    in ur opinion which phone is good????

    • samsung monte multimedia mobile phone is very good for watching movies, it has a very good battery life too. it costs nearly rs. 8000 very good phone indeed.

      • Mitali S says:

        Hey, is the Wildfire 3G enabled? Some people tell me it is, some tell me otherwise… So i want to know this from someone who has used it. And how’s the battery life… that is one of my priority Must-Haves

    • look for samsung wave 2…….. 3.7 inch screen,5 mp camera with auto focus and flash, expandable upto 32 gb……… etc etc…….

  18. Hi
    I want buy android mobile phone for browsing (with flash support) under 15k will u please suggest me any phone.
    thanking u

    • many mobile phones support flash but i would suggest you to go with sony ericsson xperia mini pro, it has a small touchscreen but its hardware is very good or else if you want a bigger touchscreen motorola xt5.

      if you can wait for sometime, please do because there would be many android phone coming to the market soon.

  19. Hi.. what about galaxy 551???
    any idea about its performance overall?? Is it a good buy fr rs. 13000

  20. hi,

    i want to know about LG optimus one..?? how’s the performance..??

    • the only problem with LG Optimus One is that is from LG, the hardware part is a bit in question.

      Overall the phone is good, no problem in user-experience at all just the hardware thing may sometimes cause a problem.

  39. Ajay Gulati says:

    hello Friends,
    read almost all reviews, thanks to all for sharing your views, more particularly to Mr. Narang, who has advised everyone..

    I went to buy BB 3G and I saw Galxy Ace there and I actually liked it so I dint buy any. thought to read reviews about galaxy Ace as BB is proven good phone.

    I read the reviews of Galaxy Ace, main problem is battery, hanging while using multi application and exiting the same.

    I just want to know how does net work on it and how fast the system is?

    Is it worth to buy this phone over BB as I like the touch screen pad.

    Mr. Narang, Kindly advise, ur reply would be appreciated.

  40. i want a touchscreen phone within the range of rs.12,000 to 15,000.., with good camera resolution up to 5mp or more, and good music quality n also have 3g and with its memory Extendable up to 16 gb or more n such other good features……..

    i like nokia c7…z there any problem with this phone??????

    pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzz help!!!

  41. Abhishek says:

    I want a phone for ultimate internet experience. Which is best – blackberry or some android phone.

    • Go with BlackBerry 8530, i think it has both Wi-Fi and 3G if you want a QWERTY phone, if you can manage touch phones then Sony Ericsson Xperia series isn’t that bad too. Would you mind telling me your budget.

  42. jatin notani says:

    i want a smartphone with touch screen and it should be fast and no stucking problem + should be compatible to install many apps + games …………… should good in music , camera , screnn resolution

  43. jatin notani says:

    samsung wave 2 or c7

  44. Guys According to me , the LG Optimus P500 is the undisputed champion of value for money.. Yeah Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 would be great buy too.

    Ace Has 3.5 inch screen along with 5 mega pixel autofocus camera(Flash)
    O1 Has 3.2 inch screen along with 3.2 mega pixel camera
    Screen resolution is same in both.

    Both runs on same type of processors, the Ace gets a speed bump of 200 MHz which brings the clock speed to 800 MHz. While O1 sticks to 600MHz.
    (200MHz of increased clock speed may not result in highly improved performance– Moreover ACE has a Over-clocked version of Optimus One CPU, nothing else.)

    However Ace has 1350 mAh battery, Optimus has 1500 mAh battery. Also RAM in Ace is 278 MB compared to 512 MB in Optimus
    Why pay 2.5k extra for a Device which has lower Ram? Biggest drawback for Ace.
    (Note : Android OS is memory intensive not cpu )

    One examle : At-least 512MB Ram (Ace has only 278mb Ram) should be there for running firefox on android. Follow : http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/platforms/

    On other hand LG Optimus One P500 is sure to get Android 2.3 Gingerbread update, however there no such announcement made by Samung yet for its model.

    In Summary…
    What I feel is O1 is worth every penny for its price as an entry level android.
    It makes sense to go for LGOptimus One..

    • it depends on the choice mate… i have never had a good experience with lg gadgets therefore i never recommend it… in cell phones…

      • Hmm…You are right..But i think you should be giving one more chance to lg gadgets. They are not that bad.

        I used lg choclate and it was ok.. no big issues.
        I had SE phone(cyberShot), a big headache..
        I have blacberry8530 now.. (It’s nice totally my kind of phone)
        and now i am planning to have moto Defy…

        Back to Point, You forgot to mention :
        1) Acer Mobile Android Phone (14500)
        2) Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini – Rs.11507
        3) Motorola Charm MB502 – Rs.11749
        4)Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8 – Rs.12596

        At last
        5) Dell XCD35(around 12K)

        These smart phones also would be good buy under 15K.

  45. I think blackberry curve 8900 is the best for a reason that is best known to me.

  46. hey,
    i just wanna ask that if htc wildfire has upgradable processor.

  47. Sai Charan says:

    Hello Rakesh..

    • um… i don’t think there any smartphone under rs. 15000 that can support online games, i am sorry, but you can buy htc wildfire s it would give you great video streaming but online games — i don’t think so.

  50. Virendra Singh says:

  53. Shashank Misra says:

    I’ve been an old Nokia phone. But scorned twice in last 1 year. First with E 72 (Jun 2010 & now with E 5 (Feb 2011). Both kept on freezing on me. And have made numerous trips to Nokia care. Even now, I think E 5 & 72 are just the phones I wanted. If only they could perform what they promise.

    My needs are rather ordinary.
    1. Qwerty
    2. 3g , wifi
    3. Decent camera( 3-5 mgp)
    4. Pushmail
    5. Limited surfing for news etc.
    6. Hardly any multimedia

    Blackberry would have served me well. But for 2 reasons
    1. Their internet services are 3- 4 times costly.
    2. I can’t use it to access internet on my laptop.

    • i would suggest you to have a look at samsung galaxy pro, it is qwerty, android has decent performance, you can tether internet on laptop. it doesn’t cost much as well. other than that htc wildfire s, the new one is quick little smartphone but it doesn’t have qwerty keyboard :(

      • Shashank Misra says:

        Thanks for your reply. Can you answer a few more qs?
        Is it true that typing on touch screen is more difficult than qwerty keypad?
        What are the disadvantages of touchscreen vs keypad phones? Are there any blackberry phones which can be tethered to laptop for internet? Why using net(I’m not talking about their enterprise mail system) is so much costlier on blackberry?

        • Well, yes, typing on touchscreen is more difficult than on a QWERTY keypad.

          There are no disadvantages, you just have to pick up the form factor that suits you. I can go with a touchscreen phone because neither i use phone for email nor texting.

          No, you can tether any Smartphone with your laptop, BlackBerry is no exception, you can easily tether any Android or Bada Phone with your computer using the software provided by the manufacturer.

          Any more questions?

    • NOT GONNA SAY says:

      get an htc wildfire, its low cost, and has an excess of excellent features
      its price is now 11500

  54. Ramprasad T says:

    Hello sir, i want nice business phone with including latest facilities as well as rate should be within 10,000 /- rupees only.
    please give a smart idea to purchase the mobile.

    • you can choose

      1) motorola xt5
      2) blackberry curve 8520
      3) samsung galaxy pro
      4) motorola flipout

      all these phones are pretty awesome and would come in the budget you mention, only motorola xt5 does not have a qwerty keyboard.

  55. Hi. I want a phone within 15k budget. Which one is better amongst Motorola Defy and Backflip.

    For an engineering student, can you please suggest other sets apart from Samsung, which includes pretty much the basic and official needs, has a capacitive touchscreen, and good camera quality. Because I already own an iPod 4G, so my music and gaming needs are met.

    • Motorola DEFY is better on papers, if you can handle large screen Smartphone then go for it.

      Also, BlackBerry Curve 9300 is good for the “official” needs like for carrying docs, ebooks etc.

  56. first of all thnkz to all people who share their idea.
    no if anyone want a phone within 15k i will suggest you to all go fos LG OPTIWUS P500. It is value for money. so don’t waste on searching via web. which is best android phone within 15k?
    don’t buy sansung it will give you only featurer but doesn’t have a good quality.

    • i differ from what you are saying, i have nothing against the optimus series but samsung ain’t bad at all, i have used samsung ace and one of my close friend is using samsung galaxy s and these smartphones are just amazing!

    • i agree with you, my word is not everything, a person has to try out different cell phones and then pick the one that fits his budget, features and trust well.

  57. hi sir

    i want to buy a mobile budget is 10 to 12 k
    requirement is 5mp camera, 3g wifi, gps, touch screen good looking, internet browsing very easy and sppedy which mobiles u suggest, pls help me that

  58. and how is the mobile nokia c503?

  59. i want to purchase a best 3g mobile and my budget is 15000.
    which would be best?????

  60. Please suggest me a phone (less than 15k) fulfilling the following requirements :
    1)Good battery life
    2)Great audio and video playback
    3)At least 3 MP camera
    4)Wi-fi, 3G
    5)Preferably Android OS

    • htc wildfire s and samsung galaxy ace, both have great battery life and ace has in-ear headphones so music would be nice, both run on android, pick one for yourself. try them out yourself before making a decision.

      • Do these support all generally used video formats?
        I’m willing to spend a little more to get that feature

        • galaxy ace has no support for xvid or divx but htc wildfire s smartphone does support xvid format, which is better than mp4 so i think wildfire is better in entertainment respects.

  61. motorolla xtc or samsung galaxy ace, which one is better?

    what is the advantages and disadvantages of both mobiles? price?

  62. motorola xt5 or samsung galaxy ace, which one is better?

    for internet browsing, downloading and 3g, wifi?

    both phones advantages and disadvantages?

    • Motorola xt5 has a 600MHz processor while samsung galaxy ace has an 800MHz processor, both support Wi-Fi and 3G therefore you internet connection would determine the speed of your browsing. Since galaxy ace has a better processor, app load time would be less on ace and ace also has good RAM so you can open multiple apps simultaneously as well.

      I would suggest you to try the phone at some display outlet, run a couple of apps, take a few pictures, you will get an idea about these Smartphones.

      Any more queries???

    • Dude, on papers, all phones look marvelous, LG Phones rock on papers but in the world, specs doesn’t matter but the performance of the phones does, therefore make a list of features you want and test the phone on that list, if the phone satisfies, buy it, it would be your decision and you’d love that phone.

      If you are a tech freak, of course.

  63. which is the best touchscreen smartphone between 10- 11,000 rs.??

  64. how is samsung galaxy pop and galaxy 3i5801?

    what is the difference between these two mobiles?

    what is the advantages and disadvantages of these 2 mobiles?

    pls help me and detailed explanation?

    • galaxy 3 has better specs check them out of gsmarena, i would suggest you to go for galaxy 3 smartphone rather than galaxy pop, galaxy pop doesn’t really compete with galaxy 3 and galaxy 3 looks a little better as well.

  65. Dear Sir
    Is there any difference between touchscreen of iphone 4 and rest of phones ?

    • Well, technically speaking, iPhone uses a better quality of capacitive display, and since its processor is good too, the response time of its touchscreen is very fast. You can get the same kind of quality in high end smartphones from htc, motorola, nokia and Samsung as well.

      • nikhil batta says:

        can anyone please suggest me good phone ranging between Rs 10000 to Rs 15000??
        it should not be a touch phone but it might have good battery back up!!

        reply soon.

        • Most Smartphones these days come with Android and Touchscreens so it’s hard to find a new Smartphone. Go with the all time best Smartphones like BlackBerry 9300 Curve or Nokia E72. They would fall in your budget.

    • Samsung Galaxy S i9000 Smartphone costs Rs. 22,900/- on Flipkart.com and you may get a it for around Rs. 21K – Rs. 22K from a local dealer.

      I don’t think you will find a cheaper alternative to it, Galaxy S is a very good Smartphone, lovely Android Smartphone.

    • why ur not replying me boss?

    • Samsung Galaxy Fit has 5MP camera, Galaxy Gio has 800MHz processor and Galaxy 551 has a silde-out QWERTY keyboard.

      What do you want, a good camera, a better performance phone or a QWERTY phone. Go for 1,2,3 based on your choice, the remaining stats are almost the same.

  69. which is best galaxy fit or optimus one??
    n also tel me good android phone bw 10-11k…

  71. I will suggest you to go with LG OPTIMUS P500 OR LG OPTIMUS NET.

  72. optimus net india me kab ane vala hai??
    aur uski price kitni hogi??

  73. sir wts d major diff btwn samsung galaxy fir and ace..i think features, software etc. are all d same xcpt d size..while the price diff z of 5k..

    • I am just 18, so i can’t be sir. :) Anyways, Galaxy Fit has 65K color display screen while Ace boasts a 16M color display, you will feel that liquid display in Ace which is great. Ace has better processor, better camera and better operating system (Android v2.3 Gingerbread), that’s why it costs higher. Also, Galaxy Ace has a bigger touchscreen.

  74. Devilal Rajappan says:

    Hi Bro,

    Am planning to buy a smartphone. Things needed..

    1. Andriod
    2. Touch Screen
    3. Good processing speed.
    4. 5< MP camera with LED Flash.
    5. Wifi,USB,TV OUT….etc..
    6. Priced 10k-15k

    Appreciate if you can provide some good suggestion.

  75. Sreejith Menon says:

    Bro…
    I am using samsung galaxy 5570 and earlier used Nokia N73 and N 95. I am looking for a Smartphone at around15k with these specs..
    QWERTY Keyboard
    5 MP to 8MP camera
    Android or Symbian latest( I dont mind using either )
    I need my outlook emails to be easily accessed in phone!
    Please specify some phone with price!

    • Motorola DEFY is a very nice Smartphone but it has no QWERTY keyboard and BlackBerry 9300 Curve has great email and business function but the camera is 3.2 and the quality would not be comparable to that of Motorola DEFY.

      Also, you can check out Samsung Galaxy Ace, it’s a mid-range Galaxy Smartphone.

  76. vaibhav dwivedi says:

    Sir,
    I want an andriod phone in budget of Rs.15000/-, with a front camera !!

    • I check Samsung Galaxy Ace, Motorola DEFY and HTC Wildfire S, all Android but unfortunately none of them have front-facing cam.

      Sorry, but Nokia C6-01 has a second camera for video calls but… it runs on Symbian, so…! What do you think?

  77. Amanjeet Singh Walia says:

    Hi,

    I m looking for smartphone in the range of 15000 but with both touchscreen and Qwerty keyboard with 3G video calling ,good camera, android os and good processing speed.I need my outlook emails to be easily accessed in phone

    • try the new samsung galaxy pro…. it is a good set

    • Go for Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro. It has 5 mp camera with hd video recording, front camera, android 2.3, 1 ghz processor, great hardware and above all it is around 15 k. Trust me man this the only midrange phone with dual camera and it will bang the market definitly.

  78. Devilal Rajappan says:

    Could you please suggest about Sony Ericsson Xperia 10 mini Vs Samsung ACE ??

  79. how can i download adobe flash in my mobile? my moblie is LG optimus one
    can u pls help me to download adobe flash

  80. Hi Rakesh,

    Can you suggest me a good smart phone. My budget is <10k.
    My requirements
    ———————–
    1. Play most video format files.
    2. Screen size should be large, so that it should be easy to watch movies.
    3. Good pixel quality
    4. Camera
    5. 3G
    6. Touchscreen
    7. QWERTY keyboard
    8. Android version alteast 2.1
    9. Internet Browsing

  81. I AM LOOKING FORTH TO BUY ANEW PHONE IN THE PRICE RANGE OF 10000 TO 13000. COULD SOMEBODY PLS SUGGEST SOME GOOD PHONES THAT COME IN THAT RANGE. IT WAS IN MY CONSIDERATION TO OPT FOR E71 BUT WILL SYMBIAN BE OUTDATED SOON?? PLZ SUGGEST SOME PHONES…

    • Symbian is outdated but still Nokia e71 is a great phone for business and overall performance, Most business people don’t like playing games and stuff so it is definitely a nice choice for them. Anyways, in the price range you mentioned, you can buy Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro (the screen size a bit small though), HTC Wildfire S or BlackBerry Curve 9300 3G.

  82. hii rakesh,
    pls suggest me the better phone from galaxy ace and se xperia mini pro(android 2.3).

    u’ve used ace… is it good in its performermance.
    pls help me

    • Dude, Both phones have their pros and cons, Galaxy Ace is better in performs, but is a failed copy of iPhone, it looks pathetic, I would instead go for HTC Wildfire S and on the other hand Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro has a small touchscreen but still looks better. It’s your call now, which one you want.

  83. I am thinking of getting a new phone in the range of 15k to 17 k. i have already read your article but am confused regarding HTC and blackberry.Which one is the best option?M looking forward to handset which is portable not heavy like nokia but do have the life and is long lasting unlike samsung.

    • A Portable Smartphone… Hmm… Most touchscreen phones these days have 3″ – 4″ screen size so they are not very portable. BlackBerry has a smaller screen size but is a bit heavy. What type of phone do you want, for entertainment or for business?

    pls don’t tell that both of them are good.
    i have high addiction of games and internet.

    • Try them out yourself in some display store, both phones are comparable in terms of overall performance, but if you are addicted to game, go for samsung galaxy ace because it has a dedicated adreno processor that would render high quality android video games on this smartphone, although don’t expect to run HD games, they require too much of GPU.

  94. i am confused between samsung wave 2 and htc salsa? also is video calling available in samsung wave 2. many says there is no app in bada market for video calling… does both support adobe flash.. please reply

    • Hey Alok,

      LG Optimus Me looks a pretty good Smartphone when it comes to technical specs but the main problem that i have personally faced with LG is the experience. If it is possible then you should try it out in some store that has it on display. If you like the experience, buy it otherwise i can recommend you some phone that i have personally checked out.

      Regards,
      Rakesh

    • Both HTC Salsa and Wildfire have a good camera and similar display screen, the only difference is in the size. Pick up the one with which you are comfortable.

      HTC Explorer is an entry level Android – out of Salsa and Wildfire’s league.

    • Choose any phone, both look have somewhat similar features. LG Optimus Net Dual has better processor while Micromax A75 has flash with camera. In my opinion LG Optimus is better on papers.
      Why don’t you try them out yourself before you decide to buy it.

    • Check out HTC ChaCha, it has QWERTY keypad for messaging and Social Networking and runs on Android OS which can be customized with apps, wallpapers, games and more. It is a pretty decent Android Phone with QWERTY keypad.
