This might sound an anti-climax after all this ;), but if you can strech your budget, then go for HTC's Android phones. Reason, better support from both company and custom ROM's,MODS from communities.

But HTC Legend starts with 23K :O Near double :evil:
But build quality is great...

don't go for wildfire. the lower resolution screen may not be worthy. and yes, HTC hero already has 2.1 upgrade in some parts of USA and custom ROMs are already available. among Spica and hero, I would definitely choose Hero. and if u take the budget to 25k, legend and milestone are terrific options. if support is not a problem look for HTC desire or nexus one.

I highly doubt the pricing of X10 mini, its available in US for $410 that is around 18.5K
Even in case of X10, an unlocked one from US costs around $700 roughly 32k, similar to the pricing here. So how's 13.5K possible ??

I told you what i gathered. it can be a bit high in places like bangalore and likewise.. given I get my prices directly from the distributor and buy it from them.Wholesale prices are a lil low. Wont be more than 14.5k in any case. And the Indian pricing does not reflect the US pricing.. it generally reflects the trend in sweden where it is selling for 260 euros.

Hi,

No i7500 doesnt have 2.1 update!!

I personally used Both i5700 and i7500...

i5700 vs i7500
TFT - OLED
Capacitive Touch - Resistive Touch


Go for Spica... I like the Display of I7500 and its 8GB Memory. But its slow.. :(
Touch sensitivity is Very Good in Spica.

Dude, Both have capacitive touch screens.

I would not recommend X10mini(it looks a dwarf) or wildfire becas of their screen resolutions.
I checked tattoo(it too has 320x240) long back and android was not as beautiful as it is on other phones. It looks pixellated and doesn't support many apps out there.
More over it was resistive touch so that put me off completely. I think a minimum resolution of 320x480 is good for android os.

If there is any phone that i wud trade my spica for its gonna be N1. Main reason is extensive 3rd party ROM availability and direct google updates.

background apps might have slowed down the response and may be you might have compared 1.5 Galaxy with 2.1 Spica :)
Both have similar response when I tried.

I had a clear look at Xperia X10 Mini's specs and isn't the screen too small for a smarphone? and also the rated talktime is at 4hrs (GSM 2G). The biggest problem with be tasks like web browsing and gaming. The 240x320 resolution 2.55" display can be Achilles heel to this phone. While it's main competitors will have a higher resolution and 3.2" display, this one will look really mini :) On the bright side, from online previews, this looks to be one hell of a phone on performance.

What I think on X10mini is that it will be a great 2nd phone...I mean its really small for web browsing and gaming..... but its very cute and light:mrgreen: and packs a descent punch
