i saw the techtree show, they were discussing it as the steal deal. all i can remember is its from samsung, got android, 3.2 inch display. and the name was samsung sxxxxx( not sure)

Samsung Galaxy.

 

[MasterMinds]

oh yes it is, thanks mate.

 

[amitabhishek]

Its called Samsung Galaxy Spica. I checked the price this weekend now retails now at Rs.12,444 !

What are your views about the HTC Tattoo.. I'm thinking about getting this one.. it has resistive touchscreen.. is it a big problem on a small screen?

 

[kalpik]

Yes.. Most apps wont work on the tattoo because of its low resolution.

 

[amitabhishek]

Except RAM and Sense UI; Galaxy Spica pwns Tattoo. Sensi UI is good but sluggish & then Tattoo has only 256MB for it.

IMO if you are buying an Android device go for Samsung Galaxy Spica. It has got a bigger AMOLED screen, faster processor, xViD/DivX support, Android market, a patented sound engine etc. Android Market has lots of apps. that can only be enjoyed on a capacitive screen.

If marketed properly (looks like Samsung is currently intrested in promoting only aam janta phones ) this phone will be a rage!!!

Damn that Samsung Spica is hot.. i'm selling my 5800 XM

 

[MasterMinds]

Dude, Android phones completely blow away any Nokia touchscreen phones!

 

[amitabhishek]

While Googling for something else I landed up here. Handy for someone with Samsung Galaxy. MoDaCo ROM for Samsung Galaxy probably with Sense UI.

@sunny.. not really.. N900 rocks.. it blows away most of the Android phones except that Sony Ericsson X10

N900? Dude! That thing is plain filthy. Not to mention the uber suckage of Symbian OS. No offence to anyone but Symbian doesn't stand a chance against Android or Mobile OS X.

uhh.. N900 runs Maemo, not Symbian.

Yeah, just read that.

I just have the tendency to hate Nokia phones, no matter how awesome they may be.

 

[kalpik]

*prays really hard that the HTC desire is release under 30k officially in India*

Maemo is actually better than even iPhone OS.

I have used N810 albeit briefly and it was brilliant. By that yardstick N900 should also be a great device. Its pity that as far as India is concerned Nokia believes in giving us a rat's a$s. BTW N900 still sports a resistive screen and a stylus.
