While i had almost decided on HTC Wildfire (14500/-).... and here comes more confusion :p

Samsung Galaxy 3 (12000/-) : Exclusive: Samsung i5801 Galaxy 3 now available in India for Rs. 12,000 | Androidos.in

Samsung Galaxy 5 (9000/-) : Exclusive: Samsung Galaxy 5 available in India for Rs 9,000 | Androidos.in

Now some time back there were no androids below 15k n now it seems we have a lot 2 choose from!

Please help me decide which one to go for, i want Value for Money :)

And you also have the X8 coming up which has a much higher resolution than any of the phones you have mentioned. Oh, and if anyones complaining, it comes with 2.1.

Right now i5800 is the best choice...

Only if SE X8 launches soon in this budget...It can beat them all:smile:

You can go for either Wildfire or Galaxy 3. I would not recommend other phone in the list.
You get better camera with Wildfire - 5 MP, Internal memory is more and similarly small small issues.
But then Galaxy 3 is priced lower than Wildfire.
- Do not Cry for Spica, It would never get Android 2.2 update, which will soon be available for both these phones.

why is samsung galaxy 5 not a good choice? It's got almost the same processor speed and I feel a much bigger screen size as the galaxy 3, it has wifi and 3g and it costs 3000 less. So why not a galaxy 5? :smile:

Galaxy 3:
240 x 400 pixels, 3.2 inches
Multi-touch input
3.15 MP cam with autofocus
667 MHz processor
MP4/DivX/XviD/WMV/H.264/H.263 player

Galaxy 5:
240 x 320 pixels, 2.8 inches
No Multi-touch inpu(not sure bout this)
2 MP cam with fixed focus
600 MHz processor

Definitely galaxy 3 is worth 3000/- more :)

the only significant diff is the camera. and regarding divx/wmv/ etc support isn't there any s/w available in android for them?
