Re: Mobile Buying Guide: May 2013

I am looking for phone for wifey. Our priorities are:

1. atleast 1 GB RAM.
2. At least 4" inch screen.
3. good after sales service.
4. Atleast 1 Ghz proccy.
5. Budget 30K max can extend few bucks. I want to see her happy.
7. if possible light on hand like 140gm max.
8. the phone should not hang at all like iphone.

I already have iphone 4. and don't want to go for apple again. Good after sales service is must.

One X+. Lightest of the lot, fast, beautiful, sturdy, amazing screen and sound.

Yes, just in the Gpu department and nothing else. If your wife doesn't game then one x + wins in every other department.

My friend had some issue with his phone, he sent it and he got a replacement in 15 days. I'm not sure if it should be called good.

Cool, so if it falls within my budget and I find a demo model Ill try to get this then or i'll probably get L9. Just want to see if the screen is large enough

Re: Mobile Buying Guide: May 2013

I know this is an outdated phone, but I'm really interested in getting a Nokia N9 for ~18k. Any non-android alternatives that also support FLAC files (either natively or via downloadable applications)? Price is not important BTW.

The only ones fitting this bill that I know of are Symbian 3 phones.

Please do not suggest android because I do not like the OS.

Re: Mobile Buying Guide: May 2013

^AFAIK, N9 Has no more support,Nokia Killed the platform Meego already.So Think carefully

Re: Mobile Buying Guide: May 2013

^ Jolla Sailfish may be

Re: Mobile Buying Guide: May 2013

[theserpent]

Re: Mobile Buying Guide: May 2013

^Under 15k go for Lumia 620 or galaxy s Adv

^ Jolla Sailfish may be

If your talking about the platform it was meego

L9 if you can find for 15-16k. with the recent release of Galaxy Win and customers getting fooled by its quadcore tagline, L9 should get another hefty pricecut.

Re: Mobile Buying Guide: May 2013

Sam & other members , the scariest part of buying a phone is when you bought a phone & then get to know that the phone is stolen one that thing happened with my friend , so how can one know that the phone is real ? sam i think i will get l9 for 15000 to 16000 in gaffar market so should i buy from there considering it is a notorious market ???

Re: Mobile Buying Guide: May 2013

Gaffar market has lots of mobiles including nexus series...but why wud u buy a used one without warranty/or sometimes with warranty And suspicious devices...

Gaffar is a hit and try place...nobody knows...

Buy a fresh one and PLAY SAFE.

I was saying a stolen phone repacked & selling as a new one
