Hi Guys, Xperia Neo V or Xperia Ray will be great ?
I liked Ray much.

And also, does the golden colour of Ray wear out ?

Try and use the Ray for a bit before considering... esp. browsing and typing. 3.3" screen is bit too small for comfortable browsing and typing. Remember, 3.3" screen is narrower than 3.2". Size aside, screen and cam is better than Neo V. Decide what is more important for you.

Okay, another thing, I was searching ebay where I found costly handsets at a low price, but with dealers warranty. Eg, ray is available at Rs 13500, imported from UK with ! year dealer's warranty. What is that and how is that?

^^ means if something happens to Ray, you ship it back to the seller and pray he sends you back a new/repaired unit. its like having a Chinese mobile with Sony tag.

Okay then will not buy from eBay.

But if it a Genuine seller who sold about 7000 products and 99.6% positive ratting, con we trust them ?

I don't think you can trust the dealer for a 1 year warranty. What will you do if he does not honor his commitment? AFAIK eBay will wash its hands off the deal after few weeks. After that its between you and the seller. What if send it to him and he never returns it or something?

But I don't think its fair to say its like a Chinese phone with Sony tag. Consider it a Sony with no warranty. So if something goes wrong, bad luck.

I'd say go for it only if price difference makes the risk worth it.

One more issue - check with seller if its a MANUFACTURER sealed box. Some are advertising "sealed boxes" and on confirming saying they are not manuf. sealed. Then sealed by who? Gawd knows...

Wildfire S for 10k with 7 months warranty is a very good deal.

Hey guys help me choosing an android phone below 10k

1. Budget? - 10000/-

2. Display type and size? - TFT

3. Form Factor? bar, slider, flip? - Bar

4. Preferred choice of brand? - HTC,Motorola,Samsung,LG(brands no bar really)

5. Preferred input method (QWERTY, touchscreen, numpad, touch-n-type). - Touchscreen

6. What camera option you want? Please specify need for flash, autofocus, front facing camera. -Camera is not really a priority for me. Even a 2mp cam without flash will do just fine by me

7. Preferred operating system? (Android, Symbian, iOS, Windows Phone etc). - Android

8. Preferred connectivity options (3G, Wifi etc)Please specify clearly. - 3G

9. Preferred applications (Flash, Swype, GPS, etc)? - Flash is a MUST .

10. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, mails, internet, gaming etc)? - primary usage will be surfing the internet(twitter,fb,youtube,gmail,etc)

11. Any specific mobile phones in consideration? - I have narrowed down on the HTC Explorer and Motrola Fire XT after some research online. You guys can suggest me some other models though

12. Any other info that you want to share - After some research I observed that even though the Fire XT has better specs than the Explorer somehow many people are opting for the Explorer :-?. Any particular reason for this ?
