Hey, I need some help getting a ~10k mobile.
I've read through the thread, I know everyone recommends LG optimus, but I'm kinda looking for one with a qwerty keypad.
Here are few I've been looking at:
Samsung Galaxy 551
Started with this, read the review at GSMArena, saw some links to similar mobiles at similar prices, came up with a few more:
SONY ERICSSON XPERIA X10 MINI PRO
LG fathom
MOTOROLA MILESTONE (I think this one is somewhat older but still looks good)
The thing is, I'm not into mobiles too much, so don't know much about them, till now I was just carrying around a cheap nokia model for calls and some music. But now that I'm buying a new one I want something nice
I don't know much about 3g either, only that it means better internet speed and video calling lol (Not interested in that)
How is the mobile internet speed these days? Can I expect to watch 360p youtube vids without buffering? Are there like different plans available?
And are there any other mobiles of this type (Smart phone with sliding qwerty keypad, touchscreen, email, I want some internet browsing capabilities too, should be able to watch vids on youtube, good sound quality) within my range that anyone could suggest?
Samsung galaxy looks good but the main problem I have with it is that Motorola milestone and xperia x10 mini pro seem to have 5mp cameras compared to the galaxy's 3.2mp, and I don't like the curvy-edged square body , hard-edged square body of the other 3 look better.
I don't know much about OSes either, I wanna try out android, but which version? I think the motorolla comes with 2.1 eclair, Galaxy with 2.2 Froyo,
LG fathom with Windows Mobile 6.5 (Less features in this one, but it has email, looks good and seems to be a LOT cheaper. But its resistive touchscreen. So I don't think I'll go with this one.) and xperia x10 mini pro with Android Donut 1.6, upgradable to 2.1.
Any basic difference between all these versions?
Last thing, could anyone recommend some models if instead of a qwerty keypad I just want a good touchscreen and the BEST possible sound quality, nearby 10k?(With earphones/headphones, and should have a LOUD loudspeaker too)
Thanks =)
