best mobile

[srikrishnan]

Hi Friends,

I am new this forum. But I am regular reader of Digit for the past 5 to 6 years. I have also subscribed to Digit for the last one year.

I want to buy a mobile. At present I have Nokia 3230. But it was 4 to 5 years old. I have installed quick office, dictionary in added to that I want to read PDF files from my mobile.

So the screen should be somewhat big. with all the above facilities of installing 3rd party softwares.

My buget is maximum 20,000. Can anybody suggest a best one for my need?

Thanks,
Srikrishnan

^ @sujoyp : you are becoming samsung fan

i personally like Samsung wave over omania due to lightweight, small size, faster processor.

Nokia X6 has the advantage of NOKIA brand name , but it does not have Divx/xvid support out of box.

Naah still not a samsung fan...but neither Nokia nor SE have good phones in this range

X6 is just a "for the time being" type of phone

srikrishnan wanted a phone that could double up as document reader and pdf reader soo i think Omnia Pro have everything already inside also it have a qwerty keyboard which will help him in editing the files

Feature & hardware wise Wave is superb

Hi Friends,

I hope "Samsung B7610 OmniaPRO" is the best choice for my interests.

1. It has 3.5" wide screen
2. windows os (I hope it supports unicode, so I can browse even tamil webpages)
3. mobile default applications of office and pdf reader
4. qwerty keyboard with touch screen facility
5. 5 mb camera
6. wifi
7. music
8. 3g

in the feedback pages I came to knew there is a speed issue and keyboard issues in this mobile, can anybody confirm is this a very significant problem with this model or ignorable one?

Also in chennai Univercell quotes the price of the model as Rs. 18,300 (excluding taxes). What is the price of this phone in other major cities like Mumbai, Banglore, etc.?

Thanks in Advance,
Srikrishnan
