cancelled the ones that are above your budget or are on outdated OS or China made.

so only C5-03, O1 & Fit left. go for any. but Fit won't last you even a day under moderate use. so Nokia C5-03 or O1. your take.

My Vote: Optimus One. best 10k touchscreen mobile.

Optimus one seems to win and am pretty much in agreement with these revies. but today i visited a shop with offered me cherry mobile magnum hd. this amazing mobile is from a philipenes company (i dont trust) at rs 9600. it has android 2.3 , 4.5 inch screen, touch screen, 512 mb ram, 800 mhz cpu. could some help me if its reallly loaded with android or not. he also offers me 1 year manufacturers warranty (provided by DEll - thats so stange).

.........................................

also please refer new smart phones under 10k . people only seem to be reviewing my selections while iappluse them plz post new smart phones that u come across.

thnxs guys for listining. keep helping me...

A quick search for "cherry mobile magnum" showed a mobile phone with android 2.2, 1 GHz proccy, 4.1" screen etc. It seems that it's a rebranded Huawei Ideos X6
If that shopkeeper actually was refering to this mobile (ideos x6) then I think it would be a steal at just 9.8k.
Why dont you ask the shopkeeper to have a quick hands on, before finalising???

And Optimus One is the best available handset under 10k, that's why everyone of us is suggesting it. We would have suggested you the same even if you haven't given any options :)

MY friends got galaxy ace and i would skip it completely. battery life is really a pain in ones ass. as he bought he played around with it and with 5 hrs battery was dumb. even without use batttery doesn last longer than 20 hrs..

well samsung galaxy 3 is priced at 9k and samsung galaxy 5. wats about them! are they better than optimus one.

till now i think i wanna go with o1 . (i would miss my nokia and s60v5 a lot. owned nokia n72 , n96 , 5233 , but now following others recommendations to go with android!!!!!!!1

The phones marked in BOLD are crap now. Go with LG Optimus One(P500) or wait for HTC Wildfire S

Save the money. HVGA resolution is the minimum you should get... Anything below that is crap screen... total waste of money.

Save for Optimus One...

well nokia c5 03 has a vga screen which is better than qvga and hvga in terms of resulution but then it has a resistive disply. also o 1 has 256 colors while c5 03 has 16 million.

I have an Optimus One and I can vouch for the fact that the colour depth on my O1 is stunning... 256,000 colours is good enough for me... add to it Android Froyo 2.2, excellent web browser, Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS with Navigation support, Compass, 3.2" multitouch capacitive HVGA screen, 3MP camera with VGA recording, good sound output, Fast 600 Mhz CPU, dedicated powerful GPU, plenty of RAM...

do 1 simple test: if any of your friend got a Symbian S60v5 mobile, use it for 1hr only (you can use a Nokia 5230). game or browse or just enjoy music & also do a bit of multitasking (game + music). next go to any mobile store & ask for a demo of Optimus One or Galaxy Fit. you'll know yourself why Android rocks & Symbian sucks.

Fast 600 Mhz CPU, dedicated powerful GPU, plenty of RAM...

these 3 make O1 standout from the rest of the 10k mobiles. never ever felt sluggish or slow. used many mobiles, but this mobile is really a different deal.
