Before filling the questionnaire template I think I should mention the actual usage of the phone:
apart from usual calling and texting, my dad will be using this phone to have (#warning: noob alert) video chat/call with me through 3G/ skype..I will be using my Galaxy Note..none of us have any experience in video chatting and calling..please enlighten me in this area!!


1. Budget?
10k max
may increase to fulfill the requirement

2. Display type and size?
3.2"-3.5" around is good enough I think
3. Form Factor? bar, slider, flip?
bar
4. Preferred choice of brand?
Samsung, HTC (others as well if fulfills requirement
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.
This one is important..and I am not sure about this..please suggest according to the requirement
7. Preferred operating system? (Android, Symbian, iOS, Windows Phone etc).
whatever fulfills the requirement but like to stay away from WP because of no file transfer via Bluetooth..android is preferable cause I'm android dev :mrgreen: and a big no to Symbian
8. Preferred connectivity options (3G, Wifi etc)Please specify clearly.
3G,Wifi
9. Preferred applications (Flash, Swype, GPS, etc)?
whatever comes with the phone..other than the aforementioned requirement these doesn't matter that much

Neo V is slowly having its price cut. already available for around 15.5k i guess. why not go for it?

else Live With Walkman. Those you get a small screen but easily within your budget.
