Need help buyin a new phone aorund 12 k

[neerajvohra]

I already posted this and havent checked your reply@sriharsha_madineni

ovi store is nothing compared to Android market.

I don't agree because Honestly, I never felt any lack of apps. but then maybe its just me.

having the functionality integrated into the Andriod OS/UI is always much better than dedicated apps

Yes, True.Integration is good with native apps that is gtalk in andriod but that level can be achieved with third party apps like fring,nimbuzz.

Spica aka andriod market are catching up. Still there are many things missing from android which Symbian has like Python Support.wonder how long it would take to catchup

I would kick Symbian for Android or iPhone anyday. But sticking because of the value it gives me. using 5800 and its got every feature a modern smart-phone should have mail & calendar with sync, full html browser(Social networking),Good connectivity(3g,wifi), storage(>=8Gigs),lots of apps,good music player, etc just at a cheaper price. whereas Android or iPhone are costly with comparable features would cost much more.

Android doesn't do video calling (yet). all these phones doesn't come with front facing camera

Don't comment people doesn't use video calling in India..you yourself commented that you buy and use phone for almost 2 years somewhere...september 3g will begin hopefully.. You wont change your phone every 6 months...lol

What about heavy texting users :: If your key requirement is heavy texting then android had a terrible onscreen keyboard the worst I have seen in a touch phone(android 2.1 is the same in terms of keypad performance).

Spica drawback is that it doesn't support multi touch input and its total ram is just 160MB causing lag sometimes same as 5800 old firmware does..not with v50

Regarding cost : Senhiser headset that comes with Nokia 5800XM...

Only 2 cons for this phone:

- Software not as good as Android
- Processing power

But if you look at the advantages:

- Video calling when 3 g launches
- My familiarity with Nokia OS making it breeze to use
- Great camera for my budget with Carl Zies Lens @somewhere you said 5800xm camera is poor..I was asking to compare it with Spica..and do post pics of yours and I will post mine ?? If you really want to compare..If you're looking for a camera phone in this budget..there are many other available options.

- Perhaps the best resistive touch screen I have used
-8 gb onboard memory
-full lifetime Nokia voice navigation with maps

Check out that samsung India updated details of phone on web site in may 2010..too lazy people..I hate samsung customer care...there service centers..Do compare there service center with Nokia..

More to come..If time permits me

.nokia n8 gonna cost somewhere down the line and then spica will never exist and other models of Samsung will also be lost somewhere...lol ??

Ever heard of Samsung Galaxy I9000??

So what you say is 13.8K 5800 is cheaper than 12K Spica??

Don't comment people doesn't use video calling in India..you yourself commented that you buy and use phone for almost 2 years somewhere...september 3g will begin hopefully.. You wont change your phone every 6 months...lol

I for one have been using 3G on 5800 for the last three months, I have used Video call just ONCE. It's so irritating to start with. Voice call is better for the time being.

What about heavy texting users :: If your key requirement is heavy texting then android had a terrible onscreen keyboard the worst I have seen in a touch phone(android 2.1 is the same in terms of keypad performance).

I have no doubt you have never used it

Spica drawback is that it doesn't support multi touch input and its total ram is just 160MB causing lag sometimes same as 5800 old firmware does..not with v50

Again the same, compare v50 5800 with 2.2 Spica, and its not 160MB, it has 128MB RAM.

Regarding cost : Senhiser headset that comes with Nokia 5800XM...

You must be kidding about the quality of those bundled senn!!!!

- Perhaps the best resistive touch screen I have used

This is it, you haven't tried better ones and you feel this is THE BEST

- 8 gb onboard memory

From where did you get a 5800 with 8GB onboard memory instead of 81MB

- full lifetime Nokia voice navigation with maps

You are comparing this with Google maps
Voice navigation is available for Android in US, soon to be available else where.

I compared the features for 13.5k with spica

I for one have been using 3G on 5800 for the last three months, I have used Video call just ONCE. It's so irritating to start with. Voice call is better for the time being.

Just that you cant make it..blaming the handset
I have no doubt you have never used it

soon doesn't count..its right now that counts

.

You still are not getting my point...and keep arguing with spica vs 5800. Its my personal opinion that Samsung sucks badly in quality and cheap build..then you run away with features..than OS..andriod market..then price of 13.5k compared with 12k...

The bottom line from my opinion is the quality of Samsung Phones are too bad to give them a chance..

You compared sound quality of Spica with 5800XM..Now I doubt you ever tried 5800xm.

You haven't replied to the Customer care part ?? You haven't replied to the pictures that I wrote to compare..Headset Quality-Free is better than nothing..and they are better than the headset ever supplied with Spica

Somewhere you post about galaxy??for this N8 coming soon

Good to hear this

 

[dreamcatcher]

omg!! All this over a spica..

 

[desiibond]

One says that Spica has better Android software and processing power. but still says it is nothing before 5800 xm.
other says that Hd hates Samsung and hence chooses 5800 xm over Spica. guys, you are here to suggest a best bang for buck phone for a fellow digital, not to show off your loyalty on a brand and dislike on another brand. Being. Blogger, you need to put product quality before personal feeling else you will be treated as one of those biased writers floating over the internet.

and if you want to argue, please put some valid points first.

@neerajvohra : Leave it dude... i figured out from his first reply that this harsha guy cant get plain English, i told this guy i've used the C6 and also accepted that android is better than symbian but still says "go to the mall and check out" and stuff which i don't get y or well maybe its me who does not understand. anyway can't wait for this guy to break my post into tiny tiny quotes and fire again. he's a kiddo with a ants brain. but he's right on one account, ignorance is bliss (big words for a guy like this) anyway chill dude let him be. No one can win an argument with a fool.

 

[azzu]

5800xm capabilities..the customization, amazing list of software,games...etc.

Does 800mhz processor and andriod makes samsung phones up than nokia

EPIC LOL

Can't you see the point ?? Spica launched on 17 Nov 2009 and Nokia 5800xm launched somewhere in September, 2008..One year old Nokia phone is still the hot device in the market..the best selling phone and still people compare it with Spica lol ??
.Its ok to comment that Spica has better hardware coz its new in market

yes 5800 was a hot seller and a good mobile
but as u stated SPica is newer with better hardware
OP u heard it

 

[desiibond]

omg!! All this over a spica..

No.its not about Spica. It's more about this Nokia fanboyism. It's about the feeling that whatever nokia made and makes is better than others. It's about those trolls who comment about a device without using it or knowing about it (properly).

lol ...I really don't understand why these guys keep on going with this argument..now I realize your point

EPIC LOL

See here itself..they read what they want to read..but not what they don't...with this I still wrote something about 5800xm...lol samsung cheap quality..someone even compared spica music with 5800xm..that scared the hell out of me..

No.its not about Spica. It's more about this Nokia fanboyism. It's about the feeling that whatever nokia made and makes is better than others. It's about those trolls who comment about a device without using it or knowing about it (properly).

Sums up.. @napster007 you are right my friend..I don't blame them fools..but everyone here has his own knowledge and experience..but they really don't understand what someone else trying to say..until they hear what they want to...From the beginning..I keep saying samsung samsung quality..then it went for the andriod, processor..etc..offcourse few bunch of other people follow for the argument..hehe

PS: blaming for a blogger it really harsh my friend..whomsoever its..I really don't post about samsung stuff @my blog coz its not worth it and its not at all called as QUALITY...never..2-3 threads for omnia hacks..that people wants me to...

Offcourse I do post about samsung quality...I keep updating/removing old posts..but I do post about there bad quality time to time :

Samsung Phone Explodes in Face


Samsung Phone Explodes in Face: "
*i792.photobucket.com/albums/yy206/neerajvohra/samsung-phone-explodes-e12738637963.jpg

In a shocking incident a Samsung phone on Verizon exploded in the face of a user reports Gizmodo. The user dropped the phone inside his car and the phone exploded rendering the man shocked.Luckily the person is not blind and did not suffer any serious injuries. We are not sure if the phone was misused or deliberately made to explode. Anyway its shocking to hear. Looks like the battery inside the phone exploded.

And this is how the phone looks when it’s not a bomb !

*images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/samsung-rogue.jpg

Whom do you blame for the phone turning into a bomb ? The user , Maker of the Phone – Samsung or Phone’s Carrier – Verizon ?

Again u have no answer to nokia battery explosions question asked by harsh and Instead you divert the topic to personal attacks. Pathetic. You give half true facts and when questioned, you call the questioning ad as foolishness. I asked you already to provide solid facts and you post one isolated Incident on blown battery and think of it as Samsung problem. Nokia batteries exploded few years ago and nokia did mass battery recall, what do you think about that? According to your earlier concclusions, It should make Nokia far worse in handset quality. As I said earlier, your posts only make it worse. With half knowledge, your posts are worth nothing.
@sriharsha, I heard about fanboyism and I also heard about anti-fanboyism but never saw a mix of both combined with lack of knowledge on the loved and hated companies till now.
