Raj,apple india site rates for iTouch are 12800+tax(8GB),16100+tax(16GB),21000+tax(32GB)

I've also enquired from Reliance iStore Hyd,they said 8Gb costs about 15000,16GB costs about 18000,but 32GB is out of stock in many outlets.

You should get it for around 13k from local resellers :)

OK now i have had one more extensive demo at reliance digital and is felt quite nice this time. I am all geared up to buy this one. Now my question is what would be the best store to buy it from:

1) Nokia dealer
2)Stores like TheMobileStore

I am asking this question because i found that the Warranty support are different.For example with MobileStore, i go for my warranty claims at a MobileStore outlet and NOT to a Nokia Service Center.
Which one would be better in terms of service support?

--->The reason why you felt there is a lag is because,unlike normal touchbased phones,5800 uses double click to open up certain menus.So the first time you clicked an icon you have just selected it and only when u press it again it actually runs.So that is why you might have felt this lag.
I've been using it for a month and i've never felt any lag.
But it takes time to figure out which one uses single tap and which uses double tap.

---->I do own an ipod touch 2g and i know the interface of it is lightyears ahead of any touchscreen device i've ever seen,courtesy its multitouch screen,Whereas in 5800 it is not multitouch hence the difference.But i feel 5800's screen looks much sharper

---->The real deal of 5800 is not its screen,its amazing sound output just blows you off.I was really amazed how such tiny speakers could make such a brilliant sound.But the camera sucks,no matter what i click they always appear grainy.

----->Forget about all the reviews,doubts etc etc if you have 20K to spend on a mobile,go get yourself the 5800,its the best phone(cost and features) at that price.

Hey i've never said that there is any problem with the 5800's jack.I said the problem was with the previous iphone(not 3G) and 2G iTouch's jack,not 5800's.Anyway the mass storage mode of 5800 is full of bugs,it keeps asking for chkdsk everytime i open any folder in the mem card.

I guess it doesn't make any difference.I suggest,get it from mobilestore atleast you can expect some discount/offers.

1) I bought it yesterday for 18.5k, no idea about price drops

2) Quality is excellent when playing back thru headphones and with clear highs and overall response i felt the difference even more as compared to N70 which i was using till now.

3) Speakers are Stereo and widely placed so u can feel the stereo effect even in loudspeaker mode.
Also handling is quite good though at 100% volume slight distortion may creep in in certain songs but as i said most of them play very nicely. keep volume at 80-90% and u have very good quality and loud music. You will never feel the need for EXTRA SPEAKERS.

4) Internet surfing is is also very good and for ur info it supports flash so u can directly view youtube videos using the standard website(i.e no youtube mobile necessary).

5)There are basically 4 input modes.
- In Full-Screen QWERTY mode the keys are quite big and pose no problem in typing using hand.

- In mini-qwerty key board u may feel the keys are small and few mis-types may occur.
But with 1-2 days use u get used to it or better use stylus in that mode.

- The handwriting mode is also quite good and accurate. In addition u may train it as per ur needs

- The alpha numeric mode presents a standard keypad feel and is very nice.

it is not available for india product codes thru NSU or OTA. The only way to get it now is by changing your product code to generic Uk code.But will post as soon as it is available.

Click to expand...

you dont need any external speakers because it itself has vry loud spkrs ..... unless of course if u can connect if u r connecting with an expensive home theatre or sumthin .... lik i hv sony DZ-270 home theatre .... and the sound that comes out after connecting 5800 (thru its 3.5 mm jack) is awesome !!!
