Oh! and is it true that Samsung Galaxy i7500 is gettin Android 2.1, is it worth it then? and is it available?

 

[dreamcatcher]

And you also have the X8 coming up which has a much higher resolution than any of the phones you have mentioned. Oh, and if anyones complaining, it comes with 2.1.

 

[ankushkool]

when is it launching? and at what price.... YouTube - Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 Preview it looks really good dont think it will be below 15k!!!

Go for Galaxy 3 i5801 without any 2nd thought..
It is same as spica (almost) !!

 

[ankushkool]

quite a diff.... much lower resolution n processor speed... also smaller screen why why didnt i just buy Spica :'(

will have to go for i5801 if there is no other option!

 

[sujoyp]

Right now i5800 is the best choice...

Only if SE X8 launches soon in this budget...It can beat them all

 

[desiibond]

are these phones out in the market now?

You can go for either Wildfire or Galaxy 3. I would not recommend other phone in the list.
You get better camera with Wildfire - 5 MP, Internal memory is more and similarly small small issues.
But then Galaxy 3 is priced lower than Wildfire.
- Do not Cry for Spica, It would never get Android 2.2 update, which will soon be available for both these phones.

Called up a Samsung dealer, he said these phones a still not available!
and divX support makes Galaxy 3 de 1st choice

Hi Gaurav!

Nice to see you here

 

[ankushkool]

Is any DivX player available for Wildfire?

why is samsung galaxy 5 not a good choice? It's got almost the same processor speed and I feel a much bigger screen size as the galaxy 3, it has wifi and 3g and it costs 3000 less. So why not a galaxy 5?

Galaxy 3:
240 x 400 pixels, 3.2 inches
Multi-touch input
3.15 MP cam with autofocus
667 MHz processor
MP4/DivX/XviD/WMV/H.264/H.263 player

Galaxy 5:
240 x 320 pixels, 2.8 inches
No Multi-touch inpu(not sure bout this)
2 MP cam with fixed focus
600 MHz processor
MP4/H.264/H.263 player

Definitely galaxy 3 is worth 3000/- more

2 MP cam with fixed focus

Definitely galaxy 3 is worth 3000/- more

the only significant diff is the camera. and regarding divx/wmv/ etc support isn't there any s/w available in android for them?

 

[dreamcatcher]

The X8 shall be priced at around 13k. Available first week of september.

 

[ankushkool]

will X8 have divX support?

 

[dreamcatcher]

Nopes. But you can always download rockplayer from the market which is a much better player anyway.
