missing SD card slot is ok if inbuilt memory is of 16-20Gb but with only 8Gb memory, this is not advised. seriously, only VFM Windows Phone7 mobile & that too without a slot

It's more due to the way that WP7 handles an SD card. Remember those OS crashes and data loss that used to happen when users swap or remove SD card? I recently reviewed HD7 but that had SD card glued to the socket.

Your avatar says that you are an Android Fan. But still you seem to be suggesting a Windows 7 phone.. Strange!

There is a difference between being a fan a fanboy

Thank you all for your replies

The Galaxy S i9000's GPS issues seem to be a hardware problem so it cannot be repaired by any firmware or custom roms
As i travel a lot GPS is absolutely necessary for me!

So decided to go for the Nexus S leaving the Gorilla Glass of i9000..But while researching I seemed to come across problems regarding the Nexus S's proximity sensor problem leading to black unresponsive screen during and after calling!
Can anyone explain this/ Is this corrected in any software update??..Plz reply!

Solving GPS no-fix problem on Samsung Galaxy S i9000

Does this fix the Galaxy i9000's GPS problems??

that is because people are not really aware of it's potential. By looking at the price, many think that it is a mid specced phone when infact, it can give most sub 25k droids a run for money.

ok.u mean nexus s 9023 (samsung website lists its price as around 25k)..if u have noticed i'v myself asked ques in one of the forums abt "desire s or galaxy s".,and fellas helped me out(including u). but there was no discussion on nexus s there( of course it was never called for there).but wat is ur say on nexus s or desire s or galaxy s. i wud really appreciate a detailed , unbiased view on this. hope to hear from u soon.

nope. it might make it slightly better but still, the GPS performance cannot be compared to other droids.

I think those came up during 2.3.3 upgrade. From what I heard, N:S does have better GPS performance. Regarding proximity sensor issues, didn't hear much about this issue. Post at XDA forum's N:S page asking for update on this. and btw, how comfortable are you with Nokia's devices. When it comes to maps, nothing beats Ovi navigation. it's more detailed and it's offline maps.

Nokia and Microsoft are having an event in three weeks time. We might expect Nokia bringing out WP7 devices with Ovi maps apps in it. Just a thought.

yes. N:S's current price of 19.9k makes it totally VFM device, not to forget that it has the same h/w that most single core top end droids have.

What exactly will you be using your phone for. based on that, I shall suggest you a phone.

well i'v been thinking abt galaxy s or desire s as previously told. i'l using it for reading, music and very rarely movies. i generally dont carry a digi cam so wil be using the phone camera here and there, not very frequently though. and usual stuff. and at times internet access. basically a decent all round phone. and one i buy now, i;l keep it til 2 yrs or more if everything goes well.
i guess thats it.

 

[abhi615]

and i;m not into rooting.

I would suggest Nexus S for this budget. You can get it for 18k for the least.

First a drastic decrease in the prices... and now no stock in both Flipkart and Letsbuy...

Was it intentional by Samsung ? Or just high demand ?
