Yup>>> For a budget of 8K you can try for a smartphone.

I suggest micromax A60 around 6-7K!
In samsung, try Galaxy Fit for 9-10K

i hope this would do, wanna some more catch up with me!

tech2.in - Spice MI310
TechTree.com - Micromax A70

If TechTree.com is right, I'd say - better go for A70.
But its hard to believe a phone equiped with 5MP camera and a VGA secondary camera to be priced within 8k.

Guyz I suggest him Galaxy fit but I don't know why he didn't liked the phone and he says that it is slightly out of the budget.
And he is saying a big no to micromax,spice etc,and even I m also not in a favour of it.

is there any other good phone without android costing approx 7.5 or 8K max?

 

[NainO]

My suggestions are just as same as yours

Any specific mobile phones in consideration?
nokia x3-o2,samsung monte

Cheaper Android mobiles give a sup-par experience. You must force your friend to stretch the budget and get the LG Optimus One, because it has a better screen resolution than Galaxy Fit, which is important to run a lot of apps and games.

Screen resolution is a very important part of the overall experience...

Your friend says no to Spice, or would have recommended Spice Mi-310. A decent phone with good resolution for 7.3k.

One more thing is there that O1 is not good in terms of look also so which also big aspect.

If you can extend your budget to mere 800bucks you can buy the LG Optimus one from letbuy for 8.7k after applying discount.

Nokia C5 (around 7.5k), C5-03(around 9k) are good symbian alternatives...infact too good!

Finally my friend is now ready to increase his budget.
But we are very confused between O1 and wildfire and we have another option in our mind which is galaxy 3.
The price which we are getting after applying coupon is:
O1-8455
wildfire-9750
galaxy 3-10250
I know u guys say that o1 is the best but wildfire is also very good.
Now please suggest as we are not able to decide
