if u want symbian...go for P1i
if u want windows mobile...go for HTC Touch....
btw i bought the HTC touch just last week and i gotta tell u that its a phone for people who want touch screen functionality + windows mobile features on a budget. dont expect it to do wonders. the sound quality isnt that good. the volume cranks very easily even on moderately high level. the videos dont look too sharp. although if encoded correctly (i use, 15FPS with MP4 video format and mp3 video format) they look pretty decent.
I repeat....go for HTC touch only if u need a touch screen + windows mobile.
i dont recommed G700 becos...1. personally i find it ugly looking and 2. no wi-fi.
HTC Touch
Asus P320
HTC P3300 (if u can extend budget to 17k)
I dont see any benefit in the HTC P3300 in comparison to HTC touch. the P3300 has a few more buttons at the bottom and a superb scroll wheel with a blue led'd OK button. in terms of functionality though....
1. P3300 is WM 5. Touch is WM 6
2. P3300 has 64 MB RAM, 128 MB ROM...the touch has 128 mb ram and 256 mb rom.
3. P3300 has GPS. Touch doesnt.
and the most important thing, the processor on both the devices is the same.
