Lol true, WP failed to get good dev support
+1 for Gionee Elife E5 (wth indians consider Gionee as crap brand)
Windows Phones arent laggy because there is no app available for them which will cause the lags

Re: Mobile Buying Guide
So Xperia M Dual is better in terms of dev support compared to Nokia 620 right. I mean even in performance & battery backup if Xperia M Dual is better then I will surely go for it. Please advise in this regard.

Re: Mobile Buying Guide
go for XL as it is available for 15-16k. limited internal memory in case of M Dual won't help. Also Mediatek has same chipset with different config (look for M, T as suffix) with varying level of gaming performance.
there is nothing like DEV support in WP. You get timely update for the current OS (WP8) but chance or getting WP9 whenever it gets launched is basically nil. With Android, even a last gen Nexus can't dream of timely updates but if your mobile has a good base with hardworking DEVs, you'll get OS update for anything like 2yr or more irrespective of how weak the hardware is.
first priority for Gionee is after sale service. If they follow HTC's footstep of outsourcing the service to a 3rd party, they are asking for trouble.

If you don't care about custom roms and after sales services, then MMX canvas is much better than XL.
else go for Xperia L.

Re: Mobile Buying Guide
Go for xperia L...
Just avoid MMX it is crap and piece of sh!t....
If you can then why not grab a good, branded, reliable phone.
MMX after sales service is just ZERO(and yes, you will surely face problems in 6months)

Re: Mobile Buying Guide
Let me know how this Gionee fares. I've known this for some time but don't really have anyone around me using it. Post your review, especially the after sales support

Re: Mobile Buying Guide
Hi Sam, I am looking for an Android in 7-11k range , 4-4.3 screen and good camera. I have narrowed down to following choices based on your guide : (Also mentioned my doubts with each option)
1) Xperia M : Heard of not good camera. Is the camera that bad?
2) Panasonic T11 : Configuration looks good , but afraid of the new entrant Panasonic and its A.S.S.
3) Xolo Q700 : Has 4.5' screen which putting me off.
Please suggest your idea and also suggest if there is any other phone apart from this. Thanks
