Re: Mobile Buying Guide: May 2013

LOL. Well that device can run ics (ported).

It's a really beautiful device tbh. If you like it, what are you waiting for?

No way am I running android OSes on that phone. At the most I'll run Nemo or Sailfish on it, but that won't happen anytime soon, and maybe never if stock MeeGo is good enough

I'm gonna buy it as soon as my father allows me. I'm also waiting for the Jolla announcement and the new Firefox OS dev phones to return in stock. I might get a sailfish device or a Firefox OS device instead of the N9

at least for now, AMD won't support Android. Simply because they are no match for Qualcomm. Even Intel is not able take any ground away from ARM army. AMD has no chance.

But AMD is already making SOCs with compatibility for android...I heard of their deals with ARM Holdings..

Secondly Intel couldn't set foot in mobile computing because the dynamics of the game are pretty different in mobile computing, its a collaborative effort where companies do share technology, with ARM Holdings licensing its technology to manufacturers like Qualcomm, broadcomm to design their own chips, while Intel is more of a solitary worker. But given Intel's credentials in chip making industry and the financial muscle it has things are likely to change

servers only. not mobiles.

Intel’s Silvermont Architecture Revealed: Getting Serious About Mobile this may change everything. and this time price won't matter. we already have seen flagship break the 45k barrier so if 5k is the cost of the chipset itself (because Intel demands ~!100$ for previous gen Atom), this will sell because of the sheer performance over ARM. Will have to check how soon can Intel push these chips out their FABs. add to that R&D on a mobile/tab takes almost a year so time is on ARMs side.

Q700 is a sub 10k mobile. And you are getting way more for the money with Q700. Q700 is basically Q800 with a 5MP camera.

Re: Mobile Buying Guide: May 2013

I'm looking for a mobile with good display ( 480 x 800) and FM. Budget is 13000/-
Can anyone please recommend me one. I love Nokia Lumia 520 620 but there is no FM. Sony Xperia models does not have xpendable memory. Which one are you guys recommend?

 

[coderunknown]

Re: Mobile Buying Guide: May 2013

^^ check Samsung Galaxy S Advanced. Sells for 14k but try some random coupon codes if you buy from Indiatimes or wait for superdeals at HomeShop18. That way you'll get it without having to increase your budget.
