Under 21000/- Android phone

[Soumik]

Galaxy SL - Huh? No way now.
Optimus Black - Suddenly a really good looking phone with a novelty in its Nova Display. Same hardware as Galaxy SL, but recommended quite over it.
Nexus S - Very high VFM device. USP - Nexus device. Hummingbird chipset still rocks!!!
Galaxy S - Same as Nexus S with Super Amoled Display as USP, making it slightly costlier. Again, Hummingbird still rocks!!!
Desire S - Upgraded Desire. Great UI, great built, great design. Bother points - costlier than the above with very similar, slightly lower than hummingbird chipset. Slightly smaller screen than the competition at this price range.
X10 - too old to consider.
XT720 - Huh? Doesnt compare with the competition with its internals.

I am too Confused with Nexus S i9023 & Samsung Galaxy S i9000.

Nexus S i9023 Price: 18,990 ( After Discount from letsbuy.com)
(+ve)
Faster Android Updates
NFC (Will NFC Payments be available in india for next 3 yrs?)
Flash (Do we really require this in Day to day life?)
Three-axis gyro sensor
Flash Player v10.1 (Dose i9000 has this?)

Samsung Galaxy S i9000 Price: 21,690 (Ebay Deal off the week)
(+ve)
Super AMOLED Screen
Expandable Memory
720p Video Recording

Price Diff of 2700/- Which one should i buy???

Which Screen is Better SC-LCD or Super Amoled??

 

[AndroidFan]

^^^ SuperAmoled screen is better.

Get the original Galaxy S i9000... Then root it and install Cyanogenmod 7 for super-awesome performance...

Cheers!

Go for Nexus S if screen(SAMOLED) doesn't matter to you. Else go for SGS.

I haven't seen both the Cell's yet...as they are available only on Orders. Based on your exp. kindly suggest me which one is better (SC-LCD or Super Amoled).

I am more incline towards i9000 bcoz of Developers support. I am worried about the Flash Player(Can we install this on SGS?), NFC and Three-axis gyro sensor!! are this really needed???

Or else Can we expect a Price drop from SGS2 in Next 2 months??

I'll be visiting Bengaluru next week...Where Can i see the both this cell side by side??

SC-LCD for text and ebook reading and S-AMOLED everything else.

NFC: meh. it will take ages to see NFC in use in India.
3-axis: definitely useful in gaming and will be great fun to use.
Flash: battery sucking ****!

not much but there could be a price drop and the best place to buy is online using coupon codes.

I was talking about the Forum Mall in Koramangala.

The Forum

Go to Samsung exclusive showroom in there. Their pricing is good and you should be able to get a hands on on these phones.

@desiibond: Today, I was able to See HTC Desire S in Goa....the Sense UI is too good as compared to Samsung Touch UI.

Now, I am Daam Confused with following choice's :
Samsung Galaxy S
Nexus S
HTC Desire S
HTC Incredible S

The Showroom guy says, Go for HTC Desire S or Incredible S as they are quite reliable cells. He says most Samsung has PCB and some Digitizer issue ...he was referring to the touch screen thing. He being a Dealer for Samsung and Nokia..He suggests me to buy HTC..He has shown me his Personal Cell thats Desire S.

Kindly help me...as i don't have much knowledge abt Touch screen mobiles. This will be my 1st Cell other then Nokia!..Currently using E71!

 

[aroraanant]

if u can increase ur budget then I would suggest u to go for Incredible S another go for Desire S.I would not suggest you Nexus S coz it lacks many features...

 

[ssb1551]

^^How is Desire S better than Nexus S??All the features are same except for a 4" screen(Nexus S) as compared to 3.7" of Desire S!!If anything Nexus S is better than Desire S...

 

[aroraanant]

^^^^
Nexus S dont even have a FM radio and Desire S has a better video recorder and better RAM and many other differences are there

 

[SwiftLover]

I guess Incredible S comes with 2.2 ver rt? Are there Custom mods available for Incredible S? Whats the Internal memory for Incredible S as i have read somewhere that the Android application installs only on Internal memory.

Pls Confirm.

 

[aroraanant]

^^^^
I personally own Incredible S and it has got an official update of android 2.3.3.
Its internal memory is 1.1GB.
And the applications can be installed on memory card also,it is not must that u need to install them on internal memory only
