Which one to buy Desire/Droid x/Galaxy s ? - Page 2

sreehari199 · 06-09-2010, 12:36 AM

I registered to the forum, just after finding this link. I am looking for Droid X. Didn't find the any information regarding the availability in India.

It is developed only for Verison customers in US. It become a revolution. The demand/request for the phone is so high outside US, so Motorola might think about the GSM version.

Motorola Milestone XT720 is almost similar to Droid X, except the design, apps and the 4.3" display.

Below are the only negative points for Droid X (just my opinion)
1. No 3G front cam.
2. Camera is average (Not bad/Needs improvement)

Apart from this, I believe HTC Evo is good. But not available in India.

Keep this forum updates, if any info regarding Droid GSM in India is available.

Desire lacks WCMDA hardware and no active noise cancellation hardware but if I remember correctly desire has BT 2.1+EDR which N1 has 2.0+EDR.

I wouldn't suggest buying USA CDMA phones for use in India. Most of the features will be left useless. Instead wait for Desire HD and Milestone 2.

I personally wouldn't go for any Motorola android phones.. Motorola has heavily locked all its phones!

As far as my knowledge goes CDMA phones in the US are without any SIM card slot (remember old RIL <karlo duniya muthi mein>

phones) i.e. they are tied to the carrier. So any thought of using DroidX goes out of the window.

has any one had bad experience with samsung fone ?

sreehari199 · 06-09-2010, 05:24 PM

Yes, I have faced many issues with Samsung phones. It might have cutting edge technology and features. Will face issues with basic things.

Motorola is one the best, but in India the sales and services in not up to the mark. I am just looking at milestone XT720, but waiting for Droid X.

Nexus One, HTC Desire HD and HTC Evo are also good.

Below are some news which will give some hope about Droid X.

We have to just unlock Droid X like iPhones from US. Droid X which they are planning to release in India could be GSM. Don't know whether it will be available only through providers likes Airtel/Vodafone. Lets wait and see....

Desire supports 3G, so it should work with MTNL.

After soo many googling I got information that Droid 2 and Droid X GSM version will be released in countries apart from US. As the name Droid is from Verizon (US), it will be Milestone 2 and Milestone X respectively outside US. Also Android 2.2 Froyo will be available in both phones. They will be lauched in Q4 2010 in Europe and India. First to be released is Milestone 2 and then Milestone X. I think they will be available in the festival season in India (Between Deepavali and X'mas) Nov-Dec. They have to just release the GSM version. It will be available in India through gray market.

I have also found one Droid X (Verizon/US) for sale in India (Mumbai) for 29K. It is unlocked, so can use Reliance connection (1X data, confirmed by the seller).

For me the best policy is to wait till the year end. As you have only 45 days, getting any Android phone with 1Ghz CPU will be the best option. You are right, Desire is the best option; if you don't want to buy from gray market and cannot wait until the year end.
