Well the best phone according to me in this range is LG Optimus One P500. It lacks camera flash.
And people who WANT Camera Flash very very baly get a Samsung Galaxy Fit.
1. Dell XCD35 ---> 3.5" screen, good internal, good community support.
2. LG Optimus One P500 ---> ok with 3.2" screen, good internal, good community support, want Nokia type battery life (this is impossible with Android but close).
3. Samsung Galaxy Pro ---> want touch&type but not Symbian.
4. Nokia C5-03 ---> want Nokia only (fanboy)
5. Samsung Galaxy 551 ---> big screen, Android & a big keyboard.
6. Nokia E5 ---> trusted business phone with lots of useful features. but without touchscreen.
1.I wanted to buy the Dell XCD35. I will mainly use it for Texting, browsing, watching some vids, 3 hours of music, 24x7 EDGE, Few games like angry birds and asphalt when der is no power in house. A couple of hours of Wifi(2-3 days a week)
2.Does the new stock of Dell XCD35 ships with 512mb ram and 2.2?
3.Is it easy and safe to put cm7 2.3.4 ROM? And will it increase the battery life without damaging the Processor? And will the UI become fast and responsive?
1. Budget? 7K(max) less if possible
2. Display type and size? no preference
3. Form Factor? bar, slider, flip? bar, may consider others depending on the product
4. Preferred choice of brand? no preference if product is good but not from micromax, spice, iball please
5. Preferred input method (QWERTY, touchscreen, numpad, touch-n-type) no touch and type, others will do but inclined to touchscreen
6. What camera option you want? Please specify need for flash, autofocus, front facing camera. no preference as will be used rarely
7. Preferred operating system? (Android, Symbian, iOS, Windows Phone etc). android if possible no good android found in that budget, so i think i need to go for symbian
8. Preferred connectivity options (3G, Wifi etc)Please specify clearly. no preference
9. Preferred applications (Flash, Swype, GPS, etc)? NA
10. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, mails, internet, gaming etc)? mainly calls, texting and listening music
11. Any specific mobile phones in consideration? not yet
12. Any other info that you want to share good audio output during calls and music is an important factor
1. Dell XCD35's only problem is its small battery.
2. yes Android2.2 but about ram, ask comp@ddict. acc to him XCD35 comes with 512Mb ram.
3. if you follow the steps correctly, most likely everything should go fine. but remember there is always risk involved.
^^ usually mobile will get stuck at the first screen or refuse to boot. happened to me around 4-5 times on my optimus one. can't say about XCD35 but usually reinstalling rom solves the problem.
Some ppl are saying that XCD35 is of noo good... get O1... but i have seen that PPl say O1 doesnt proved crisp text in web browsers and its for GAMING only!!!

What should i do?
i have already listed the features of XCD35. so if you are happy with what it provides over O1, get it else Optimus One.
whoever told that meant the complete opposite for sure.
O1 provides good readable text in opera mini as well as stock browser. i browse the forum most of the time from mobile only.
& about gaming, O1 lags a lot during physics heavy games like angry birds. custom rom, overclock, etc nothing helps here. same should be true for XCD35 as both uses basically the same chipset (same processor, GPU, ram). but other games run just fine.
They thing is i will most probably wont play games... even if i do i like the paper throw thing... and angry birds lags in my frnds ACE also... so doesnt matter as i havent even finished it in PC
Had posted same query in other form and their a guy who was a previous owner of Dell said it heats when calling and chargin... is that true? or is it only for older models? Can anyone shed some light?
I cant get a hands on where i live(dharwad, karnataka) Der is no Dell showroom for cell phones.. only lappys and PC's so plz.... help me i dont want to regret my decision for the rest of my life.
Guys, if you wanna buy Optimus One, I think you may want to wait a few days for the newer model - Optimus Net. It is already out in the UK.

It has the same chipset overclocked to 800MHz, but double the RAM!
it'll be priced 12-13k for sure as it bundles some unnecessary extra features.
& Optimus One packs the same amount of ram as Net i.e. 512Mb.
Net seems to be good as its got 800Mhz processor... so 12k should be a fair price
200Mhz bump on a slow processor won't bring much of an improvement. instead pack features that we can readily see. better cam or camera flash. something that can make it go headon against wildfire s.

i just wish that LG doesn't act like a stupid & discontinue O1.
