HTC Legend!

If camera is ur 1st priority then just get Vivaz...its cam is just superb

It have Symbian OS on which u can install all useful applications and games

Due to continuous focusing in video its video quality is much better

[the_souvik]

nokia n97 mini ... will serve your purpose also saves u 5000 bucks.

Why on earth you want to buy a phone for 24k while camera is your priority.Buy a 3-4k phone and use the 20k for a good pro zoomer.

Totally agree. Even Samsung wave and an 8k Point-and-Shoot digicam will be much better

[sujoyp]

naah u cant carry 2 devices everywhere...

If u really want good mobile cam Vivaz is good..

Check sony ericsson vivaz - Flickr: Search


U can get a separate cam later if u need it

actually the thing is i dont want to carry 2 gadgets wid me all the time..and snapping moments can come any time..i dont want to waste my time looking for my digi cam..

n-97 and n-97 mini are too bulky and plus n-97 mini has 5mp only..if i'll be settling with 5mp only then i'll think of going with x-10mini or mini pro or may be samsung wave..they are better i think..

btw thanx for ur suggestions..

welcome. and yes, like sujoy said, for camera, nothing beats Vivaz. do post some pics and a review once you get it.

Great...post a small review after u get it

[ajayashish]

I saw a thread in this forum where someone was saying that u can get N800 for 22000... try to search and it will be a great buy

[gagan007]

it is N900 dude...N800 is actually not a phone but Internet tablet...

the link for that thread is:

N8 have good cam but its not reviewed yet and its OS is still untested...

Never get a new OS in 1st 2nd month...it will have lots of bugs

[gagan007]

but Symbian^3 is open source...there shouldn't be any issues with getting patches/updates/alternate ROMs...

Yaah but as u can see within a year android changed soo much...from 1.6 to 2.2
Same thing happened with S60v5 5800 with firmware upgrades coming from v20-v50..

And also happened with Apple OS

At least wait for the reviews of N8...

I even hear symbian^4 comming

[dreamcatcher]

Anything but a symbian phone.

umm. vivaz and satio are both Symbian phones. the OPs priority is camera so these two make most sense.

[dreamcatcher]

You think I dint know that(about vivaz and satio being symbian)??. I owned the satio and i heavily detest the purchase of any symbian phone till S^4 arrives. But if you have to have Symbian, get the vivaz. The fastest symbian phone I have used. A NO to the satio. Wait for SEs 12 mp android phone later in the year.

ya sure i will ..but is vivaz's camera good or satio's?? i've also heard that it hangs sometimes...

[dreamcatcher]

The satio has a better camera but dont fall for the MP race. 8 mp is more than enough. The Vivaz has continuous autofocussing which works great.

okay..vivaz it is then....i wasnt going for MP race..its just that when i talked to different sellers they all suggested me to go for satio not vivaz..and they dont have a big diff in their mrp also...so i was wondering why..

i too was waiting for that but xperia x10 is out of my budget so i thought 12MP will be way out of my league on its arrival..and plus we are talking about SE..and they dont make cheap products or products which stays in market till their cost is reduced to less then the half or the time when they were launched..i think we all have discussed enough now..and i should final vivaz now ..thankx again for all your help ..

what about aino guys???iss that set good too???

[dreamcatcher]

Do you have a ps3? If not, no point in getting the Aino. Trust me, the Vivaz will suffice. Dont go for non-smartphones since SE are quietly but surely moving away from them. Oh yes, i have had the aino too.

WHOA...how many sets have you used till now..this is my 5th handset,and first one that i'am gonna buy from my own money.. thats why i'am putting so much thoughts in it.. ..

[yogi7272]

If you are in a hurry, then get Vivaz. Or N8 will be available around late september.

Also the option suggested by @desiibond - Wave + p&s camera is not a bad idea. Wave has very good 5mp cam with powerful single powerled flash which btw is stronger than the single led flash of Vivaz. Its 720p video recording is just excellent as well though it lacks that continuous auto focus feature of Vivaz. Dont know how useful is that feature in real world usage. As I have found my Wave to focus on close objects perfectly in video recording mode. Maybe Vivaz can go a cm or two closer but then its not that important for me.

Here is a recent review of Vivaz - http://www.mobile-review.com/review/...z-u5i-en.shtml

Think about it and take a wise decision
