Reliable touchscreen phone for 5-6K

[raj_in]

My friend needs a touchscreen phone within 6k
i recommened the
star2
corby2
& wave 525
anything else he should look at??

[AndroidFan]

Samsung Star II is excellent at that price range... But if you can get Wave 525 @6k, then go for it...

[NainO]

Choose between - Star II and Wave 525.
Since both are full touchscreen, opt for the one with bigger screen (and portrait qwerty keypad - subjective) i.e. Wave 525.

Excluded Corby II cuz of its poor resolution and 2MP camera.

[pulkitpopli2004]

do both have capacitive touchscreen?

[NainO]

Not both, all three of them have capacitive touchscreen!!!

[pulkitpopli2004]

^^ i was talkin abt the 2 options that you suggested..
bt apart from these 2.. IMO nokia 5233 also has more reliable touchscreen even it has resistive one.

[raj_in]

actually she is a girl & wants a colourful phone doesnt like the same black look thats why the corby 2 was is the list
& other options from other companies

[kevz22]

Well the nokia 5233 is the best phone sub 6.5k....firstly its a smartphone n the resistive touchscreen is one of the best resistive units in business....so I would strongly reccomend you to go with the npkia 5233...just remember to buy a good third party headset though...

[AndroidFan]

Nokia 5233 with SPB Shell is excellent... The only downside is no Wifi...

[raj_in]

she is nt tht intersted in 3rd party apps & modding

[aroraanant]

go for wave...its a nice phone
it is a very good phone in that budget

[pulkitpopli2004]

nokia 5233 is best among above IMO whether interested in 3rd party apps or not.. bt touch quality is very reliable.

[akshayt]

If you can increase your budget a bit then you can get Dell XCD28 for 7300 from Flipkart.com which has 3G + Android + Touch screen.

[Tenida]

I am using Nokia 5233.Yes it has very responsive touch screen even its resistive in nature.

[sidramalik100]

you need to buy nokia mobile phone which are the best for this purpose and they are also reliable

[aroraanant]

Or u can also go for Monte...

so whats ur final decision samsung or nokia

[aroraanant]

obviously samsung...
now i would suggest u to go to ur nearest dealer and have a look at all the shortlisted handsets and pick the one u like the most..
If i would be at ur place I would have picked Monte and 2nd option would be Wave

[raj_in]

only thing with monte is it doesnt hv a virtual qwerty & its old now
it would be probably be the star II
or maybe wave if can extend the budget

[ujjwal321]

for that range i would suggest nokia 5233...
resistive screen in 5233 is not bad at all..
for that price you are getting a smartphone with access to quite a lot of appliations via ovi store..

[Soumik]

I would say ditch Nokia. For a girl, get the white Star II, or Corby II. Both have good responsive touchscreens and look good. Or if can find it somewhere, get, the Wave 525 with La Fleur edition colors. Really good option.

completly agreed with u bro
& ahve ditched the corby II also bcz it doesnt hv a virtual QWERTY
any idea where to where to find Wave 525 with La Fleur edition colors
has it launched in india???

[raj_in]

Any idea if the Wave 525 with La Fleur edition colors available in india

[Soumik]

Sorry, but i dont have any idea. Its not available online, but hopefully u can get it in India. Just go to the best Samsung showroom near your place and ask them to ship it in. They should be able to do so.

I checked DELL xcd28 review ,looks like camera is bad and disapponting .

If anyone used it here please let me know your experience.

LGT325 looks good but what about battery backup , is it ok or less time than samsung ,any experience with LG mobiles.
