Buying a Mobile: Samsung Galaxy or Nokia?

[mreccentric]

I want to buy a new mobile and my budget is within Rs.8,000 . Just surfing on the internet about these touchscreen mobiles, latest ones. I found that there was a separate section for smartphones, i believe all these touchscreen phones are smartphones. Am i RIGHT? Initially i used to like Nokia Touchscreens like 5322 (Xpress) Music variety. (Symbian vs Android)Well, coming back to topic. My preferences are here:* Wifi enabled phone.* Android Yes/No - Both Works, i'll better go for Android.* Single SIM* 3G Yes/No - Both Works* Budget within Rs.8,000

S 3 / S III, how much are they?I kind of hate dual sim mobiles nowadays.

one issue is the support for these phones... whether its technical support (at service center) or app support by google play...

Again could be an issue with devices a year older, I am reading things are better now. How much better is a different issue altogether.

I kind of hate dual sim mobiles nowadays.

I bought it at 34K (timtara had an offer back then).. it around the same price now on different websites...

You are right about filters. But basically after those choices you mentioned. You just have Galaxy Y & Galaxy Pocket to choose from realistically.

Galaxy Pocket : Has internal 3 GB space, is 2.8" , better standby timeGalaxy Y : Has internal only 160 MB space, is 3" (Flipkart is giving 8 GB extra memory card, not sure about others)Apart from these.. Not much difference I feel, costwise its 700-800 difference, Galaxy Y seems costlier.
