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

Galaxy Pocket : Has internal 3 GB space, is 2.8" , better standby time
Galaxy 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.

...i've added another one to the list...
Samsung Galaxy Y Color Plus S5360: Price in India, Reviews, Specification: Flipkart.com

3 GB internal memory is better one... also better stand by time.

Galaxy Y color plus is same as Galaxy Y with 4 replaceable back panels, if you like showing different colors around, then you can get this for another 700-800 on top of the Galaxy Y.

how are they different from the above under-10k phones?
that list of under-10k phones is huge... i'll get to many options there!

First the biggest difference is the price

And then The quality varies... Whether its touch, camera, battery back-up, UI... They are on a different level... and S3 had a few HD games I could download for free from app store.. not sure if it is still available...

pocket 5300 seems to be the only choice now... will go to sangeeta or univercell and check out other models nos in pocket variety.

Sangeeta or Univercell? or any other which you suggest....

I doubt they'll have a demo mobile for these phones

okay... this are the things... usually, i used to go buy some mobile and come back,... but today i learnt that buying mobile phones require some small research.

Well, if you know cars it would be like comparing Santro & BMW.. Well, that maybe too different... But the point remains, both can be used to be driven around the town. But what they provide different - comfort, size, build quality etc, would apply here as well...

Last time i visited, they had demo phones in Sangeeta. haven't bought anything from univercell yet.
They will have, but if they dont have demo, then i'm going to check the specs and buy one... if at all costs lesser than in flipkart.

Trust me you have to research a lot and after all the effort you may still not be sure that you are making the right decision...

Check 91mobiles.com for price.. they list out most of the websites in increasing order of price...

You can also check junglee.com to see best online offers. But get feedback of the dealer from the forum & elsewhere before you buy at that website.
