Interesting article, good explanation on the disadvantages of resistive screens.

@saurabh_g: For that budget you can look at HTC Wildfire

mmm. it is pretty much understood that android is not as open as google claims it to be.

it is not as open as linux or ubuntu.

the source code is available. you can download it. you can compile it. you can change it to run it on your own choice of device.

but google controls the official build. you cannot download 3.0 previews for example. android 2.3 source was only released when google made it official.

also from what i heard. you can contribute patches and updates and whatever. but google controls what gets accepted (i assume this is similar to official Linux Kernel).

i am selling my N1 for around the same price (it's an awesome deal as it includes the official dock!).

Pricewise and featurewise Android phones don't match up to the offerings by Nokia. The hardware you'll get from an 18-19k Android, you can easily get from a much cheaper Nokia. Also, android isn't very resource efficient as an OS so the battery life is pretty bad. I'd suggest you should check out Nokia C6-01 or C7. The latest Symbian^3 based offerings come with top notch hardware for a pretty decent price.

kidding right? Nokia has only one decently priced smartphone in the market right now. that is the N8. and that too just because it has a fantastic 12MP camera for a price tag below Rs. 24-25K. nokia has software related issues. symbian might be popular and all but it is not the best smartphone platform when it comes to third party applications. if you want to enjoy all the cool offerings available to mobile users, android and iOS are the platforms to go for.
