Purchasing new mobile phone? Ask here.(prices on first page)

[xubz]

yeah - !! me too with that question .. how is wildfire, compared to optimus prime ;)

Wait for a month or so.

1GHz + 512MB RAM phones are getting cheaper (heck, the newly launched SE Xperia Mini Pro with QWERTY keyboard and those specs = 15k!)

So just wait for a month and get better phones at 13k.. 600Mhz CPU with crap GPU is way too underpowered for Android (laggity lag lag)

Can anyone help me choose between an old E52 which my friend is selling & Samsung Galaxy 3?
I had Nokia 5230 earlier which got stolen. So I have experienced touchscreens earlier. Touchscreens look good but over a period of time, sometimes are suspect to non-responsive zones in the screen plus when you are busy,you have to use both your eyes and hands to do anything on touchscreens. Both the phones are almost similar in specs. Before making final decision, I want to ask you guys if I am right in favoring E52 over Galaxy, though Galaxy is Android!

Your budget please? And at what price are you getting E52 for?
BTW Galaxy 3 is not worth getting now since it won't receive any further updates and doesn't do justice to Android OS because of its weak hardware!

I am getting E52 for 6.5K. Is it worth it?

^Seems good.
And have you checked the condition of the phone?
And does it satisfy your specific needs(if any)?

Then E52 won't disappoint you ;)
But have you checked the phone's condition?

[Alex Thomas]
