    Help Buying New Phone

    Hello,

    I need some guidance purchasing a new single sim phone. I need a phone that i can install whatsapp on. Has to be from one of the following brands - Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung and Micromax. Also the phone needs to be under 10K. A 5MP camera with flash prefered but not necessary. Qwerty keyboard and touch are also optional. I do need decent battery life and the phone should not give me problems. I use the phone for the following - Making calls, Sending SMS, Whatsapp/Chat, Internet Surfing, Listening to music and occasional photography. Please let me know of any good options available in the market.

    Regards,
    StirrreDz

    Best one is Xperia Mini Pro if you can buy it from ebay.
    Why ? It has QWERTY ,5 mp camera +flash .
    Basically everything you need is there and 98 % you won't need the warranty and there will be dealers warranty (you have to send the phone to the seller and they will fix it for you)
    Otherwise there is HTC explorer. But it doesn't have 5Mp camera and stuff

    If you can raise your budget 1k more then get Sony Ericsson Live.

    Curious to know why you keep suggesting that? I said Mini Pro because he would consider the QWERTY as a bonus while LWW and Mini Pro have the same specs


    HIT thanks/like/+ 1/or up my rep if you find my post useful, funny or anything :P

    Ebay guys give you Dealer warranty which is not equivalent to real warranty = no after sales service.
