nikhilph 1 Report post Posted February 7, 2012 Hi friends, Thanks for loads of wonderful information on this site. I am on reliance CDMA and looking for a new smartphone. Currently I am using verizon blackberry 8330 bought from Dr. Muffadal. ' Ideally, a good tablet with voice-calling is what I prefer - so that I can work on it while I talk (bluetooth). None found so far. Best handset I have figured is Samsung Galaxy Touch S2 Epic 4G. But unfortunately it is exceeding my budget (~20K). Is there any phone that is next best thing to this one - in the given budget? Or shall I wait a bit and go for this phone only? -- Regards, Nik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karthik R 246 Report post Posted February 7, 2012 Speculation is rampant that the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S 3 will make its debut in the coming months. Of course, it will be priced way beyond your budget. But one can expect a sharp drop in the older S 2's price to follow. So my suggestion - wait a little more and go in for S 2 itself.

nikhilph 1 Report post Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks a lot for replies. I think I should wait for S2 price drop. Seems to be a better option for me. I don't think waiting for a tablet with voice will be a wise decision. or will it be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karthik R 246 Report post Posted February 8, 2012 ^ ^ ^ Photon = Best Global phone available now. Since he isn't looking for global capabilities it was not suggested. And S 2 blows away Photon in almost every department. I can say this for certain, as I am using both Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikhilph 1 Report post Posted February 9, 2012 Karthik.. your post has made me want the E4GT all the more. I think I will raise the budget a bit and go for it. HiteshK has already convinced me to raise the budget. I'll buy from him. So finally Epic Touch it is. Thanks a lot friends for all your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just incase he wants to go for a phone now rather wait another 6 to 8 months for the S3 launch. Tapatalk'd from Photon4G Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted February 9, 2012 ^^^^^^ Why Parin ji? can you explain?? On-Topic:- For the time being, Photon is in his budget and he can go for it, imho... @nikhilph if you never change phone for many months, you can wait for drop in s2 price, else use Photon as stop-gap for 3 to 6 months and get s2 at very cheap...
