rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted February 24, 2012 I fear there is not a single handset from any of the branded manufacturer which can fulfill all your 7 requirements. You can either probe handsets like this >> http://www.ebay.in/itm/230738512233#ht_30769wt_1139 to check how much it's viable OR if you drop the slider QWERT keyboard part, can consider recently launched Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos >> http://www.flipkart.com/samsung-galaxy-y-pro-duos-b5512-mobile-phone/p/itmd6vvtcnt2wfkm?pid=MOBD6VVSUH6MYFXS&_l=hjGYWjnGJ+E4lIUIRL2THA--&_r=YT8yNV_31ZaFkwpxJCEaRg--&ref=1614baf0-42f4-4d1a-9c8e-e3541ab84101 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TechieGuy 1 Report post Posted February 24, 2012 If you can compromise for side slider and camera flash then Samsung Galaxy Y Pro could be the best option for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

city02 63 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 nope - the side slider and dual standby sim are must have requirements as mentioned above, i can give up on the touchscreen If you can compromise for side slider and camera flash then Samsung Galaxy Y Pro could be the best option for you.

You can see Nokia's proprietary app store - Ovi Store and icon of MyNokia among the icons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

city02 63 Report post Posted August 17, 2012 after 6 months of searching, i have shortlisted the samsung galaxy y pro duos it has dual sim, qwerty, touchscreen, 3mp camera, andriod but no flash or slider for around rs. 9.5 k is there anything else that's either cheaper or with slider at the same price out there i just don't like spending rs. 10 k on a handset since my current one was half the cost [b3210 corby txt] am i missing any handset out there? i was told that it has 2,000 sms capacity compared to just 1,000 sms on my current b3210 ironically the memory card has 19 mb free yet there is no way to copy or archive my sms to the card! what a waste of space ... i could have easily used the corby for a few years more if i did not have to keep deleting sms every week @ city02 Check out the latest releases from Micromax in the Superfone series.

prafull4u 24 Report post Posted August 17, 2012 That phone is not worth spending 10K, i used it for 2 days and i used to get irritated by the small touch screen it has, as you have to use the touch screen most of the time. I will suggest get an Epic and a secondary cell..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmc251 73 Report post Posted August 17, 2012 epic is an good option... but i would suggest wait for some time... samsung launching a new handset with larger display touch + qwerty... specs... http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_chat_b5330-4866.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
city02 63 Report post Posted August 20, 2012 it seems like it has 2mp camera which my current samsung already has its also single sim so not much point any other options out by diwali? or does anyone know of any way to move my sms to the sd card in the b3210? epic is an good option... but i would suggest wait for some time... samsung launching a new handset with larger display touch + qwerty... specs... http://www.gsmarena...._b5330-4866.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
