Shantz Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Thankfully NO !! After loosing two, I would be thinking of buying a Rs1200 phone. (I'm still thinking that option if that would let me do active syncing with exchange) My basic requirement is push mails, east UI, google maps with GPS, active sync exchange accounts (contacts, calendar & emails), firmware upgrades to keep adding stuff. I dont care much about the camera resolution on the phone. If you don't want a lot of games or any iPhone specific apps, then Nexus S would be a good way to go (but you won't get it here, so have to import). Also, Google maps work best on Android.

shekdown Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Just got the Blackberry 7850 as my Storm conked off. I intend to fix that and use both now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Stryke Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) Since google maps is a top priority for you, BB can be crossed out. iPhone 4 or Nexus S. Check the email clients in both phones tho. I've read about some issues with MS Exchange on android. Not sure what tho. Btw, since its MS exchange active sync, I am assuming the server pushes your emails to your phone? Coz if it doesn't then BB is the way to go.

Solitaire Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Except ActiveSync (which I don't use, hence have no experience with) I'd say get a Nexus S imported somehow or go with the iPhone 4. You haven't stated whether you used to / will play a lot of iOS games or whether you used to / will use plenty of iOS specific apps though.

Also, Google maps work best on Android. Ah I just dont like playing games on a phone. However, playing movies count when i'm travelling.

Well I'm on google apps, which uses activesync for push mails and contacts/calendar syncs. With android it should not be a problem and shud be native.

You haven't stated whether you used to / will play a lot of iOS games or whether you used to / will use plenty of iOS specific apps though. Another thing I forgot to add, is I would love to have a good voip client, which after gingerbread should be native to android. So I think iphone is ruled out, SGS is available right now without gingerbread, or I can wait for nexus S, maybe samsung will start selling it too in india.

Death Stryke Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) iPhone isn't ruled out. All the things you mentioned is available on the iOS platform too. If you are using google apps, then you get push mail on either device. Plus there are voip apps on iOS as well. Then again, its your personal preference. I would suggest you take a look at email clients and calendars on both devices and see what works Edited December 11, 2010 by Death Stryke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRch-0n Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Alright so can any one tell me about the Blackberry 9650 and its availability in India and its cost ? Looked around and they say that the product doesnt exist, noob sellers http://in.blackberry.com/devices/blackberrybold/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For you though, a little present: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPZH4OysGZI I swear to god too many people are using BBs after that ad. Ive lost my whole professional feel of holding a BB But nonetheless, its the best for me. Helps juggle between several mail accounts and is very quick and effective. The new phone has a superb appointment and calendar system that helps storing and accessing them very easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Stryke Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 ^U know the funny part. These people dont even activate a BB plan :S...they use it as a normal phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shekdown Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 ^U know the funny part. These people dont even activate a BB plan :S...they use it as a normal phone Precisely My friend got it so that she has quicker access to facebook or something like that. Im literally like "Wtf? So you went and spent 25k on a business oriented phone to use facebook? You stupid bint, you could have bought an iphone or something". Thats the point casual owners get irritated and dont see the reality of why BBs are used by business people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shekdown Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Its definitely available. But dont look at Blackberry stores. Try Univercell or the gray markets or places like that. They'll definitely have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
