FadetoBlack Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Budget can go upto 10k. She is not comfortable with touch screen, so planning to avoid it Edited July 17, 2012 by FadetoBlack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante77 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 neither is my brother who bought it. Its just that touch (capacitive) is an additional feature. It looks good and n00b friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeehunter Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Nokia Asha series is quite reliable .. Your mom won't need any apps .. Symbian S40 is quite smooth for that price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rohan Seth Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 If only it was an Android phone.... I love the looks of Lumia 800... great built, great design and awesome camera but the OS is a big disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeehunter Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 OS is quite good for day to day use  No use of buying Lumia phones so late as they won't be upgradable to WinPho 8 Idiot Nokia should have launched this earlier and kept the price of Lumia 800 at 25k since launch  I had to settle for Lumia 710 coz 800 was for 29k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante77 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 yeah, they priced it like it was an iOS device Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Ya if it was an Android device, it would have probably flown off the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeehunter Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 No .. Lumia 800 just has Single Core 1.4Ghz processor and 512 MB RAM Android would have lagged to the core on this device Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Oh ok, I have not been following Nokia for quite sometime, but that kind of hardware is old school, Â Â Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante77 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 No .. Lumia 800 just has Single Core 1.4Ghz processor and 512 MB RAM Android would have lagged to the core on this device That is a very wrong assumption that people just made in their mind. My phone has 1Ghz processor with an adreno 205 GPU and it hardly hangs. And I have lots of apps and games installed. I wont say it never hanged, it did sometimes it even restarted 3-4 times but its almost a year and I guess just 3-4 or less restart doesn't considered to be bad in a year besides the amout of apps i've installed in my phone is probably double than any normal 'windows phone' user. Yes, there are some shitty dual core phones like optimus 2x which are worse than galaxy y but assuming the same thing for all devices is just wrong. Â Also, about 'use only as phone' and 'its good as a phone'. People buy smartphones so that their phones would do 'smart' things and run apps and games. There is really no point in buying a 30k phobe just to make phone calls unless soneone is really in the looks and looks only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rohan Seth Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 ^ I agree. Phones like Xperia U, HTC Desire or SE Live have almost same specs but they are android phones. Lumia 800 has great looks and is well built and I don't see a reason why it wouldn't be a good android phone. But Nokia DID mess this one up. Should have released with Win 8.

AtheK Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Then it is extremely order priced at 25k, plus anyone carrying a Nokia smartphone is actually not so smart   Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante77 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Yeah, and then they claim I have it just to make phone calls and texting. I don't want any fancy apps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unrealistic Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Alright, so I've narrowed my options down to the Galaxy Nexus or the HOX. Now, I know that the HOX is priced around 33K in the market whilst the Galaxy Nexus is around 24K. That equates to a difference of 9K. Â Aside from the Quad Core proc, the 0.1" larger screen, better build quality and local warranty, is there any other reason why I ought to opt for the HOX? I, personally, don't like the HTC Sense UI, so it ain't something I'd consider as a pro. Â Basically, aside from getting a newly launched phone, I'm trying to justify the additional 9K investment. Any input will be appreciated! Edited July 23, 2012 by Unrealistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 If you think nexus s has all your requirement ticked, go for it, 9k is a big amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 ^He is talking about Galaxy Nexus I hope. Because Nexus S is outdated. Even Jellybean has a slight lag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
