Hey Guys,

Need some suggestions on what cellphone to buy. My current Motorola L7 SLVR is two years old and is getting a wee bit erratic. I like the form factor of my phone as it is thin and a tactlie pleasure due to great build quality.

I would like something similar in terms of design and slimness. These are my other requirments:
1) Budget - Rs. 15,000
2) Features - Phone \ Sync to Outlook for contacts \ Calendar and IMAP Email.
3) QWERTY Keyboard for Text and Email \ Touch input is another possibility as long as it is not stylus induced. I hate T9 text so that would rule out 12 digit key pads.
4) Don't care for the camera - I have never used it on any of my previous phones
5) Bluetooth \ GPRS \ 3G would be nice but I don't really care too much about this since I don't think many service providers in India have a 3G Network.
6) OS - Windows 6.0 pref but not limited to symbian, blackberry etc.
7) Don't care for Media player \ functions
8) Would like a robust battery - My current L7 discharges in 2 days

I checked the Motorola Q8 and Q9 but it is too wide to hold for regular phone conversations and I disliked the rubber casing feel. Samsung SGH i600 out due to over budget.

So any suggestions would be most welcome! Thanks.

P.S. I don't mind pushing the purchase a month or two if something neat is on it's way.

Does anybody know any good mobile store in Gurgaon where multiple options for PDA's are available. I could not find a good one.

There is one in metropolitan but he do not have many options.

I am specifically looking for seller having HP iPAQ 6965

No idea brother. Just got a mail from SE coz I had asked them to notify me. Guess you'll have to visit a store.

I may be grossly wrong here but when i went to local SE service centre for repair of my 810,a guy there told me that it will be around 18-20k.

I dint beleive him though.

The Samsung G800 looks cool.

And for 10k hows i320 from Samsung (The Gadgeteer - Samsung SGH-i320 Windows Mobile Smartphone)

Comes with additional battery and case for carrying it and one can directly charge it!

Too Big - It is wider than a HMMWV's backside.

i320 ruled out due to WM 5.0. G800 does look nice - does it have touch input and price in India?

i320 for 10k is a steal right? 415Mhz!

G800 for 24k
1)An ICEpower amplifier by Bang & Olufsen ICEpower
2)5 Mega pix cam with 3x Optical zoom

i320 is indeed priced well. Too bad about the WM 5.0

Yeah - G800 is over budget... so the search continues - Actually the HP i6525 looks pretty nice but it too has WM 5.0 and is 20K+. I saw another one on HP's website - Ipaq i612 - looks to fit all my needs but I can't find a price online. Any clue about this? The only irritating thing in the phone may be a jog dial integerated in the number pad but will see how the phone feels in hand.
