nitinmukesh123 11 Report post Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) Hi friends, Today my little daughter broke my phone so I am now looking to buy a new phone. I am also fine buying a 2nd hand phone with original bill if it is in mint condition. Please advice Price <=10K GSM Dual sim preferred HSPDA/3G etc... Android GPS/A-GPS 4-5" with good display It will be great if the phone performance is good and stable i.e. does not hang much. Please also suggest any good deal. I looked at ebay deals/shopclues..etc but not sure about the quality hence the request. Any help is appreciated.

xtremelovers 2 Report post Posted October 26, 2013 Nitin ji you should have a look for Panasonic T11. Jellybean, 5MP Camera, 1GB Ram, Dual Sim, 4 " screen, 4GB Internal Memory. Read some good reviews about this handset. Available around 9000 in retail market. http://m.gsmarena.com/panasonic_t11-5769.php 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitinmukesh123 11 Report post Posted October 28, 2013 Thank you Hitesh and Rishabh for your valuable inputs. @Hitesh I have heard that Lenovo customer service is very bad even for corporate customers. (i.e. what I have been told by couple of friends). I am now thinking of trying Windows OS now as I already have Tab 3 at home so its better I try any Nokia mobile with Win OS. Please suggest.

rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted October 28, 2013 @nitinmukesh123 If you want to stick to android, Sony Xperia M Dual fulfills all your needs.

nitinmukesh123 11 Report post Posted October 29, 2013 Thanks Hitesh and Rajan. @Rajan ji Thank you, this is a good phone and fulfill all what I was looking for. I am now willing to try Windows OS on mobile so I want to try Nokia now. Hope they still maintain the quality of hardware. I had Nokia N70 and it worked very well for almost 4 years even though it fall several times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) ^^^^ Nokia making quality hardware??? That was some years back, my friend... I can say E71 was their last high quality phone.. Even the E90 was plagued with soo many issues like uneven rubber feets, low quality mics, not working secondary cam, cr@ppy paint job, etc... It stayed in service centre more than in my hands... Please DO NOT ask about low end phones too.. All friends might have seen people who bought C2-00 (their first REAL DualSIM phone) talking by holding the phone at backside on their ears. Lower end phones had very very bad earphone problems. X1 had good earphones and speakers but it has THE WORST network coverage, afaik... Nowadays I am using Motorola phones (RazrMAXX, RazrMAXX_HD) and their build quality and battery life is second to none... The only problem is their military grade encrypted bootloaders, but I have unlocked BL of MaxxHD and used SafeStrap Recovery in OG_MAXX for sometime... WP phones are already --- OK, leave it... But if you are adamant in trying WP, you are left with no other choice than Nokia... Good luck... Edited October 29, 2013 by KanagaDeepan 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitinmukesh123 11 Report post Posted October 29, 2013 Oops I wasn't aware of that. So I think I should go for high end phones or stick with android where there are more options. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted October 29, 2013 ^^^^ If 10000 is your budget, then its better to stretch a bit more to 12.5k and go with Rajan ji's suggestion... Paying 12 to 13k for SONY's DualSIM phone is still cheaper and more convenient than getting one cheapest Nokia Lumia (with very small RAM) + another basic phone, imho...

nitinmukesh123 11 Report post Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) agreed. Actually budget is not much of a problem if needed I can shell out around 20-25K but since I have little kid at home I don't want to take risk of new mobile getting damaged hence I am looking for phone with good hardware which should not broke easily unlike Samsung which stops working (experienced twice) Edited October 29, 2013 by nitinmukesh123 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted October 30, 2013 ^ ^ ^ Ummm... When did Razr / Razr M / Razr HD became rugged phones? Rugged phones is a different category altogether. Based on relevant IP certification, they would survive shocks, falls from upto certain height, waterproof when submerged under water for certain period, touch on display may work even with wet hands, dustproof etc. AFAIK, Razr series at the most has only spill resistance due to coating (Not waterproof) and no other characteristic of rugged phones. In any case as nitinmukesh mentioned if the problem is kids, we don't have a kidproof phone invented yet. They can break / take apart even the most rugged phone! If he can't resist kids playing with his phone, practical solution for nitinmukesh would be to buy two same phones of 12.5K each & give one to kid instead of spending Rs 25,000 on single phone! Then they want touch his phone & it will be SAFE! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted October 30, 2013 ^^^^^ No Rajan ji... It will not be that much simple... They will first break the phone given to them and then come to their father's phone... Simply put, there is NO such thing called Kids proof phone, imho... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitinmukesh123 11 Report post Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) I completely agree. I gave my other mobile which was earlier broken by my daughter and she does not play with that mobile. So now I have 2 broken mobile in 3 months. I know that there are no kids proof mobiles but atleast they should not broke just with a small drop this is what I experienced with Samsung mobiles. I am thinking of getting repaired my Nokia N70 (only display is not working) and give it to my daughter for playing and buy myself a new phone.

snorlax 319 Report post Posted October 30, 2013 May be also u could get yourself a costly albeit high degree protection cover like an otterbox. Bit bulky and huge but does save from many drops and rough usage. Gives you peace of mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
