I will soon be purchasing a new smartphone for myself. My budget is around Rs. 20,000. Can someone please suggest me some good smartphones. It's got to be Android, with 2.3 or upgradeable.Thanks.

20 k .. Lot of option are available in this range .. Nexus a is bestBut look out for samsung Galaxy r .. Which is lower version of galaxy 2 and expecting it to cost 5-6 k less

nexus s is the best option for around Rs. 20k. Galaxy r is not yet launched right?

Samsung Galaxy S is also an option. Though nexus s will always get the latest andriod updates before others 😛 . Nexus S has no FM player , fixed storage of 16GB. (Hope im nt wrong 😛)Galazy R is also known as Galaxy Z , cheaper variant of S2 or maybe a upgraded version of SL :wink:

and Galaxy s comes with 4GB of storage in the same price and does not have camera flash. and does not have stock android.

LG Optimus Black P970 is another option. Personally, i'd go for Nexus S too.

Nexus S is the best option.

Will Nexus S provide push emails?

 

[Sushubh]

gmail push mail is available out of the box.

What about Hotmail and Yahoo?

 

[Sushubh]

cannot say about these two services. yahoo mail has an official app for android. it might be offering push email service.

- Preview photos in your inbox
- Enhanced integration with Yahoo! Messenger
- Push notifications of your mail
- Send and receive mail attachments
- Compose with rich text & emoticons
- Smart folders and powerful search

Aah.. This means Androids itself don't come with a pre-installed e-mail client. A disgrace tbh. I am currently using Samsung Wave GT-S8500 (the SUPER AMOLED one) and we have an application known as Social Hub Premium which provides push e-mails for Hotmail, Yahoo!, Google, GMX, etc.

 

[Sushubh]

umm. android comes with two email clients. one is gmail and one is a regular email client. yahoo does not offer free pop right? it does to indian accounts though. i do not know if i configure a yahoo account using the regular email app, it would be push or not.

 

[AbhishekMSharma]

Can you please configure Yahoo! on the regular mail app and let me know about it?
