My first phone was a motorolla v2088 way back in 98-99. Ever since then, I have been using Nokia having gone through various models over the year, my personal favourite being the ultra small 8250 (when compared to other handsets in vogue back in the early 2000's. My last Nokia phone was an E72 which i purchased for around 17K INR almost a couple of years ago. The set lasted for exactly over a year (just enuf to void the warranty). Despite being e slick looker with decent hardware, it's motherboard supposedly gave away. I went through 3 nokia service centres (each worse than the other) in kolkata before the last one identified the root cause correctly. A replacement motherboard would cost 7k, as per them. And bear in mind that I am a careful user, don't talk as much on the phone, don't play games on it and always make sure that my phone is secure and dry when i get out in the rain.
So my marriage with nokia has finally ended and the e72 lies quiet and silent in a dark deep corner of my room. I have promised to stay off anything even slightly resembling Nokia in future.
As a caveat, a friend of mine purchased the same nokia model on the same day that i did. Though his is still running condition, it barely manages to walk (despite regular firmware upgrades and memory purges).
We both finally switched to a different brand a month back.
So in conclusion:
1. Go for apple if you can afford it.
2. Go for any decent android phone if it has decent hardware and at least gingerbread and decent screen (S2/S3 if you can afford it) or even Galaxy Ace or some recent decent android phones from Sony/Ericcson/Motorolla.
3.Blackberry (if you can do without touchphones, can pay for additional BB services like BBM or social networking/general browsing, apart from your wireless carrier costs- airtel/voda etc)
If you value your hard earned money, stay away from Nokia. They've had a dream run in India for the last 10 years with their cheaper but more robust, common man friendly mobiles. These sets are sadly passe now and their new ones don't cut it in terms of reliability.
I end my rant.
Thanks.

Rs, 13 Jun 20124 ur kind info mate,samsung is nt only d brand who are providing cores processor,sony,htc,moto... moreWhat do you know about legacy of mobile OSs? I must say, NOTHING. You are one of those people who are completely blinded by the new candy and circus effects and animations of Android.
When you don't know anything, just don't misguide people with your illiteracy. Android is a copy paste of Maemo5 which was a project of Nokia years ago. Notification bar existed in Maemo5 when your dear Android wasn't even born. Check out Nokia900 for the reference.
Nokia Belle is simply an inspired version of Maemo5 and is based on Qt and Python. While your dear Android is not directly coded and meshed for the hardware that's why it is always unstable and laggy even with hexa octa and deca cores.
Stop trolling here with your sad brainless arguments.

Hii Guys
Does 808 support skype video calling....
Quad core processor is used for complex sceduling of OS, it give performance in terms of real time graphics, image processing, and realtime multi tasking, mean same time u open messenger, browser, and same time u open whatsapp running in background always, email syncronization time to time, when u have limted cpu resources the os halts the running jobs until its completes it job of higher priority.
SNS integration is built in social network system, by whic u directly upload pics, and videos from gallery to facebook or twitter, its an easy and quick interface
