Blackberry torch, audio video ellaam problem e illai. only problem is price, Rs.32 K! Best thing is go to blackberry showroom and see if it suits you. before that one shud remember blackberry phones are not very popular for entertainment, rather they are mainly meant for official/business purposes. You can carry ur whole mailbox for free, lots of corporate features, excellent support, tried and tested softwares which does not hang/leave u in confusion etc.,

There r ppl who NEVER like qwerty phones at all, i am one such! (eventho i agree the easiness of typing text, when compared to touch ones)

Anyways, for those who want excellent touch screen phone with lots of entertainment feature, i would recommend mine - Dell XCD35.

Also, when considering among Android phones, and if your budget is around 10K, All these LG Optimus, Samsung galaxy, Sony Ericsson(X10 Mini/X8), Motorola (XT5), HTC Wildfire, all take a beating to Dell XCD35. The biggest highlight is that this 10K phone has a display exactly equal to iPhone3! ( 3.5 inches, 480 x 800 pixel resolution)

So you get a superb display, good cpu(600 Mhz) all the other goodies like Android 2.2, Wi-Fi, 3G, GPS, Accelerometer, Compass & proximity sensors, a decent camera, decent battery life, all in one package with a really impressive price.

Somehow, there is almost no publicity for this phone, when compared to LG, Samsung & Sony. Any mobile vendor dealing all this phones will tell you XCD35 has superior specs than these phones, be he is kinda being chased by the wholesale dealers of Samsung & LG for increasing sales whereas the Dell marketing dept is limiting itself only to laptops.

I brought this phone mainly for development/hacking purpose, as its a well hacked phone, but even from a lay consumer point of view, this phone has a great specs!

Softsword, To explain in simple words, do you see ALL features in the mail app u see in android, similar to your gmail account u see in PC? Also gmail is not corporate mail client like outlook express. Blackberry is kinda 1st phone which actually created a category called smartphone. Not those crap HP PDAs etc. While BB has almost ALL useful features of a corporate mail packed onto the device, it also has excellent Backend support features in the Mail servers which are connected to the BB devices. Added to that, unmatched security, speed, stability, support and performance which are any day the top priorities of a Corporate Mailbox. All those features which existed in "Mail for PC & Servers" were recreated, for the 1st time, to devices, by BB. Its a pinoeer. Now compare that to open source, malware-prone Android where enterprise features are still catching up.

But for an average individual consumer aiming for entertainment, glamour and glitz, not too much worried about enterprise features, iPhone and Android offers best, while Android taking good share becos of its low cost price point.

Corporate mail is just ONE feature among the many other useful Enterprise services available on a BB. For example there are BB apps that can pass a search query to a million item db sitting on remote corporate server, which is almost impossible thru an Android Device.

You can use the System Task manager to kill the unwanted tasks that run in background. Problem with android is it won't kill the apps you closed, and they will needlessly keep running in background. If not, try some 'task killer' apps in market.

Cyanogenmod has task killers which you can optimize very deep but installing that voids ur warranty

xperia comes with built-in talk killer sorry task killer app (at least mine had, which the best buy guy demo-ed while signing up).

Groucho,
What is the battery expectation? I've never had low-bat problem - at times me & my 5 yr old youtube for a couple of hours without problem...may be I have this habit of plugging into adapter each night...however, even when I forgot a couple of times, there was no low-batt issue at all for that day...

Above all, these phones can plug into any laptop and get charged (USB) ; also car chargers are sold at $ 0.99 in amazon.com...so, battery life should no longer be a consideration when picking a smartphone in the future...
