Re: Hunt For a New Cell Phone Begins!
Best VFM go for the LG Optimus P500, Its my second phone alongside my Xperia Arc and the phone is very very good. I get about 200+ emails and never did it let me down. Only downside is lack of Flash for the camera (Not at all important for me though).
When I picked it up it was for around 10500 about 5-6 months back. Was loaded with Android Froyo. But I have upgraded it to Android Gingerbread.
Battery Lasts all day and I charge it during the night. The touch screen is also very responsive with both landscape and potrait mode.
I use the 'Touchpal' keyboard which is a breeze to type. You dont even have to look at the keyboard.
