Depends on how much you are willing to spend: * Motorola has just released an Android 1.5 phone in India that looks nice, and importantly has lifetime access to MapMyIndia maps. A friend of mine has one, and while driving somewhere in Gurgaon, it did a great job of talking us to the destination. Expensive, though: About 28K * There are other Motorola Linux phones which are cheaper: 10-15K, I believe. You could ask RM. He has such a phone, and is happy with it. * HTC phones can be ordered from the US, and will be available in India soon. These are well built, but again probably will be around 20K. * Samsung has some nice Android phones on the market, or coming out soon, at a very good price/performance ratio. You can go check their site, and I think that you can get one for 15-18K. Have not actually seen any of these, though. -- Gora ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list linux-india-help@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
