thats why i was going for galaxy s and nexus s.and to be honest i want more developer support than dual core or 1GB ram.galaxy s has 720p video shoot+front cam+microSD slot.and i have decided to get that.anyone have any idea where i can get it from pindi, islamabad as i want international version and ppl here are selling 110ms any call korean version of galaxy S.

I sold a Galaxy S international version for 10k a couple of weeks back Office phone. Its front was fine but the chrome was almost all gone.

You can easily get one in Singapore Plaza for 17-20k. I went to a shop and there were four Galaxy S lying there in great condition.

Sola vs galaxy nexus S

Sola developers support isn't 10% of nexus S's

A thousand likes. I dont know why the members at PG prefer q-shit or samsung over sony. Sony is making some of the best mobiles these days at budget level and people are saying that their Noir A8 is better than sony xperia sola. ROFLMAO :hah:

A slightly used Xperia P is much option

Developers support say karna hia bhai. Jelly bean is the last upgrade that nexus s will get. Besides I have used a nexus s and compared to xperia sola, its nthing. The nexus i used had jellybean in it but it was not at all good to use IMO. Even temple run was lagging in it so developer's support isn't that great a thing as people have hyped over it. Besides Sola will be brand new as compared to refurbished nexus s.
IMO, the most optimized android version from an apps POV is still gingerbread or ICS. To enjoy the full android exp u dont really need an OS above Gingerbread and ICS which xperai sola has.

well its true that i dont know much as coming from nokia x6 and with some ideos u8150 custom roms experience but in my opinion the sola is just like korean version of galaxy s with very small supporting community at xda.and that was the first of many reason that i returned it to homeshopping and asked for refund.nexus S and galaxy S are ,its true that they are refurbished, but damn one can do so much with these handsets i mean so many custom roms and so much level of independence which is the whole point of owning a droid.thats why i chose galaxy S.but it turned out korean one which only has 8-10 custom roms and also no great community support

I'm using Jelly beans 4.2's camera on this phone, without rooting it!
And you say developers support doesn't matter :O

Yes, gaming will lag on nexus S with "official" jelly beans.

Try to find a Korean Galaxy S2 (someone bought it for Rs21K). It can be easily converted to international galaxy S2 by just flashing the pit file
