    [deleted post]Official price : Rs 18999.
    Street price already fell down to atlest 17500-18000.
    Post X-mass wl be surely down to 17000..if u want a bargain and have patience..then look fr when it becomes available in the mob-stores like HOTSPOT..MOBILE-STORE etc.
    If possbl avoid purchasng frm Maharashtra (myself a Puneite)..xtra 6.5% mobile VAT here.

                atul, 20 Dec 2010wave 2 vs c7.. internal memory ....... c7 8b internal ... moreToday I almost went with C7 but I came to know that Wave II will be available in some days so I dumped C7.I know both are neck to neck but Wave is just too smooth and faster.camera is also fixed focus.Also the Super clear LCD is as great as Amoled. But in the end its all depend on you which one you like.Both are best phone in range on 17000-19000

                      wave 2 vs c7..

                      internal memory .......
                      c7 8b internal not wave 2
                      u need to buy memory card micro ""sdhc"" cost u 1500rs/- more bcoz 720p hd recording possible only in micro sdhc not on microsd
                      and internal memory is better

                      SCREEN
                      no amoled in wave 2

                      wav2 3.7' c7- 3.5' but .2' not a big deal i think

                      c7 - gorilla protection , wav- oleophobic scratch resistant but no one can come close 50% to gorilla....grrrr
                      screen resolution wave is double winner
                      but overall both r equal but i prefer c7 amoled if u need big secrren u can goo for galaxy tab ...welcome..


                      OS
                      os are at same level both cant match android , wp7
                      but for simple music, video player , photos , gaming , book reading , chating
                      u dnt need heavy android
                      symbian 3 get update soon and bada os is now at 1.2 level
                      but i still like sym3 touchwiz is like cartoonish to me .... and c7 has good screen interface.. i like the way of widgets on c7
                      3 screens good


                      c7 has much much better call reception 100 , wave 2 - 50 (out of 100 no.)

                      PROCESSOR
                      wave 2 1gb processor but 680mb is sufficient 1gb rom u can run 20-25 app. at a single time without lag... u can see videos on youtube
                      and watch gaming on n8 it is same on c7 100% same only hdmi connectivity missed...
                      and n8 has too good gaming i dnt see much abut wave 2... but wave2's little brother is quite good...

                      nokia better customer support

                      build quality nokia c7 better

                      CAMERA
                      camera wave - 100 , c7 - 80(out of 100 no.)STILL PICS...
                      video recording - wave hd 29.99 frms/sec , c7 - hd 25 frms/sec with video stabalization
                      still images wav2 5mp autofocus v.good
                      c7-8mp ""fullfous"" not ""fixed foucs""

                      connectivity c7 pentaband 10.2 mb , wave 2 - 3.2 mb connectivity c7 is better but wav2 supports flash new update on sym3 also provide it

                      usb on the goo latest and good feature c7 yes excellent, w2- no... i like usb on the goo 10 points more to c7 surely

                      lifetime navigation c7- yes , w2- 30 days

                      so it depends on you if u take pictures from 1meter to infinity and 8 gb memory or want to buy a microsdhc depend on u...
                      both are equal

                      it is like one is eminem's - not affraid and other is eminem's - loss yourself....

                      i try demo of nokia c7 and n8 at store i m really impressed
                      but not wave2's till now....
                      wave2's review are not on much websites but c7 on every single one......

                      some wesites dislike c7..or give it 6-7/10 becoz of sym3 only.. %^&* them clg guys , youth dnt read office documents cnet.uk
                      otherwise choice s urs if you have any other question i try to figure it out....... thnx.......


                      one thing at last..
                      and pls dont post anything n97, sony vivaz pro... they r much behind wave2 and c7...
                      they r old technlogys now..pls grow up...

                                        people who are complaining that this phone should be android should just bugger-off.the wave series is BADA and the galaxy series is ANDROID.if you dont want bada then dont come here cos the wave series will never have android.LONG LIVE BADA!!!!
