Hamid - Desire is a bit old, i guess HTC has come up with HTC Sensation if ur comfy with the budget of Desire etc. HTC Salsa is more of a mid range between Wildfire and Desire.

I am actually looking at a mid range Android phone and have so far zeroed in on HTC Salsa or Sony Ericcson Neo V. Both are here around 12-13K. both are on gingerbread, another alternative is ofc a mid range Galaxy - maybe GalaxyW - around 15K or so (Galaxy R is quite pricy here.. around 20k! ). I would be buying one by this saturday, if u hvnt bought till then would give u feedback

Nokia and Symbian (or windows 7) pakkame pogadheenga somehow feels totally outdated, i made a mistake of trying out windows and bought Omnia II in the past!!

Ericcson Neo V pathengala? seems quite good... look wise and specs wise...

Nerd & other US Hubbers, Starting from 23rd dec 2011, I was daily scanning for deals. I was checking slickdeals.net to the extent that antha site e thenji pora aLAvukku, for every 2 hrs. Also was separately checking bestbuy, walmart, kmart, frys and many such, for interesting Tablet deals.

Nothing interesting, appeared till today! Only deal which is slightly OK for me is the Acer Iconia tab, that too refurbished for $298. That one comes with 90 day warranty so I am still thinking of buying it or not. Added to that Motorola xoom reduced its india prices to Rs.21.5K which is almost equal to the US prices, that too considering the ever increasing dollar value!

There was not even one single deal (atleast what i saw online) comparable to the thanksgiving day deals(bestbuy - 7" acer for $169, 10" acer for $229 & asus for just $299) I missed those deals in few blinks, and thought that this was just trailer and Xmas New Year deals will be the main picture but totally nothing interesting deals! Any idea u gys came across interesting deal for tablets?!?

Lenovo.com has their Lenovo 16GB IdeaPad A1 7" Android Tablet for $167 when you apply coupon code EMPLOYEEPRICE0119 at checkout. Shipping is free.

Nice deal!! But I would eventually get a tablet if the prices fall below $100

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

nice deal, converting the price gives INR 8.4K! but i am in need of 10" tabs for specific purposes, and i have no purpose with 7" ones....

Nanri Vithagan, not checking slickdeals for few days, so didnt know this deal before you posted
