[Q] Confusion confusion confusion

Well guys as I posted in my previous topic that I want to buy a decent android mobile but now its just confusion confusion nconfusion.
I'm confused.
First i thought to buy sony ericsson x10 mini pro as it got qwerty. Then polo adviced me not to buy because they'll stuck on android eclair and low screen resolution as well low hardware.
Then I thought to buy motorola defy from all your guys suggestion. But I always wanted a qwerty phone so for a while my heart turns towards motorola milestone. But then again you guys helped me and showed me correct path as it got low phone internal memory and ram.
Then my mind kept cool for a while so i was searching for a decent phone. Then comes galaxy S i9003 which got everything , dual cameras and a decent hardware butnot much developer support. And I don't know whether it got a gorilla glass which is screen resistance.
So then comes the news ofarrival of sony ericsson mini and mini pro. Mini progot a decent hardware, 5 mp camera with flash, secondary camera , hd video recording and playback but again it's too small when it was compared with xperia x10 it seems too small in size.
I got a budget of 21000 rupees i.e. 480 . What should i buy now?

@ Shriharsh
considering your budget, i would advice you to extend it by 1.5k more and you would get a galaxy s i9000. I have just got the phone for a friend @ 22.5k.
else go for moto defy, damn good phone with good dev support

[Q] What to buy, Xperia P, Sola, or Arc S?

I'm planning to buy a new phone and considering between these 3.
The Sola and Arc s are selling at the same price in my area.
Not much different between these 2 to me, the Arc S looks a bit sleekier but the Sola is newer. Both have promised updates to 4.0 ICS (will there be JB?). The main difference to me is the processor. Sola's dual 1Ghz NovaThor vs 1.4Ghz Snapdragon of Arc S. Which is faster? I don't play heavy 3D games, but will need to open large (10-30MB) pdf files. The Sola has better internal storage (8GB) but the Arc S will come with a free 8GB microSD card if I buy it.
The P is about 30$ more from the previous 2, with better screen resolution and 1GB RAM over 512MB of the 2. I don't quite like the design, but it's not a problem. The drawbacks are the lack of microSD slot and poor battery.
My needs are of a casual user: calls, messages, some web browsing, document reading (as mentioned), normal games like angry birds or fruit ninja, watching music videos,...
So what should I choose? And was I missing anything? Thanks in advance.

Eh... anyone? I'm going to buy it soon, so any recommendation is appreciated.

I think the Arc S would be the best for you then. Sure dual core is better but even a single core with 1.4GHz should be enough. I'm personally not a fan of the newer Xperias - dunno why :/ What are you going to use - stock or custom ROM? Well it's mainly a matter of personal choice - just go into a shop (this is called a market research) and get your hands on both (arc s and sola). Use them for some time and decide which one suits you better They are both nice pieces of tech And remember that if you don't like it you can return it in a 7 day period - so no worries

if you read more often on your phone, I suggest you to pick the one with bigger screen size and bigger DPI (dots per inch ==> printed magazine has around 300dpi). bigger RAM may also help in this situation.
I own xperia Ray (single core 1 GHz, 512 RAM). I can open pdf file with 30MB size smoothly using adobe reader. But, in this case there aren't many images inside the file. it will get slower if I open a scanned magazine or other similar files.
the newer xperia phone may have bigger chance to get upcoming android updates from SONY (e.g. Jelly Bean).

Sola's battery is 1320... It is less than minimum...

i think u should buy the Arc S. 1.4Ghz should be enough.
- A bigger screen than Sola which will be great for documents and casual gaming..
- higher battery
- great design.

Nice choice... Sony Xperia J is a nice mobile phone because it comes with 4.0.4 android operating system, 4 inch screen display, 5 mega pixel camera, 1 GHz processor, 512GB RAM, 3G and 1750 mAh battery capacity which is superb so you dont think about battery of this mobile. You can read all details here:
themobileindian.com/handset-guide/details/Sony-Xperia-J

J's stylish design caught my eyes. But yikes.... it only comes with 512MB RAM which is the same as Xperia Ray I'm having now.
In fact, its specs are all the same with Ray (aside from the fact that it's newer CPU) except bigger screen and battery.
So, my guess is that you'll experience slight lag on normal use and heavy lag if you're running a lot of widgets and apps simultaneously. (after all, what can you get with that budget?)
Just my two cents, but it's definitely the best phone available out there for that price tag.

You dont think about batterylife of Xperia J because it has 1750 mAh battery capacity which is very good.

My friend have it.
IMO xperia J has teh good battery life, but main disadvantage is sometimes its so lag.
I dont know why, but its should be Ok.

xperia j have good specification enough to beat galaxy ace... i thng u dont need to compare it

The Xperia J's design is indeed really attractive and though it isn't as fast as newer phones, it's pretty snappy to me. One big downside to it is its internal memory though! If you're a shutter bug like me, you'll find yourself filling that internal memory really quickly.

Getting a new phone, but which?

Currently using a Galaxy S4 and want to change with a nice phone (duh). There is one question I'm asking - is it a good idea to get a phone with Snapdragon 801/805 instead of 810? If so, which would you recommend - Xperia Z3 or Moto X 2014? I'm worried that if I get them, in a year or two, some apps will only support 64 bit chips.

It's going to be a long time before anything but perhaps the most intense games require 64 bit over 32 bit.
Of those 2, the Xperia Z3 is definitely the better phone than the Moto X. The Moto X has its qualities, but the Z3 has the dual speakers, waterpfoofness, expandable storage, and like twice the battery life.

Do you think I should go and get the Z3 or wait for the Z4 (which we barely have news on)?

Personally I would go ahead with the Z3. Sony's Xperia Z line is rather iterative; the changes between successive models are pretty gradual. It is thought that the only major upgrade will be to the GPU from Adreno 330 to 430, according to leaked benchmarks. It is doubted that there will be any bump in screen technology, size or resolution.
Ultimately, your call.

I have HTC One M7 now planning to change and get other brand phone my previous all phone are Htc any body suggest what can i get or better 4 me.

Now looking at the X, I'm actually tempted to go and buy the N6, both the N6 and Z3 have got similar pricing where I live, but it'll be another week or two for me to decide on which phone to get.
Anyway, thanks for your guys' opinions.
