Backstory
I had a Dell XCD-35. It had an awesome screen [3.5" - 800 x 480]. It is a phone that meets all my requirements. Unfortunately it went bad within warranty. Dell said they needed 60 days to fix it. And after 60 days they said they need 30 more. I dont think they are going to give it back anytime soon. (Lived without a phone for 2+ months so far btw...) I have to leave for Jodhpur on 8th Dec for a conference and I will need a phone then. That is the only reason I am looking for one. So if dell does not return my phone in 5 more days [most likely the case] I will go out and but a new one.
