Looking for a mobile around the range 10-15K

I was looking to buy Samsung Wave but it is no longer available. (If anyone know where I can get it in Bangalore, it would solve my problem). Hence, looking for some other model within 15K.

Here are the list of features that I am interested in:

GPS: I have started running long distances and hence need to track my mileage, speed, time, route taken for my weekend runs. And I don't want to buy any GPS watch.

Internet Browsing: Should give a decent browsing experience to checkout my mails(Gmail) and FB account.

Video watching: Can do without a physical keypad but need an optimum screen size to watch few videos. Touch response should be fast enough. Don't need ultra-high video clarity but it should support multiple formats (preferably flv and divx).

Camera, video recording aren't something I am looking for, though I shouldn't be hiding my phone for an ocassional click.

At the moment, I am thinking of Galaxy 3. Please advice if I am making the right decision.

Thanks

I think you should look for Nokia C6-01. It's now available in bangalore for 15k if I am right :)

Given how good Nokia navigation (offline maps) is, it can be a good pick for you.

I am pretty sure that it is better than Galaxy 3 :)

@desiibond,
Except for no Android, C6-01 specs look decent. This weekend, I will give a look at it in some store.

@techno_guy,
Searched for Wave 2 in google. Appears similar to Wave except for a bigger LCD display. In some forums, there are speculations that it would cost around 25K. I am not sure if they would put it in the price range of Galaxy S. Anything above 20K is a strict no for me. For a really good model, I can go into the budget range of 15-20K.
Anyway, when is Wave 2 coming into the Indian market?

I don't think will be prices more than 20k

Similar case was with wave 1 . It was expected to be for 20k+ price but then it was just 17~18k

It may come to india maybe by Jan

see this is C6 which is for 13k . It has 5mp cam and resistive touch screen

Nokia India - Nokia C6 - Products

and this is C6-01 which is not yet released . it has 8 mp cam and capacitive touch screen

Nokia India - Nokia C6-01 touch-screen mobile phone - Products

Its a bit confusing just like how like X3 is a normal phone and X3-02 is touch + type phone

Just compared Wave-1 and 2 on gsmarena. Except for a bigger but lesser clarity display of Wave-2, rest of the things appear exact. I see no reason why it should priced higher than Wave-1.
