Price Challenge: Samsung Galaxy ACE (S5830)

!! The one who earns know the value of each penny !!

When I woke up today from my evening nap, I thought which product should I choose for the price challenge. So, checked few websites for their hot selling phones and google search trends over past few months. I found people are buying and searching about about lot of Samsung phones. Samsung has really created good brand image for them and last week only they launched Galaxy Note which is hybrid of mobile phone and tab. Will surely do a price challenge for it soon !!! but not today :)

So, I found two samsung phones selling like hot cakes Samsung Galaxy Y and Samsung ACE. I personally like ACE much more because of its look and features offered at the perfect pricing point. From the people using it, I found two issues with it Front Camera missing (No Video Calls !!) and battery hogging (almost all smart phones are so its not ethical to blame it for battery). But still 3G is beyond common man reach so we can forgo video calling for one more year when with WI-MAX and probably 4G we might get much more interesting phones. But, as of now its a nice phone to buy at this price point to have peace of mind for 1 to 2 years for not upgrading the phone.

Please find below the best prices available on online shops. Today, also i found variation of 0-2000 INR in pricing across websites. I am not sure how the websites offering same phone at 14000 INR survives when the same is available around 12500 INR price bracket. May be they make money by gullibility of the consumer and thus losing a future customer altogether.

One can see from my last three posts including this for vouching the best deals online everyday there is

new player offering the best of the lot. So, one must try buying small products like pendrives, cd 
packs etc first from these stores to certain about there delivery commitments and customer care.
Then, when your faith builds up you can do high transaction business with them. 

As, of now I know the best website in India to do online shopping with impeccable delivery is 
Flipkart.com but they charge you for this service by pricing their products a bit costlier then other.  

Please leave your comments if prices mentioned above are not correct or you have got a better deal or you are looking for price comparison of some other product.

PS: Somebody asked why you are blogging all these prices..I said wait and watch for something bigger to come !!!
