Searching for a cheap smartphone and actually I'd say that only Samsung has some good and cheap phones available:

Wave (Bada):
Samsung Wave 723: 219,-€
Samsung Wave 525: 163,- €

Galaxy (Android):
Samsung Galaxy I5800: 196,-€

And I might have the possibility to get the Samsung Galaxy I7500 from a friend for a good price but I would need to update it to Android 2.2...

Which one would you suggest?

1) Forget about Bada

2) Grab the 5800 or the 7500, great phones, built in Xvid/DivX support (only Samsung androids have it)

Well any other suggestions then ~200euros?

The phone will be used by my dad and/or my fiancees little sister... so no techno geeks
I'd prefer Android phones myself

Oh jeez, dude, if it's for a kid or dad than there's hundreds of em. Get whatever they like more in terms of design etc.

This ain't worth a thread, really.

Yeah but that automatically means that I'm the person responsible for service and maintenance.

Somebody had any experience with the Galaxy I7500? The only thing that I don't like about the specs is the actually very slow processor Sad

I had a 7500. And once again - why do care about the processor if it won't be used actually.....?
