for ~25k (around 26k), you can also look at LG Optimus 2X. superb hardware but the software is a little buggy. else for 23k, Desire S.

You can also consider Galaxy Tab. Big battery & its Gingerbread update is phenomenal.

if camera and multimedia is your priority, please check SE Xperia Arc.

Optimus 2X software is a bit buggy. read random restarts (maybe SD card issue). firmware fixes or updates maybe coming soon or maybe LG will bring out gingerbread to fix these issues.

if camera and multimedia is your priority, please check SE Xperia Arc.

the arc has no front facing camera for video calling. review in sig.

Cant say which OS is better. Depends on your preference.

Android is the best as of now for you.
Close is iOS, almost the same but not as open as android.
BB is good for those who like BB Messenger in case all your friends have got BBs too. Its biggest USP.
WM7 with mango update; I have no idea.
Last is symbian OS. Good battery life. Bad at everything else.

For an extra 3K you can go for HTC Incredible S (same as it's name).

Buddy reading u r thread title is confusing it is saying like "installing Android OS in Nokia N8..."

the thread title shud be "Android OS phone or Nokia N8??"

i want to buy a smart phone under 25k.i has seen the nokia n8 i like the phone but dont like the os of phone i like if it has android os.so
there many models of android from HTC,Samsung,LG..
but the most successful so far is HTC & Samsung.

if any phone available with all the features of n8 then pls tell me.

i have not used any phone os other than symbian and now want to use android.also tell which os is better wm ,blackbeery or iphone.

UI is still immature and is still on Froyo (should get Gingerbread soon). Seriously speaking, if you can, close your eyes and get SGSII.
