So it's like this, I have Nexus S and I am very happy with it, but company is offering me an official buy for 6K. As an Android enthusiast I just want to get back with an Android only. But as I already have a mainstream android, I have diff requirements for this buy:
  • Maximum Battery power
  • Best build quality(Rough n tough)
  • No compromise with phone's internal component-quality
  • Not necessarily a touch screen phone as it will make it delicate and will eat a lot of power
Thanks in Advance guys!

Rough 'N' Touch? :blink:

Buy a brick then! :D

It's a crime to buy an Android phone less then Rs. 8K, and then repent later.
Wait till you can extend budget to a little more, or buy something else than Android. :?

Add 800 Rs. and get Galaxy Y.Don't buy anything from the 'desi' companies above Rs. 1000.Also if you can wait for some time,and increase your budget in that time, go for Sony Xperia Tipo(9k as per the rumours).I am also waiting for the phone.

Thanks all for reply!
See I have a smart phone(NEXUS) with me already.
But my company is reimbursing a phone of amount 6K.
So I want a supportive phn which is tough and have good battery backup and preferably an Android(However if other better deal is there, I don't have any issue)

^^ Lol, it you already have a good Android, then why not buy a Nokia phone or something, which would give you a better battery life! :D

Yes as u already have a good android phone ...go for a Nokia phone ...preferably go for one in the Asha series ...they are long lasting and durable as well and also you will get a long lasting battery phone :)
