Buying an android phone

I want to buy an android phone max 7k
I don't wan't a symbian phone as I am bored of my old one
I am confused about wat 2 look for (not considering d camera it doesn't matter) - a faster processor or more ram I would be trying all d heaviest available apps nd games available I was thinking 2 go for Micromax A52-Processor is good but internal memory and RAM are less
Most manufacturers don't give internal memory and RAM separately making me even more confused-Is it like Symbian phones where using internal memory depletes the ram???
Please suggest some good models

I read that thread but I feel Indian brands are not as bad as said in it
Battery is not a problem for me and A52 sports 1 ghz processor which u don't find in cheap android phones(and it is 1.5k cheaper than samsung too)
And plz someone reply for the RAM that is reqd for running most games is 256mb sufficient?

if you are ok with the desi mobiles (read not all are crap) then you maybe interested in the newly launched Spice Android mobiles but don't expect any custom rom for those. Usually all you can do is root and remove bloatwares. Scripts are another way to enhance performance but thats it. You'll be stuck with Android 2.3 for life.

internal memory never depletes ram. Most mobiles within 6-7k have 256MB ram whereas the 10k mobiles have 384-512MB ram for international as well as the local brands.

HTC Explorer for 8k is the best option for you.

You can get Xperia Mini or Mini pro in your budget if you are okay with dealer warranty. Checkout the techcarnival 2012 @ebay
