Hello digit. Been a fan for over four years. Would like to know of the cheapest android my money can buy. I am not looking for a good camera or facebook integration, just a 1ghz processor, ample RAM, and hardware qwerty if possible. Brand namess don't matter. Reply soon guys. Running out of time.

Karbonn A9 is cheapest 1 Ghz phone but it is completely not worth it.. Save upto Rs 13500 and buy a Neo V.. It even has ICS update now

Live With Walkman is the cheap and good android phone with 1Ghz processor, but if you want something good then you can have a look at Desire S and One V

Why go for LWW with 3.2 inch screen with 320x480 res screen, with no ICS when you can buy Neo V for 14K at almost the same price.. Check ebay, there are plenty of sellers there

if you compare Neo V vs One V, I would choose Neo V - They have exactly the same SoC and specs, both have ICS but Neo V is cheaper and looks a lot sexy

Forget the screen... it may not be the best but at least its "acceptable"; its the cam that is the biggest let down. Its got the worst cam in its range.

But if you want a durable phone Defy + is the best, I own one and it has gone through looads of beating , and still refuses to die :)

Considering Motorola's footprint in India, its not wise to buy Motorola!!

Yes , do not consider Defy+ , why would people not even consider buying with such impressive specs and being the most durable of all phones in the range , all of this at 14k only ... the issues , screen , warranty , Camera :(

Desire S would be my choice probably.

You have Huawei Ideos X5 Pro selling for 13.8k (lesser the Moto Defy+). The specs also seems impressive...

:shock:Aren't I glad i came here for help!! Thanks a bunch for the suggestions you guys gave. Still pretty confused here, but i think ill go with either Sony Live with Walkman or Galaxy Y Pro Duos. It's a tad 832 Mhz but I believe I can live with that. Also, sorry i replied late. ISP throwing tantrums.:-D:-D

Moto service is not that bad. There are fewer service centers though. I know several people who are using it and are happy with it. Main drawback is its pathetic cam. Otherwise its a good fone. Perhaps the most durable currently available.

Is Huawei reliable??

Heard good reviews about the phone, but not sure on reliability...
There are few XDA developers working on customer ROMs for this phone (ICS...)
