you specified 'any' in preferred operating system and got all android phones in considered phones ,
i request you to get the os matter cleared if you dont want to repent in future.
There are many android phones avialable and i recomend htc explorer.
A for symbian Up your budget get nokia 603 . 500 is crap.
WP7 and iOS is not avialable in that price range.

My suggestion, go for an android phone.
There are many available within your budget.
As said above HTC Explorer - GSM Arena is a nice option.
Further you could try Samsung Galaxy Y - GSM Arena.
Also there is Samsung Galaxy POP Flipkart [8.3k]

All these options are for ur budget.
going for an android phone is the best option.
Hope this helps

htc explorer.

thanks guys !
for ur kind replies :mrgreen:

well i will go for android as u sugstd me.
but my first priority is to get good camera phone :-D

so plz mention if there any.
and what about the cam quality of galaxy pop and htc xplorer??
which has the best cam?

cheapest android with good photo quality is SE Xperia Mini but cost 11k. LG Optimus Net as well as HTC Explorer have almost similar quality difference only being Net having AF (auto focus).

If you can wait Sony Tipo should cost under 10k and offer same camera as Mini. Avoid POP.

Even though its 5mp and with flash ...the pictures taken are not even good as 2mp camera ....read reviews on net

Explorer certainly has a better camera when compared toalaxy y.
I own galaxy fit, and the camera is amazing !!! It has auto focus and takes amazing photos, 5mp.

This is a shot taken from galaxy fit :

But the current price of this is 9.4k, so high acc to ur TIGHT budget...

thanks a lot :lol:

hmmm
yes price is out of my budget but i can wait for some more days to grab some more money :mrgreen:

1.HTC explorer
2.LG optimus net

cant think of others...galaxy y is nice...i personally own one...
wide developer base on xda with cm almost ready...
but qvga resolution is a royal pain...
explorer and net will run more apps than galaxy y because of their hvga res.

Yeah..you could, price is justified for a good camera. :-D

This is a pic taken from thanks to the AUTO - FOCUS that is uploaded on my site. As you can see the Camera Model is S5670 aka Galaxy Fit, the camera is totally justified for the price !

You should wait because sony is going to launch some great entry level ics phones.
And thanks for calling me SIR .
Just joking no need of it i am still in college... :lol:

well If OP is on very strict budget then he should not wait.. as sony miro will be above 10K at least and sony tipo will be 9-10K .. OP should wait only if he can increase budget. .

well officially sony has not announced price.. but this price details are rumors..

Fire XT review. There OP himself said camera quality is poor despite having flash.

like others only suggestion for you is to wait for further pricecut on Mini or new mobiles from Sony & Samsung. As Pop, Fit are discontinued Samsung should release some replacement soon.

i have used friends Galaxy Fit. Camera is lot better than other 5MP unit. It lacks flash so low light photography is not possible but the quality is really high sadly that is Fit's only strength as QVGA (240X320) on a 3.3" screen looks really bad. pics are pixelated.

Samsung Primo

Get Explorer for 8k, its the best android phone in low budget.
If you want a non touchscreen phone, then Samsung Primo i.e. 5610 is really a very good phone.
