These are the features I need:

1. 3G
2. Internet browing experience should be awesome.
3. Wi Fi (will prefer)
4. Free GPS
5. Good support for various audio and video formats.
6. 5 megapixel camera (can also settle for 3.2 but will prefer 5 megapixel)
7. Standard 3.5mm audio jack an microUSB support.
8. Good battery life
9. Good application support.

Currently I hav zeroed in to Nokia 5800 xpressmusic. Is it good or are there any new entrant too ?

Thanks.

even i wanna buy a similar phone under 15k... Nokia e71 doesn't have good camera...

I have shortlisted

LG Cookie KP500
LG GT505
Samsung B7330 OmniaPRO

Let me know other views.... Nokia phones are bulky somehow..

The Best option under 15k right now is Samsung Galaxy.

The Best option under 15k right now is Samsung Galaxy.

I have also checked galaxy as well... Seems we can't upgrade the Android OS :cry:

Otherwise it would've been the best option...

Sound quality is just amazing when paired with Sony MDR EX35LP. I am loving it.

Congrats on getting 5800 XM.
If you don't mind me asking, what do you think about the camera picture quality ? ( As you were looking for 5 MP , I thought pic & vid quality was among ur priorities?). Also how is video recording and pic capture at night?

Nokia 5800 XM is a very good purchase.
The camera quality is nice. And it has got flash, so night pictures are also kind of good.
