I have little doubt over Xperia P because of it's performance and its hasn't got any custom support..Even Htc One V beats it in quadrant..

Xperia P for 22k is the best option and after that comes Sensation which is also available for the same price.
And you can also have a look at Xperia S for 27-28k.Or Galaxy Note for 29-30k

I am sorry but do you buy smartphones from Palika Bazaar? Such rates are unavailable on any online store or a local dealer in my town. (with all due respect ;) )

LOL...no man.
There are plenty of coupons which are there or use to come which you can apply and get them at the prices mentioned above, there are chances that you have to wait for a couple of days so that you get the best deal.

i had few 10% ebay coupon but didnt used them..unfortunately 10% coupons can not be used by others..you can use generic 5% coupons in ebay (like icici or visa/mastercard 5% discount coupons)
