I wouldn't recommend Moto, they have quite bad (almost non existing) after sales and will soon withdraw completely from Indian market.

Better take a look at Sony Xperia Go. Or even the Active.

if u want a rough and tough phone then defy xt and xperia go are the choices

otherwise as you can increase till 18k better go with Sony Xperia Sola around 18k or Samsung Galaxy S Advance around 18.5k :)

active have such small screen. under 15k, i'll suggest going for Xperia Ray or Defy Plus (not XT, processor is poor).

live with walkman and ray are not tough phones :p ..better buy sola then :)

as u want a tough phone then Xperia Go is a good choice with dust resistant and water resistant (upto 1m 30sec) as per the specs
