Hi guys,
I need help deciding between these 3 phones

LG Nitro HD (13.5k Rs. landing price)
LG Nitro HD - Full phone specifications
Best Screen 326 ppi, Moderate Hardware, Excellent Modder/Dev support on XDA,Multiple stable Roms, Great Camera, Has Jellybean (from dev/mods)
Not quite new as its a 2011 model, not very strong GPU and CPU
Adreno 220, 1GB Ram, Scorpion 1.5GHz(Scorpion<Krait)

LG Escape (11-12k Rs. landing price)
LG Escape P870 - Full phone specifications
Basically an Lg Optimus F5, Good pixel density, Has official JellyBean from LG,
absolutely No Modder/Dev Support due to locked Bootloader, Has a "washed out" display according to some reviews, uncertain future updates due to locked Bootloader
Adreno 225, 1GB Ram, 1.5GHz Krait

Pantech Flex (9.5-10K landing price)
Pantech Flex P8010 - Full phone specifications
Cost effective, Looks Great, good pixel density, moderate camera, minimal modder/dev support on XDA, Great Color and Contrast, Software based Keys.
a little Blurry text due to SAMOLED screen
Adreno 225, 1GB Ram, 1.5 GHz Krait.

Pantech Burst (7-8K landing price)
Pantech Burst - Full phone specifications
Cost Effective, moderate to minimal modder/dev support,Great Color and Contrast
a little Blurry text due to SAMOLED screen
Capacitive keys not very responsive at times, moderate camera
Adreno 220, 1GB Ram, 1.5GHz Scorpion

My main requirements are
1)Build Quality (toughness)
2)Screen Quality
3)Modder/Dev support
4)Moderate Hardware so that i can play games like Shadowgun, Dead trigger etc
5)Battery Life
6)Cost effective
7)Network Unlockable

Well first of all none of these phones are officialy available in India, you have to import them.
Many user's have pantech burst in this forum, and i Would suggest you for that, at that rate it's an VFM
So, if any problem arises in these phones just forget about the service,regard these phones as use and throw

Pantech Perception has just released, finding one is very tough and find a unlocked one is impossible now. Better if u have budget then u can see Pantech Discover.
