gettin a better os out of the box holds more preference to me
and l9 has ics
you're sure it is below 20k in retail shops
the screenis too big but other than that its too good to be under 20k

it's ok..was just kidding..:D

desire x is a good phone but not worthy for 15k+..even lenovo p700 which is getting in 12k is beating desire x by performance..

optimus l9 is way better than that..

Desire X is a good option, easily available for 18k in local market.

mobile store (online) is selling LG Optimus L9 for 18,490. Expect retail price to be same or at least below 19k. else you can always find S Advanced for same pricing but for games, bigger screen is like a bonus.

Well there is no other phone better than in that price bracket so that is the reason I suggest that to everyone.

optimus l9 and galaxy s advance both are priced at 18.5k online. Both are very good options under 20k.
