thanks ...... need a few more suggestions guys .....pls

Optimus one is the most VFM right now....U can also consider Dell XCD28 and samsung galaxy 3

Dell XCD28 | Dell India

Lg optimus one or motorola charm, has a capacitive touchscreen and a qwerty keypad for around 13k. But still runs on android 2.1 eclair

check out Dell XCD28 or HTC wildfire.

thanks for suggestion guys.... going out to check LG optimus one and HTC wildfire ... i seem to like the HTC wildfire more... lets see .. whether i can get that ...

Optimus One is loads better than Wildfire which has a stretched screen and resolution issues making the display look really bad. Just get an Optimus One, it's the most vfm phone in that range, and I can vouch for it since I own one

@prateek_san, do check Samsung 551. it satisfies at least one of your needs (got QWERTY)

Dell xcd28 has a resistive screen, beware. Lg optimus one is lot better than xcd28 or wildfire

guys thanks a lot .... i got the LG optimus and its fcking amazing .... yeah... i love android

Even I am thinking of making a choice between the following

Source: univercell.in

Samsung I5503 Galaxy5 --- 8846 rs
HTC A3333 Wildfire ------ 13140 rs
LG GT540 Optimus ---------- 10577
Micromax A60 ----------- 6410
Sony ericsson XPERIA X10 mini --- 12356

I am looking for a reliable phone having android (lolz even I am new to android, but would love to try something new in technology, as technology is rapidly changing) , WIFI is must for me, and above phones all have it. Also looking for QWETY keypad as always using touch on move will be pain, and I think only SONY has the QWERTY keypad . Have to make a choice soon

se x10 mini pro has the qwerty keypad, it is small in size, but it has small screen and small battery, cost would be 1.2k higher than x10 mini

The phone is available at flipkart for Rs. 12799. While the phone has not been officially launched in India & no reviews are available either at phonearena or gsmarena. However, the phone looks quite promising at the price (except for camera)

@sam.shab

He wants a physical qwerty so galaxy 3 is out of option.
And if not I think he should opt for optimus one than galaxy 3.

Galaxy 3 and Galaxy 551 are different phones.

The best option among these is LG Optimus GT540 n I'm a happy user. The only issues I have with this phone is the low internal memory (140mb), which means I cant install more than approx 100apps at a time. Also, the touch screen isnt as good as a capacitive screen, but its the best of resistive screens at that price. So, instead of buying this phone, u shud add Rs.1.5K to ur budget n get the best phone in this category, called the LG Optimus One P500. Since, u are new to the Android world, u must know that Android 2.1 (OS on these phones) does not allow u to install apps/games on the SD card, which means that u must go for LG Optimus One as it runs on Android 2.2, which allows installation on SD card and has double amt of RAM.

Go for optimus one
