If you are a student and your dad is paying up...try not to exceed 15-17k.

If it is your money...go ahead ...burn it.
BTW what is so special with Android?

Buy once and buy good, better the money spent, better the android experience!

I think better go for 15k mobile first. May be in future you will see something better than today's handsets in cheap prices.

@OP: it looks like your novice in the smartphone world! so better dont burn 30K initially. so now buy any phone with moderate budget, then you can experience the features and available apps with it. After a year or two you can assess your needs and purchase accordingly.

Whats your min. specification?

My suggestion to you is don’t go directly for 30k. First go for 17k as you will get many good options with latest features in 17k also like you can have HTC Explorer, Samsung Galaxy Y, Motorola Defy, Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Galaxy Ace and the list goes on.

^ I am shocked and appalled that you did not specifically include SE Neo V in your list :O

@o.p, try to get hold of a Nexus S or Galaxy S if possible.
All other sub 20k Android phones are really not worth the money(yes;Neo V too!)

Galaxy S-I is still a nice performer.... If u love music,Then sony Erricson LIVE is for you!(14K)
But do consider the WP7.5 Phone Samsung Omnia W (20K)

u shud be more descriptive for wht u'll be expecting ur mobile to do for you... just usual calls, text, music etc... or u want to surf internet, watch videos, games (or lots of other stuffs a smartphone can do...) too on ur phone....
i'll say prioritize ur needs or usage thn fellow members here will be able to suggest u best otherwise asking for suggestion is useless....

Get Neo V or Galaxy R.
Don't spend much.
Or if you are willing to spend 30k then get Samsung Note or Sensation XE.

Not let me make it easy for you.
Try to get hands on all the 4 mobiles listed here and then decide...
