Hello Everyone . I am going to buy new phone and my maximum budget is 17,000 Rs . Now I have two issue

1) I am completely new to android, so the desired phone should be easy to use
2)I am confused between following sets
A)SONY XPERIA GO- Good HW,SMALLL SCREEN,ISSUE OF APPS ON SD CARD
B)SONY XPERIA U- NO SD CARD

Can you please suggest any other good option ?

I'd also like to know the same, as I'm also considering same options.

But Sola & Go doesn't have LED Flash, Front Camera etc. As all of the phones have 512MB RAM, so I really don't find any advantage of going for Sola / Go over U.

Also I don't know whether ICS will be smooth on 512MB RAM.

And unlike @OP I can live with the 4GB User Memory.

+1 to Atrix 2
While Atrix 2 is good [infact a very high spec in this price range] ,
however don't Opt for Motorola if you are looking forward for constant upgrades.

Since its very lazy in releasing updates , plus it failed to complete its promise of upgrading Atrix 4G to ICS. :annoyed:

In my Mb860 , a fresh JellyBean[CM10] leaves around 380-400MB free RAM out of 817MB(actual 1GB DDR2).
However the new devices have DDR3 ram , I think. It will be faster.

It might lag a little if you install too much applications & games. O/W , its fluid. I have used LG L5 with 512MB Ram and single Core (800Mhz)Proccy. It was still fluid enough.

In low budget I think Desire V is good for around 14-14.5k, and if you want something good then get One S for around 22-23k
