And Just deduct 10% of the price as ICICI bank & HDFC customer Netbanking has 10% Discount coupan + Master Card holder also get 10% Discount.

So Final price of current listed Galaxy Y set will be Rs. 6600-10%=5940/- Only.

Discount wil also apply on Micromax too

from the specs its easily worth the price. only drawback is its low resolution screen which limits the supporting apps & games. gives Galaxy Pop a run for its money.
