Buy Tipo. It's quite a lot better than Galaxy Y.

neither. increase budget to around 12-15k then think about upgrading. Ninja 4 will actually be a downgrade and Tipo will be a small upgrade not worth it.

wait and increase budget in the meantime. You'll need at least ~12k for Xperia LWW or Defy Plus if you want a proper upgrade.

Under 9.5k there is one mobile you can look out for: Huawei IDEOS X5

What about mini pro?

mini pro cost 12-13k. mini cost 9.5-10k and is a nice piece but screen will remain same. If you are upgrading better do an all round upgrade with bigger display also.

Is there really any point buying the Defy Plus now thats Motorola is pulling out of India? in case something goes wrong, you'll have to live with a brick.

they'll not launch any new mobile here but existing mobiles will get warranty.

First of all you made a mistake buying the Y. Wait, increase budget > 15k then buy.

yes because galaxy ace is a new phone! *sarcasm* Ace is overpriced crap. I dont know how its still above 10k with a msm7227T

@OP listen to Sam, get the huawei or wait till you can increase your budget. If you want a significant upgrade in your budget get the xperia mini..but be vary of the 3 inch screen.

i guess u r using ussr rom...
i encountered the same problems.
first of all change the rom to either evolution 2.1 or hyperion ..awesome roms.repencis is also good.
how i fixed it was used a blackberry charger.then placed it in raw rice for a night then it started charging properly.
then i immediately switched back to repencis.
