Hi,

I am looking for a smart phone (preferably android) with Dual Core processor, Decent Graphics and atleast 8 GB internal memory. I just saw Optimus L9 in HS18 which is around 15k after applying the gift coupon. But it has 4 GB internal memory (don't know how much is usable).

Thanks!

But it only has 512 MB RAM, how would that impact gaming (sorry If this is a silly question, I dont have much knowledge about mobile hardware). How good is Pantech Burst as compared to Sola...I know it would mean no warranty?

Pantech burst is a dozen times better than Sola, burst is as good as 25k smartphones in terms of hardware specs, a slight low battery but nothing that won't get you a day of normal usage.

PS: 512MB RAM means you can play 99% of games incl. super HD games, my funbook has 512MB RAM yet it can play shadowgun and dead trigger fluently. Maybe one or two really taxing games will lag a bit.
