Do you need Dual SIM card ? Then get the LG Optimus Net Dual P698

else the HTC Explorer is the choice for single SIM :wink:

once you have bought Galaxy Y.
All you will say is that its not a Good Phone.

The biggest downside is its low-res ,low ppi ,small screen.

HTC Explorer has better Camera and Screen in comparison to Galaxy Y.

The functinality of Galaxy Y is limited by its QVGA screen whereas HVGA screen of HTC Explorer allows max. app support from Play STORE.

Under 10k Only HTC Explorer and Galaxy Y are available as good options.

Phones on Flipkart are mostly overpriced.

Depends on individual perception. Some like the service of Flipkart, so it differs!

Explorer costs 8k, and is a very good phone.
But if you want a good cam and latest android then I think you should extend your budget and get Live With Walkman for 12.5-13k

no not. I don't know where u got these prices from but surely they are looting customers. I got explorer at Rs 7765. Aniwz, go to flipkart and choose cash on delivery and buy and hurry, prices gonna increase because rupee value again fallen (as per a news channel)

Its not about Individual Perception.
Its about Price.:wink:

Flipkart has overpriced Phones and thats a Fact not a Perception.:)


There is no point in Paying 9k for a Phone which easily available for 8.5k online and some have managed to get it for as low as 8k.No Rule of perception Here.:wink:

one personal advice: never wait for laptops, mobiles and tablets to get launched. there are 3 possible outcomes: it'll be launched in a few weeks time, it'll be launched in few months time, it won't be launched at all. and usually its the 2nd option. if you wait, you may have to wait for more than 2-3 months. think about it.

htc desire will not be good as you can think of a device of 600mhz running ics afaik 1.2ghz ics tables still lag. it will be as running ics on explorer. specs

Perception here refers to how the customer connects with Flipkart, because some may not mind paying a little more when they get reliable service, replacement guarantee.
