suggest a phone under 10k

if you are not too serious on camera, check LG Optimus One.

You can take a reference from this site

and @desiibond is right. LG optimus is also a better option.

i need a min 5 mega pixel camera that does a decent job

Galexy Ace is there with 5MP camera but u need to shell out 4-5 more for it

wont be able to shell out extra are there any good camera phones by sony ericcson

if android is not on priority list then nokia c6, x6 is there but then need shell out atlest 2k extra

frankly is the cam most imp factor ... its differ from user to user ..

but frankly i hardly use the same thats i gone for LG O1 ...

optimus one camera is ok for just a click or two sometimes. but if you want a mobile with camera as top priority, stay away from O1. no flash & even under low light pic quality is terrible. & once you tap the volume keys (zoom),,,,,,,,, terrible in camera dept. but rest everything is in right track.

so, try this: Sony Ericsson Hazel @ 10k.

hazel is without a 3.5 mm jack
