PS- phone must have official ics support, don't care when but a planned support must exist, must have good graphics comparable with mali 400, dual core cpu preferred, 1GB ram preferred, atleast 16GB space needed or microsd support. The lisy list is pretty short, comes to 4 models i had listed, convince me to pick one.

I think sgs2 meets all my needs, can i get it for 25k and does it support ics?

I am writing this from my nokia 5800, so excuse any spelling mistakes.

T

you can easily get it for 26k now

and make sure that you buy May'12: Import Date on the box ......it comes with ICS 4.0.3 preloaded

and go for it

Atrix2? Sensation too is a viable candidate. Else you have mobiles like Xperia P and overpriced S2 (i mean its price is yet to be reduced)

Xperia P and Sensation are the best options for you, both available for 22k

you can get Samsung S2 for 26.6K at eBay with 1 year Manufacturing warranty.......
other options are Samsung Galaxy Advance or Sony Xperia P ;-)

xperia P is nice, but heard that the 1320mah battery just sucks, need more input on that, motorola is good but i doubt its support services.

I won't be buying cells from ebay, too much of a gamble, i'll just wait for SGS II for 25k, maybe by july/august?

Btw does sensation support ics? Officially?

Yes.It supports ICS

i dunno why you feel that but eBay is now offering the Samsung Galaxy S2 at around 25K after applying 7.5% special samsung coupon.
original price is Rs. 27,650/- so less 7.5% @ 27,650 = 2073 (around 2000) which total turns the phone to Rs. 25,650/- ......

The phone do comes with 1year Manufacturing Warranty and also the latest model i.e. I9100

I think its a great deal ..... :wink:

But I won't suggest anyone to buy such a old handset at such a huge price.

25k is not a bad price. still better than most competing Androids at that price.

A remember a time after S2 was release(around 8 months back), it was available for 28k very easily that time and still 25-26k for that device just because of the fluctuating dollar rates...huh...
The same is the case with Note

never dealt with them so no idea though they have COD but i myself purchased Samsung S2 from eBay at Rs. 26,650/- last Friday (15.06.12) and I received the phone by Tuesday (19.06.12)

It was complete sealed pack and also comes with 1 Year Manufacturing Warranty

Also I used BIGDADDY Coupon, as a free gift i will get MicroMax 400R Router

Show me a phone under 25k with these specs.

Sensation and Xperia P for 22k are good too....
And extending a budget lil bit can give you much better options like Xpeira S and Note for 28-29k

Xperia S is nice, but I can spend max 25k.
