Otherwise G-Note.

If you can extend your budget a little then go for Galaxy Note.
Else Galaxy SII is better.

Well Xperia S will not be coming to India atleast before a month and will be priced around 30-35k.
I agree with you the Note is lil big but not that big that it can't get fit is your pocket.Its an amazing device and is worth every penny.I suggest you to have a look at it and use it for a while and then decide.
I won't suggest you to buy S2 as it is pretty old and common now.And hopefully its price will decrease in sometime...
And have a look at HTC Sensation XE also its a very good phone.
I haven't used RZR so won't comment on that.

I would suggest you to go for Sensation XE. As per my experience, Sensation XE beats Galaxy S 2. Plus the bundled beats audio are just fab. The phone will cost you around 30k. I would suggest you to look for XE in the local stores. Online... you will have to pay 1.5k more (Letsbuy price: 31.5K)

Sh!t, forgot about Droid RAZR, its great. But keep in kind it has locked bootloader, otherwise a great phone.
Will you really bear a LCD screen in Xperia S? And no way it will be 35k, max 31-32k.
So in short, either GS II or Razr. Or Note if you bear its size.
Forget others I'll say.......

abhidev,
I don't understand why you had to resurrect this ancient thread ?:-?
And second FYI Galaxy Nexus screen is way dimmer than Xperia S's super bright display. And you stated the complete opposite.

Anyway mods lock this thread so nobody else raises it back from the dead.
