Galaxy Y is the cheapest android phone out there.
But if you want a good android phone in low rate then you have to extend your budget to 8k so that you can atleast get Explorer.
And I strongly suggest you to buy android.

@gt@_guy, it'll be best if you can wait and increase your budget. you won't find much difference if you shift from a 3.2" mobile to another 3.2" mobile. Rather wait for sometime and try raising your budget till ~10k then you can have mobiles that are really worth the money.

Else, HTC Explorer or LG Optimus Net. Avoid Wave. Samsung will abandon BADA platform soon and it has extremely limited app support.

i think galaxy y would not be a good deal for me coz im having a phone with hi-res screen & galaxy y will be a downgrade ..... will wait & increase my budget !

Good decision because i am feeling the same even if difference is not too much.
I reccomend getting an wvga screen phone.
