Actually i dont think there even is anyother qwerty in that price range, at least not that i know of. In fact the only other android qwerty phones i can think of are the Milestone and the Desire Z which are 20k+

Last I knew, Superczar (fellow member) was planning to sell his Moto Milestone. Should fit your budget. Nothing beats it at that price level. Pretty awesome phone !!

i bought samsung galaxy 551, 12.5k +tax, for that money its awesome.

drawbacks are - resolution (some games [air traffic] dont scale down) , no dedicated gfx.

note: gps reception is amazing, screen readability in sun is 50% better compared to a n97
