I am currently looking for a cheap Android based phone within 15K which should have the following features:-
[1] Large screen with good viewing angles and legibility under sunlight as well as a good responsive touchscreen. Most importantly it should clearly depict the in game movement while playing Angry birds (the main reason for buying the phone)
[2] 3G including video calling functions(in case I fancy using it in the future)
[3] WIFI and a lag-free user interface which should be capable of handling full length movies (will use a 16 gb Micro SD card with the phone)
[4] Excellent build quality capable of handling knocks and rough use as well rough operating conditions including high temperatures and dust
[5] 3.5mm headphone jack along with good sound quality
[6] Good call quality and excellent network signal reception
[7] Software should be easily upgradeable to newer versions of Google's Android

If u discount the video call feature then the LG Optimus One P500 ~ 12.8k is a solid option. It currently runs Froyo. (There was huge discussions on mobile review sites on whether it will get 2.3 upgrade as someone from LG facebook team posted 2.3 would need 1GHz processor and thus optimus one cant be upgraded)

It also has the best on class H/W for Android under 15k with,
3.2" HVGA capacitive screen
600MHz Qualcomm MSM7227 with Adreno 200 graphics
512MB RAM
Good build quality.
S/W Froyo 2.2 out of box (upgrade path not certain). If u are ready to install custom F/W from forums this should be taken care of. LG has sold over a million Optimus One phones and there should be decent support from the forums.
Reviews suggest OS as slightly laggy at times but not a deal breaker (Expected from a mid range phone)

IIRC Zeus gives better specs for like 10.9k (?) but there's no trusted review to rely upon :(. Techtree did a mi-300 review and said its quite good, so you CAN go for that, but it is highly advised you get the optimus one :)

even if one is brand conscious, galaxy 3 is a stupid choice compared to O1.

Huh? Samsung 'brand' is more trusted than LG brand in India, as proved by recent reader surveys in both Digit and Chip. Some people *do* care for that, even if you don't.

Now that G3 also has access to FroYo ROMs, one has to decide whether to go for O1 or G3..O1 has double the amount of RAM and higher screen resolution, but is G3 really 'insufficient' on these fronts? One has to test for themselves and decide..
