If you want only Samsung then go ahead and buy S Advance and pray that Samsung Facebook admin turns out to be right and your phone doesn't stay stuck on GB for life, as there is ZERO developer support for it so no hope of a custom ICS/JB port.

Well, your loss. Try to bring your father around on this point. I bought a SONY XPERIA Go after my Sony Ericsson C510 (first phone bought for me) which had initial issues with its Firmware, even as it aged the phone used to lag and have a myriad of issues.

Biggest problem with HTC One V's single-core processor is that even after it has got the ICS update, both the SONY phones tear it up in performance (and once these get ICS -->JB treatment the HTC is gone); Also the graphics sub-system of the One V is not upto mark.

Go through the reviews of the phone(s) I have given it is painted all over, only Sun Spider which is very biased to ICS equipped phones is the benchmark where the HTC One V is up, rest everywhere it is firmly at the tail end.

Usage time will be as long as you want but with diminishing returns as the device gets older.

Galaxy S Advance and Ace II might get a direct update to JB (rumoured --> Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 and S Advance to skip ICS, get JB - GSMArena.com news)

Hope this helps, Cheerio!

now since the samsung has officialy declare that S advance will get JB update soon.. will it be a gud choice?

Yes i know it has network issues.. but my question is: Will the network issue will be solved after JB update or these "Issues" depends on hardware so der is no chance of it being solved?

If it is a confirmed hardware issue no amount of firmware revisions / change in the OS will completely resolve the issue. It will nag like a thorn in your skin, the skin healed over it but that does not stop it from hurting you.
