As stated above need a android under 20k. In terms of brands i wud only prefer Samsung. And No Nexus as my Dad wud not allow me to get without warranty.
Read on this forum that S advance may get direct JB if that the case i will surely go for it but if not i wud have to think again.

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?

My dear friend... dont even think of buying the S advance.... i went ahead and bought this despite reading all the network related issues and thinking samsung must have found some solution for the same.... but guess i was wrong.... within a day after buying the problems started to show up.... my phone is still in service centre... got hardware replaced twice.... still no use ....

my scincere request.... buy any other phone not this crap called S ADVANCE.........

We have got the official update. Where are you located and is your Sola an Indian version OR from eBay?

Battery is pretty good until you are data- / Wi-Fi / gaming-on-phone addict.

To be frank even after keeping DATA CONNECTION OFF... Im getting hardly 12hours of backup
