Checked LG Models but in my range, I only see Single Core Processor with not so good performance. Also Can't stretch for LG L9
Out of All models checked the SAMSUNG GALAXY S ADVANCE seems decent with all the right specs and available @ 16.5k for 16 GB Model at Flipkart. Is it a Good Buy considering it will get JB and has quite good specs? Please help!

Seems a good buy considering your requirements. Would also suggest infibeam as a buy option since you can use the code 'mangopeople' and get 10% of purchase price in the wallet.
Samsung Galaxy S Advance Price in India, Buy Samsung Galaxy S Advance, Reviews & Features, Samsung Mobiles India - Infibeam.com

So effective price 17.3k - 1.73k wallet cash ~ 15.57k

@meet6600 -> Get from HS18. If its a super deal it will expire fast. So get it soon. Its the best price in the market IINM.

I bought my phone from HS18. It was packed properly and shipped via DTDC. They are pretty reliable.

Hi Guys! Thanks for your help, but I was unable to take the Super Deal. Went to the Local Market, just to check on S Advance but Most Dealers reported a lot of connectivity issues with the Handset. Went about checking for other options and finally had to settle for a Sony Xperia Sola as I getting it for 13k. I know that, it is forever stuck on ICS officially but compared to S Advance, was the next best choice! Hope it turns out a bit reliable and overall first impression is awesome! The Timescape UI is lighter and faster. Happy that I got something Nice at a price that saved me money! :)

Yaar Budget wise I saved some money. Would get a Quad or more by the year end. E72 and Symbian were taking a lot of time getting used to as I have been using Android previously! :)

Class 10 is faster.... And if you ever root your phone and decide to use some of your sd card memory as internal memory for more apps and games, the class 10 will be more useful!! Class 10 would be better in the long run!

Bought Class 10 and surprisingly, the Phone is faster! BTW, Returned Xperia Sola after 4 Days as the ICS Update was buggy and Battery Back Up is the Worst I have seen! Dealer being my Friend helped me out and got LG Optimus L9 after paying 2k!
