Here is my shortlisted list

GSM+CDMA

Motorola XT800 15,699

Samsung Galaxy Ace Duos (SCH-i589) CDMA and GSM - dual-SIM Dual Active technology 16,900

GSM+GSM

LG Optimus Net Dual GSM+GSM - 3.2-inch - 10,049

Samsung Galaxy Y Duos GSM+GSM, 3.14 Inches - 8990 (Screen is just too small)

HTC T328w Wind

Motorola XT531

Thing I noted, GSM + CDMA, Only CDMA SIM Can have internet. GSM Internet you cant use it.

Only Galaxy Ace Duos has dual-SIM Dual Active but sadly its GSM + CDMA (Not aware of any good CDMA plans) so would prefer GSM + GSM

Is Samsung launching Galaxy Ace Duos for GSM + GSM ?

Please help..

Where did you guys see the HTC desire C being Dual Sim? Its priced similar to the Ace Duos but its single sim only. The Desise V is dual sim but thats about 21k.

Ace Duos should be the final winner in my opinion

Please check the Samsung Ace DUOS S6802 before buying at any Samsung Shop. I had tried it for a week or so and I would say that it's overpriced by 3k now and is just a basic Android with Plastic all around. Also may or may not appeal to wider audience as to me it was too much plastic and under powered to handle 2.3 gingerbread.

Thanks for sharing. Finally planning to go with Samsung Ace only. Reason being reputation & enough service centers. Waiting for good discount.

I really liked A9 & Spice 425 as said by @Pat but after sales can be a big problem.

Good Luck! Reputation vise Yes But I would request you too Hang On as more DUAL SIM devices to come like one from Sony. So if you can hold on for some time You may get good choices to go for or may be HTC Desire V get a price drop!!
