please suggest android 2.3 phone around 7K range

[cool_cat]

Hi,
I am looking for a cheap android phone atleast android 2.3 OS and around Rs7000 range. I find Idea Blade and Galaxy Y are the locally available options.
Is there any other Phones recommended?

Also, a shop owner said Rs6400 for Galaxy Y(new) although He needs tomorrow to verify this price. while in other shops they asks Rs7100-7400 range. Idea Blade, I haven't inquired price.

open for purchase from reliable online stores if price advantage is there. do share.

Do not go for HTC explorer, it has a paltry 90mb onboard storage for apps. Yes I know apps can be moved to SD card but all apps still take some space on internal memory.

apps like skype & whatsapp each take around 8 mb of internal storage.

Please suggest an alternative if you are shooting down the best choice in that budget.
btw HTC explorer has 110 MB Out of the Box (I bought the phone a month back)

Karbonn A7, Galaxy Y & LG optimus L3 are good in this range. Though they do come with their own negatives. personally for me 320x240 resolution of Galaxy Y and L3 is a deal breaker (maybe not for you)

I would suggest you to also consider the processor of the phone you are suggesting.
