Hi brother, I like Motorola FIRE because It has the most slim stunning looks and very comfortable to use. And I love this phone.
These mobile are good for those people who wants to experience the Android. For top level experience, I suggest all to buy mobile of around 15-16K.
LG Optimus One P500 is missing from your list. It’s really a best, pretty and value for money phone below 10k.
Yes, LG Optimus One P500 is a good mobile and it’s price is around 10k now. But for the same price you can get LG Optimus NET which has better hardware.
Thanks for your comment Mayur 🙂

Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 looks good although the screen size is a bit small. I wouldn’t go for MTS or Micromax..
