I was contemplating on which model to buy. I had one thing clear in my mind that I'm only gonnu buy a android mobile. That eliminated Nokia from the list. Not that I'm anti-Nokia. Infact, my first mobile was a Nokia model. It depends on what the purchasing decision is. If sturdiness is on the top of the purchase criteria, then Nokia has to top it.
I was looking for a value for money android phone. Looking at various models in the internet, I decided that I'll buy Motorola Charm. At first sight, I thought it resembled an old blackberry model. But the features that the mobile offered was good enough for me. I went to a showroom and was about to buy that. Then came the twist in the tale. The salesman in the shop showed me one of the latest offerings from Sony in the mid-budget segment, Xperia Mini pro with a price tag of around Rs 15,000 and I got a first hand experience in the shop.
Eventhough, Xperia mini pro is a little bulkier(as it has a qwerty key pad), with a camera of 5MP, the experience was amazing, which more or less convinced me that this had to be best android mobile available for that price tag. Then I said to myself, let me not be in a hurry to buy a phone now. I decided to surf for some better models before finally buying one
Following are some of the models that are worth considering before making a final decision
