1) HTC Incredible S. Without any doubts.

Apart from the loudspeaker .. which isnt too loud and sound cracks a bit when cranked up to higher levels.. the phone is just awesome. I clocked 16 hrs on moderate usage.

2) If not android and you love photography.. then Nokia N8 has to be the obvious choice.

BUT..

You say 30k.. why not wait till June 3 and get yourself the Samsung Galaxy S II ??
it ll give you both of the above mentioned good points.

Dell streak is old. Dell Venue is much better, even with smaller display. Among these three, I would pick Incredible S. Getting D:HD is utter waste of money as phones like LG Optimus 2X, I:S, Xperia Arc, Xperia Play are much much much much better than this phone.

My suggestion though is to wait for SGSII, which will be launched in India tomorrow (25th May).

So the launch date is 25th.. good to be updated on that.

Purchasing any other phone other than the S2 seems really odd. Even if it's launched with the Tegra 2 and SLCD.. i think the cam and developer's support should guarantee that the phone is still worthy of a purchase.

Guys i have made up my mind to buy the samsung galaxy S II. Looking AT THE FEATURES ITS REALLY AWESOME. How is it priced in india? And generally how is the battery backup of the phone? Of course we cannot expect a lot from a powerful smartfone but at least if it comes for a day its enough for me.

Is it much better than the incredible s?

PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT THE PRICING AND THE BUILD QUALITY OF SAMSUNG. BUILD QUALITY IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME.

On paper, it is much much much better than I:S. Build quality is much better than that of SGS. Though SGS feels plasticky, there are no reports from my friends using it about cracking on fall etc so SGSII will definitely be much better.

on battery backup, none of the droids give 24hrs battery life on heavy use. you do have to charge the phone at end of the day. SGSII will have better battery life compared to current gen phones.

SGSII is ****ed up with Audio Quality in earphones. Check XDA.
Galaxy S is 10x better at audio quality in earphones.
