There is Galaxy Fit, Galaxy Y. But both have lot less RAM when compared to Optimus Net.
The Camera on Fit is 5 mp. Galaxy Y its 3. But Fit is a old phone. Get a Galaxy Y if you dont get Optimus NEt.
People might say to go for Dell XCD. But I would say to avoid it. Its just a rebranded ZTE
Neo
.
LG service is good. Don't worry. When my phone P500 was bricked, they gave it back after about 7 days (after replacing the motherboard).

Samsung = LG = Nokia = proper service in India.
LG wins in build quality hands down in the 10k & below section. i got only 3 complain against LG:
1) 1500mah battery that drains really fast. but depends as i am a heavy user.
2) LG mobile is never tuned for performance as Samsung mobile with similar specs scores more in benchmark.
3) Lastly, if LG wants to pack bloatware, they better pack some usable one. not hyper crappy sh*ts.
Lastly, this sounds odd but true. LG mobiles are best supported by DEVs. look at Galaxy Fit's XDA DEV section. got a ton of rom but most are either beta or alpha. on the other hand Optimus One got a ton of rom but most are perfectly stable and have some really good tweaks and scripts. same is true for Optimus 2X.
also idk why but Fit is not supported by Clockworkmod team (you must have it to use custom rom). a few days ago tried installing clockworkmod recovery on a friend's Fit but software doesn't recognizes mobile properly and keeps offering Huawei & some nameless options to select.
300-350Mb but enough for daily use. in my mobile 300Mb ram is always free
if i could have, i'll allocate another 100Mb to the GPU 
(around 95Mb is shared by GPU)Y got 2Mp.
People might say to go for Dell XCD. But I would say to avoid it. Its just a rebranded ZTE
discontinued hence finding one will be really difficult. also not recommended. better choice is HTC Explorer.

Why dont you reasearch a bit more and post a phone (with its link) and we can give recommendations if you have any other phone in mind
and as said above LG service aint that bad. Many people have a lot of problem just choosing from even 3.
yep...My main problem is that i couldn't even find this LG optimus net almost in all stores..that makes me feel for it.

avoid 525. its way too old & the Bada version on that mobile looks and feels more like a spiced up face-lifted java. even for a non-tech person it should be avoided.

You meant you could not find?
I have LG Optimus Net but not that impressed with it. But definitely better than the other Samsung models available for under 10k.
What is so strange about it? Haven't you come across cases where a real good selling product is not available in the market due to more demand and less production.

you mean a budget of Rs.10000 right? Or some other budget as your post is not very clear.

wait a month or so. you may be able to grab Galaxy Ace for 10-11k as Ace+ & Ace2 will be released soon so that will surely drive prices down.
