under 10K it is explorer or optimus net both has it's pro and cons.. optimus net has better internal storage and camera(autofocus, don't know about quality)..
90MB internal storage is way less will not recommend who wants lot of apps and games.. but enough for few apps.. even you can transfer app to SD card but it still remains little bit in internal storage that fills up very fast.. ...

Explorer
I have used Explorer and its an amazing phone, haven't got my hands on LG optimus net so can't say about it.
I suggest you to get Explorer

I'v had my hands on the Optimus Net personally, for a short while, and it felt better than Explorer. And its specs are better too - better batter, more memory, etc. Explorer cam without AF is a severe limitation. Pic quality isn't good either. However, Explorer looks better than the Net. So make sure you check it out before buying, if external looks and build matter more than the internals.

I am looking to replace my dad's old Sammy J150;
1. Budget?
Rs.5000 (can strech by 500 or so)
2. Display type and size?
No touchscreen; Largest screen Size possible; fonts must be clear and legible
3. Form Factor? bar, slider, flip?
Only phones suited for easy one handed operation (so that rules flip/slide). Phones which are slim and compact will be added bonus
4. Preferred choice of brand?
Dad is familiar using Noka and Samsung OS, so these are preffered
5. Preferred input method (QWERTY, touchscreen, numpad, touch-n-type).
No touchscreen, QWERTY will add to bulk
6. What camera option you want? Please specify need for flash, autofocus, front facing camera.
No preference - anything 2+ MP will do
7. Preferred operating system? (Android, Symbian, iOS, Windows Phone etc).
Nokia (symbian) and Samsung OS
8. Preferred connectivity options (3G, Wifi etc)Please specify clearly.
minimum just be able to make/recieve calls
9. Preferred applications (Flash, Swype, GPS, etc)?
No preference
10. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, mails, internet, gaming etc)?
Calling and texting only
11. Any specific mobile phones in consideration?
None
12. Any other info that you want to share
Big easy to type keypad will be added bonus ; also slim and compact phones will also score brownie points as J150 dad is using is a very slim/compact phone

HTC Explorer for 8k is the best option.
And if you are not a android fan, then you will be one after using it

check Samsung Primo.
You want a smartphone or a feature phone? cause you have mainly 2 option: HTC Explorer or Nokia Asha series. The latter may have 1Ghz processor for showoff but can't use it.

The best and cheap phone is HTC Explorer.
Or for 12.5k you can get Sony Live With Walkman with a front facing camera

hi there
i dont want to create separate thread so just posting here might help me in ths regard
my budget 8-10k
for this movement iam convinced to go for htc explorer but just got to hold after knowing the news of sony tipo might release next month or so
spec wise its good and its getting with ics also
the expected price is in 9.5-10k which i can extend
but iam curious know whether it falls in budget or not
because i have to wait for 1month or so
so tell friends is worth to wait or go for explorer as of now
thanks

better to wait. It won't be great as most likely have same internals as Explorer but ICS is good enough reason.

unless you need to do a lot of typing or a SMS freak, better go for one with a bigger screen. If you want one with QWERTY, just hold on for a month. Galaxy Chat should be here by then. ICS based but specs have degraded from Y Pro.
Else the usual duo of Explorer or Net. Or maybe Tipo (again may take long time to get here).

this is Galaxy Chat
will cost around 7k considering the specs. low resolution screen, poor camera. only good thing is the screen is a big one and its ICS.
