Its a good phone abut according to review I read here Huawei Ascend G330 Review | Mobile Phones | CNET UK , it says it has poor battery life and it does not have Jelly Bean. As far as I know from the readings, Jelly Beans gives better performance.

for nimbuzz, fringe any Nokia Asha will do but for skype you'll need Windows Phone. And i am not sure if Lumia 510 supports the above mentioned apps.

don't go for any of these. tipo lags, exlorer has extremely low internal memory, chat has small display & bad resolution. instead save more and wait a month. Once Xperia E is widely available, it'll cost you ~9k

Sir,if I cant wait for a month what will you recommend?

As of now Huawei Ascend G300 is a decent phone under 10k range.It has fairly good performace and custom ROMs are available too. Or else you can wait like sam suggested, but still I seriously doubt the display quality of Xperia E with ~165ppi.
 
Any other advice please guys its urgent!?

You could always go for a Karbonn or a Micromaxx. Try to find their customer care centres in your city, and if you can, go for one of these. They offer great value for money. Issues are : Heating up after moderate usage and SOMETIMES crashes if multitasking is being done.
Cheers !! :) Do say what you decided to go with !!

You could spend 1k more and but the Lumia 520 at 9.5k from univercell. Its WP8 though.

Is Huawei Ascend G510 and Huawei Ascend Y300 released in India? Both these phones have very good specification. But I do not know if they are released in India.
