Also, ny1 knows whether there are ny other versions of the Nexus S are available in the market ?
Just to make sure that i'm buying the right Nexus S you are mentioning ? (I want to make sure that the 18.8k told shop was selling the Nexus S only)

Samsung Google Nexus S I9023 or Samsung i9020 are the model numbers, right ?
Ny other things to check ?

Just check which panel are they providing.
S-lCd or SuperAMOLED.
i Know that in india only S-lCd panels are there.

But am looking for a SuperAMOLED panel too.

Good to know that you updated your post but i think you are being little harsh !
When i got this my priorities were good audio quality , good android experience ,good screen and a OK camera . At 21K i couldnt find any other better options , i would like to know if you can mention some good options since i will be gifting a phone to my younger brother soon @ 18-20k budget range , i will respect your opinion .

except for being old galaxy S is still the king of single core phones..
you have to tweak it to get full use out of it...
it still has the best GPU on a single core phone, screen is gorgeous, audio quality is amazing.. (read through any audio forum and you will see how good it is).. and most importantly there is a big dev community developing for galaxy S...but as a camera phone I would not recommend it, lack of flash and a dedicated camera key is a big letdown... other than that for games, movies, music it's can beat any single core phone hands down..
sorry for sounding like a salesman.. but I own a galaxy S and the recent update has made it even faster and awesome..

So..
Finally, i had to ask you guys this..

I was searching for my Google Nexus S for a long time and i couldn't find it anywhere or within the price bracket of 18-19k.
I even dreamed of Nexus S....

So now i need to find another phone.
I have the same 20k budget.
And

the requirements are the same

1. | Budget ? | 20k

11. | Any specific mobile phones in consideration?| Nexus S,Galaxy S

12. Any other info that you want to share
Well, after 3 years of life with phones in the 8k bracket, i'm going for my first multipurpose phone. I had a 6681(2nd hand),W300(one i have even now), Micromax Q2,Micromax Q75.
I want a good cam nd faster phone.
I want to enjoy the high resolution pictures and Touch Screen.

* I love gaming on my PC, nd i'm sure i'll love gaming on the go
* I dont even have a simple point to shoot cam nd i love to take pictues,so i want a pretty decent cam since my dad wont buy me a camera.
* Nd telling overall, it is my first phone with this much spending in it. and i'll be using it to the most for sure.(atleast for the first year )


I've bought my previous phones from the suggestions given by you guys and i believe in you guys very much.

so suggest me what to do ?
Should i wait for Galaxy R to come ? (I dont think it will be priced within this budget,will it be ?)
Should i go for Galaxy S or SL or Optimus black,Defy+ ? If yes, which should I choose ?
Or should i keep searching ?

You can buy it from letsbuy and can get a discount of 1200 with the help of coupon on 19999 that means it will cost u only 18800.But currently it is unavailable.
You can send ur email id to them and they will intimate u when it is available.

 

[sinoop_joy]

I've been checking letsbuy.com and flipcart.com for almost a month (almost everyday ).
It was 'Out of stock' whenever i checked.

It is available in ebay though. But it cost around 20,500+


Anyone know is it safe to go n buy from here ??
Will i get international warranty ?

Ebay.in is a good and faithful site... Just c the seller information and feedback and u can anytime contact them..some dealers give manufacturer warranty while some give seller warranty.. So do chek it b4 buying...

 

[ysmonyog]

Galaxy s(i9000) is available at flipkart at just 20k..

Thanks tousif for the information.
I was just about to move out to purchase this phone for 21.5K. By chance I read this post, checked prices at flipkart.com and placed order over telephone... and that too on COD basis.
