Android Phone Under 15k
In order to make this decision , you need to have your requirements clear.
What O1 will give you
1. Better resolution screen (320 X 480 vs 240 X 400 for 551). It does make a difference in the way images, fonts, and icons look on the screen
2. Froyo 2.2 with a promise of upgrade to gingerbread 2.3
3. Higher RAM of 512 MB. Higher ROM as with froyo, compatible apps can be installed on SD card
4. Snappy performance and excellent touch screen response
What Galaxy 551 will give you
1. QWERTY keypad . No matter what the manufacturers may say, it IS easier to type using a physical keypad. Heavy texters will not find only a touchscreen fulfilling their needs
2. Samsung brand name (My 2 cents - this is a purely a perception of the Indian junta. however, resale value for a samsung phone may be higher)
I am an owner of LG O1 - all the 4 points mentioned above were important to me and QWERTY keyboard wasn't. Hence, an easy choice for me. However, everyone has to decide for himself/ herself because it is dependent on the requirement of the user. As I read on some forum - It doesnt matter how smart the phone is, the only thing that matters if it is smart enough for you.

rightly said, your choice should purely depend on your requirements even i had to make a hard choice between the two phones, and I choose samsung for my requirement. Choosing a samsung or LG is your personal preferrence depending on what features you give importance. Just because other choose XXX brand does not mean you should go blindly for it, even you can check out sony xperia, HTC wildfire also. In my homework first I compared
LG Optimus, HTC Wildfire, Sony Xperia Mini, Samsung Galaxy 551, and then went on shortlisting ,,,,
Another thing rightly said is indian junta go by brand name if this would have been a choice between samsung n nokia most would have given nokia as their choice, mostly it was like for indians mobile phone means nokia, such was the market capture of nokia some years ago, then ultimately many people got fed up of good old nokia and moved away from it, I dont think rarely you could find anyone who hasnt owned a nokia ,,, even yesterday my colleague also had some prob with her phone and was looking to buy a new phone. I suggested her LG optimus one so that I can see and feel how it looks as I already have galaxy 551,
but her reply was,,,
I WANT ONLY NOKIA WITH 3.5 MP CAMERA AND GOOD MUSIC..
I told if you want good music and camera then go for SE,, but she was like,, I WANT ONLY NOKIA,,,
girls girls told her then do as u wish.....
