HTC Explorer. Else look for Android from Spice or Micromax. Don't buy STAR or Asha. Not worth the pricetag.

EDIT: Do check Motorola Fire.

if you are considering micromax then do look at I don't know model number but which has 5 inch screen all good feature I believe under 10K it is 9K something..

check Homeshop 18 thread some one has posted offer for htc explorer at 7K around.

my suggestion and recommendation is to wait collect more and buy mobile at least around 15K..

so its better to buy ICS enabled mobile
