20k does not qualify remotely as cheap.

Apparently NONE of the current gen sub 10k phones are getting ICS. Optimus Net is the only sub-10k phone with hardware fully capable of using ICS but neither LG or the modding community is interested in this phone.

EDIT: And perhaps add newer phones like LG Optimus L3 E400 to the list. But still support seems nil.

AFAIK only the Xperia Mini Pro has ICS right ? Does the Xperia Mini also have ICS support ?

The time is not right to buy a new entry level or midrange phone... All companies have let us down... Wait for a few months, and hope some decent phones are released.

P.S. LG L3 is a piece of rotten garbage covered in sh!t. Never think of buying that ugly SOB...

I think you are mistaken about every spec :p

already launched
no ICS ...just gingerbread though they say they will update it soon to ICS
dual core only in the 5inch phone

These are some of the good and not so expensive devices with ICS ...but i still say that you are spending 13k ..collect a little more and spend it on HTC ONE V which is for 16.5-17k :)

Spice, Micromax, Karbonn and every other chinese junk importer is OFF my list when I spend anything more than 3k.

Noticed that hence this thread. My Galaxy Y was stolen sometime in November last year. I was hearing rumors of cheap ICS since then and right now the best ICS devices seem to be Micromax or Milagrow tablets that sadly lack 3G. :oops:

Did not notice till you posted this that it has QVGA screen even though it *should* have HVGA at that screen size. Shite!!!


Anyway, back to ICS ports, which of the Galaxy series phones officially are supported by CM9 ? And what about Idea Blade ?

I actually depends. I bought LWW coz I want a small android phone for comfortable bike ride while the phone is in my jeans pocket.

Note : Though I have complained about Live with Walkman's performance in ICS in another thread, it is in comparison between Sony moded 2.3 and 4.0. Else its the best cheap ICS phone.

What is the difference between Walkman and Mini ? Walkman has 3.2" screen over Mini's 3" screen right ? Every other aspect in the specs seems identical.
