Best Under 10k..

First of all, i don't want to compare this sony phone with some plastic toys available with big screen and 1ghz processors..
It's like comparing mercedes with maruti suzuki...LOL!!
Sony,Samsung,Htc,LG,Motorola...thats enough,trust me guys you will regret sooner or later buying the others.

Pros.

1) It is the only smartphone under 12k having ICS.(As i told you earlier toys not considered..only smartphones).It is always good to have the latest platform.

2)A good display with a pixel density of 180ppi..means sharper display,and personally from sony's display is far better than it's competitors.

well the rest specs are more over common..

Now regarding some concerns shown in one of the reviews

1) 800 Mhz processor-enough to run ics? In fact yes. ICS is lighter than GB..Check the latest phones, hTC desire c is clocked at 600Mhz.Moreover,a phone is not run only buy a processor.Each and every semiconductor is contributing and that is where your toys fails to deliver.
2)No 4 inch screen?????LOL!!!From what i seen in flipkart LG optimus black is the cheapest android with a 4 inch screen which costs 17k..(No toys!!!)
3)Regarding Internal memory....TOTAL memory is 2.9gb in which 2.5 is user accessible,which is more than enough to install hundreds of apps..

Now comparing with the other phones currently available in market , most of it's competitors are outdated phones'released before an year or more(Explorer,xperia mini,ace etc).It is always good to buy the latest , whatever gadget u are buying.
Defy mini is a good one,which is water and dust resistant and have front cam..but lacks ics.
So my word...Go for it..

Galaxy Y vs. Tipo ???????

@nishanth:
no offence but how can u even think of comparing galaxy Y with Tipo.
Tipo runs android 4.0 vs. 2.3 of GAlaxy Y, has a 3.2" HVGA display vs. 3.0" QVGA, has 512MB RAM vs. 290MB, has a Adreno200 GPU (SGY doesn't have one), has 2.5 gigs of internal memory vs. 190MB of SGY, a 1500Mah battery vs. 1200Mah and a 3.2MP camera vs. 2.0MP of the galaxy Y.
Acc. to me its presently a steal deal due to its low price.

Just go for it!!

About the phone: Well this phone is a steal for the price we get it. Android ICS, great speaker output, good feel while holding in the hand and great battery life.
About Sony: I hear people still saying that Sony is not good at mobiles because of the joystick and keypad problems they had with the old generation Sony Ericsson phones. But believe me guys, the XPERIA range is in a separate league of its own. No flaws here. In-fact these phones have one of the best touch screens among all. So go for it and feel the difference.

Hmmmmmmmmm,THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guys this phone packs with the premium ANDROID ICS software,and comes with all that funky sony stuffs.

The touchscreen is just mindblowing,the music is fabulous,camera is good but not the best.
As always Sony does it, this boy comes in a premium sony design.
Very comfortable in hands and I think 1gb internal storage for these kinds phones is more than enough.

U get a micro sd card slot expansion for upto 32 gigs and Sony gets u an online storage of 50gb for lifetime.

U also get an free screen protector from Sony

Unlike Samsung sony gets an update of 4.1 for this buddy boy later this year because as we noticed an entire sony 2011 smartphone line up got an update to ICS.

Guys I found many of them complaining about the battery issues and heating of the mobile.

I would like to advice all of you to use this app battery power saver recommended by Sony,the app tells you on how you can consume Your phones battery wisely and prevent unnecessary heating of the phone.

Guys I can say just go for it!!!!!!!!!!!
