But the camera is a dragging factor. The 2MP camera is not comparable to 3.2MP and 5MP cameras. But if you are not using your phone for photographic purposes, the 2MP camera in the phone is very good.

Dell XCD28 (Price-Rs.7,999)

It is also running on android 2.2. It has a 600 MHz ARM 11 processor and Adreno 200 GPU.

But using additional softwares like old version of Rock player and QQ player it can also play divix files. Other disadvantages of the phone are the call clarity is average only. Also the display is not legible in sunlight.
