Your requirement says good camera with flash and you have shortlisted a Galaxy Y whose 2MP camera is worse than the Nokia 5233 :S

Get the Samsung S5670. It has a decent 5MP autofocus camera (No LED flash). It costs ~8.5k after discount from letsbuy. (Use coupon 'AMEXLB', out of stock now)

Samsung Galaxy Fit S5670 review: In shape droid - GSMArena.com

If you are ok with non-touch phones then the SE Elm is then best camera phone in the proximity of your budget.

She won't go for ZTE and Dell mobile phones as she is not aware of these brands. Regarding Samsung Galaxy Fit, one of my friends is using and he is not happy with the device. The screen resolution is very bad because of which he cant install most of the popular games from Android market. I am not just looking for camera phone.. I am looking for a mobile which has something in every department. :)

How about Nokia 500, its a recent launch? Any ideas? Ready to increase the budget :)

Camera is just okay-ish, nothing great, but still, good enough for daily use. Video's aren't good. The UI is fine, default browser is sluggish(use Opera Mini).

The phone will receive Symbian Belle update, which would do wonders for it according to me.

For the price, the phone is great. My girlfriend's using the same phone. For the price, it's a pretty good phone, and as I said, unless your sister has used an iPhone or such, she won't really mind this phone at all.

Thanks comp@ddict for the review.

Yesterday, I came to know about one more mobile in my budget, Samsung Wave 525. By letsbuy, it costing me only 4950/-. How about this? Can it be comparable to Nokia 500 (though the price difference is almost double)? I heard that Bada 2.0 is also going to be released soon in India.
