Android does indeed have more free apps. Samsung even has their own App store and they have more free apps there as well. Plus there's 100+ from GetJar: http://mktg.getjar.com/getjargoldcatalogue.html#R1 (note: scroll sideways)

Apps will still need to occupy a small amount of space on the internal memory, and not all apps can be moved to the SD card. But of course moving what you can will help. I have an HTC Desire and my memory is 2MB smaller than yours. You pretty much will just have to put up with it. There are some root solutions to free up more memory, but aren't perfect.

Hmm for something dependable I'd go for recent units from Samsung, HTC and possibly Sony. In my opinion the most clean, stable and user-friendly Android skin out of the three is HTC's Sense UI. Just watch out for the app memory capacity because HTC tends to install very little. (Wildfire S and Chacha only has 150MB.)

Android has had multiple voice recognition apps even before Siri existed, but the "fake" one is probably Iris - Siri in reverse.

I think they just don't want to tell you bad news: that the updates will be taking much longer than you would want or they have anticipated. That's usually the case with most manufacturers, but Nokia's software team (at least for Symbian and their platforms) are lagging more.

E is EDGE, which is "slow 2G". W is unusual, possibly WCDMA, which is a form of 3G. You can also get H for HSDPA or just plain 3G. WCDMA, HSDPA, and 3G should be good. However EDGE is slow and should be avoided when possible. You can force your phone to connect only to 3G modes thru settings or a hidden code, depending on your phone. Here's our article about the code: http://www.thetechnoclast.com/2011/06/27/cherry-mobile-orbit-android-tipsspeed-up-angry-birds-force-3g-reset-app-drawer/

What are your criteria? Lenovo Mobile has that dual sim A60 that's pretty good. Though if you're not picky about brand Cherry Mobile has the Magnum HD for 12k (1ghz proc.) or the Magnum 2X dual-core for PHP16k. Sony has a lot of Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Ray, Active, Neo V, Live, etc. all under 16k.
