G700=Symbian+a good cam+touchscreen+good quality music @15k

Steal i say.
W760 is also a good option if you want gps.Sound quality is on the better side of handsets according to gsmarena.

Though w890i is suits his requirements, isn't it out of your frnd budget. Better in for k810i..

if its not for you then i think you should suggest him n81
n81 is excellent for the music
2 mega pix cam is okay
good keypad and looks
wide screen and best for gaming also
in lower range w580 will also serve the purpose except the keypad

N81 8GB has some advantages over K810i - Wi-Fi, N-Gage, 2.4inch screen, 8GB and 3.5mm jack, miniUSB

However, for K810i camera is awesome.. SE is known for good cameras with good pic quality.

samsung handsets are not build good in quality, My personal experience coz few of my friends are working in samsung. Even they dont suggest me to go for samsung !!

My suggestion for your budget is Nokia N81 , just called the hotspot and nokia81 is for rs14200 and nokai 81 8gb is for 15500.

Both the phones (i450 and n81 ) has the same OS " Symbian OS 9.2, Series 60 v3.1 UI " and camera is also 2 megapixel ! but for Card slot
Samsung i450
microSD (TransFlash), buy memory
- 40 MB built-in memory

N81
Card slot No
- 8 GB internal flash memory
- 96 MB SDRAM memory
- ARM 11 369 MHz processor

Also, you can compare both the phones by clicking the hyperlink mentioned below :
