Hii friends ...

I am looking forward to buy a phone around Rs. 5000 /-.
Basically I just need a good keypad. (QWERTY keypad, good battery life, good looks along with other features would be an added bonus).

I found the Corby TXT and Motorola EX115 to be impressive.

What are your suggestions ?

I've already had issues with one of my earlier Micromax purchase and so I am reluctant to get it (unless no other phone even competes it in terms of price and feature).

As for Nokia, my current Nokia N82 is giving me a lot of trouble and so I was thinking to try a different vendor this time. However, I did compare Nokia c3 with Samsung txt ( Nokia C3-00 VS Samsung B3210 Corby TXT - Full Phone Comparison ) and found that C3 had a larger display + wi-fi capabilities.

What do you think is better ? Nokia c3 or Samsung TXT ?

Also AFAIK, Nokia c3 is priced around 6.5k. Please correct me if i am wrong !

And what about Motorola Starling? It looks a promising phone. But I have not heard/read much about it.

^ yes nokia c3 is at 6.5k retail price..
i wud suggest u to go for c3.
recently my frnd bought , Good fone but it has lot of glitches (xpected to Get better with new SW update)
also check micromax q75 , I have been using MM q5 frm last 9 months no problems yet..
though Moto ex looks promising .. It has the same old java Os ..

What is your opinion on the Samsung TXT ?

Corby Text looks Good thoug
But comparing it With c3 , C3 is recommended
c3 has bigger batt (1320mAh) , Bigger screen (2.4 , 320x240 res)
and WIFI
but as i said it has some glitches , U can check both , also check q75,
i recommend c3>mm q75>samsung corby txt

why is nokia having so many glitches these days ?
I mean, even in new s/w updates ?
My friend updated his 5130 and his calculator got some kinda problem and stopped opening all applications...
And the usual restarting problem.
Hmm..
Hope they fixes all these soon...
