Hii friends...

I am looking for a dual sim mobile phone for my dad.
I don't have much requirements except for the cost. I'd prefer it under 4k.
Large screen and better keypad would be an added bonus though.

Please suggest me a good phone.

thanks in advance !

^^^ Already done that. Found out the Samsung C5212. But the website quotes the pricing around 5k . And I've also heard complaints with the battery life.
Moreover, a little more suggestions could come handy.

Just saw the micromax x250 for rs. 2500 /- .
Design is nice and looks durable.

Looks like I'll be buying it tomorrow unless I get a better suggestion here.

no no no, don't expect durability from any of these local brands. And battery life, don't expect too much. I'd advice going for the samsung, at least they meet international quality standards on radiation level, material of the body etc.

Dont know anything regarding radiation levels. But, the battery durability is really good on some of these local phones. Some times, they beat even larger branded phones too, as far as backup time is concerned.

I'm using micromax q1 for quite a while now. It does have a good battery life. Costs only 1500rupees. But build quality is not that great and the red colour looks horrible. But hey its only 1.5k for a **** sim phone which has radio, qwerty keypad, supports memory card and mp3 playback. Its a lot for the price. Just use it sparingly.

I'm having Q2 and will be buying Q75 soon.
I liked Micromax.
You may have a look at it.

BTW,it dont have dual stand by.But both sims will be active at the same time.If you get a call on one,other will say unreachable if called.

Micromax is not at all a bad option.

check out Intex 6633 also.

Digit gave it good ratings in the Sept/August issue - said it has an impressive camera(?!). Was again recommended to some guy in this months issue.

NDTV's Cell Guru too spke well about it, esp, keypad - said it does not look like a an entry-level phone

costs around 4200 - has wifi

@Rockstar11:

In Dual standby u will be connected to both networks while you are in a call.
Bt in dual active, if u are in a call in 1 and if u try to call in d other, it will say unreachable.
In both Dual sim activ and dual stand by u can sen or receive msgs at the same time.
Most of the samsung dual sims are dual stand by,Nokia C2-00
All of micromax are dual active

In SIM shift it has 2 sim slots bt only one will b active at any time.
Nokia C1-00
In C1-00 if u press and hold '*', u can shift b/w the two.

I hope this is correct.. :)

Go for moto ex115 For 4.6k We bought it a month ago was best in class music quality and has faster internet with edge and sorry its not dual sim standby meaning both sim cannot receive call at the same time as well as when one sim is busy with active call the other sim will not able to receive the call. it has standard 3.5mm audio jack which provide best of all dual sim phones music quality moreover the keypad was excellent.
