Hey,guys

I need a practical,budget phone around 4k.

I'm buying it for my mom,who doesn't care/need for ANY kind of big features like Wi-fi,Touchscreen etc. What she needs is a practical phone with PERFECT voice quality,battery life,build quality and maybe a run of the mill camera.
...So,at the end of the day,it should be able to make calls. I'm saying this cause i've bought a lot of phones with fancy,out of place features but ended up with amazingly poor voice quality.:shock:



Any help would be greatly appreciated as mobile phones aren't my area of expertise,of course,if she was buying a gaming rig then it would be a completely different thing.:-D

Thanks.

awww no replies? That sucks:-(

Nokia Asha 200 for 3.8k is your best bet.

Have a look at Samsung Primo 5610 which costs 5k.
