Cell for my wife ...plz suggest

Nokia C2-01.

Thanks but phone doesnt look good ..screen is small..any more suggestions

Look at Samsung C3222 or Samsung S3600.

Both are good looking handset.

Samsung C3222 out as she doesnt like QWERTY...S3600 has only 1.3 MP camera

How about Nokia 2730 Classic? Although this one's an older model.

Also look at this phone from Sony Ericsson
Sony Ericsson Cedar
Sony Ericsson Spiro

Sony Ericsson Yendo

Cedar looks gud..has 3G also..plus java OS ..but arent sony phones high on battery consumption and not sturdy as Nokia

Yes.Its not sturdy as Nokia but its good anyway.

java os ..is it possible to install all java games (.jar files) ? how is the battery backup ?

Nokia India - Nokia C1-01 - Mobile phone with GPRS technology
Nokia India - Nokia C2-00 - Dual Sim mobile phone
This phones from Nokia Looks good.Just check it out.

Review of Sony Ericsson Cedar

Trustedreview

Cedar looks gud but I read in reviews..camera isnt gud

Good camera in under/over 4K phone is so hard to find.

If a qwerty keypad is required then check out Nokia C3. Its in the 5k range.

cedar is the best option

do you expect to get everything in a 4k phone?? Why not spend some more??

you can have a look at Samsung 3530,I got it for my dad,its a very nice phone...

SE Cedar good, I woudnt go for the Yendo or the Spiro, but the SE Elm is an option (5mp cam with flash)
these non droid phones with greenheart certifications have exceptional battery lives

Well, you buy nokia c2-00. It, nevertheless, is a modest device and actually makes enough sense and use. The dual SIM and dual standby feature is the undeniable highlight.You can purchase multimedia, themes, and applications from the Ovi Store. Prepare to enjoy every convenience Ovi has to offer with these phones.

Nokia C2-00

Camera Yes VGA
Resolution 640x480 pixels

She needs a good cam so this one is OUT

SE Elm is gud but price is also gud 7500/- !

you ask for a mobile phone with good battery backup & camera.
you are suggested Nokia C2-01, which fulfills both of your requirement.
then you say it doesn't looks good & screen is small.

Next suggestion came as Cedar, which again fulfills all your suggestion.
You again complain about low battery problem on SE mobiles.

really, whats your problem. you want everything in that small budget & when you are suggested something that suites your budget, you complain about this & that.

a simple search at flipkart shows just 3 good option to consider:
Nokia C2-01
Sony Ericsson Cedar
Sony Ericsson Spiro

if you want more choice, visit your nearest mobile store & talk to the shopkeeper there. maybe he'll able guide you better finding the perfect mobile.

bumping this topic..budget increased to 5-6k...requirements :

1, Good camera >=2 MP
2. No Android needed
3. No Qwerty
4. Big screen

Hows Nokia Asha 300 ?

get nokia x2.... 5mp cam with flash + nice and large screen + nice stereo speakers.... cost around 5k..

Nokia X2 review: Verdict | from TechRadar's expert reviews of Mobile phones

We liked

The Nokia X2 has awesome battery life; this phone will go for days on moderate use and gave us a real sense of freedom from the socket. The crisp and clear loudspeaker was a clear winner and the X2's media expandability means you have the potential for hours of tunes.

Build quality is also fairly solid and the inclusion of an aluminium back is a welcome touch of luxury.

We disliked

The X2 has seriously unfriendly buttons. If you have the fingers of a borrower, then the X2 will probably suit you fine. However we just couldn't get on with the tightly-spaced, unresponsive keys.

The camera is pretty bad. Yes it's 5MP, and the images may be large, but they are washed out and blurry, even in daylight conditions.

The handset also has a lacklustre choice of applications and dire connectivity options, which were enough to make long-term use a chore.

Verdict

The Nokia X2 is great value for those who just want a simple mobile phone. However this handset feels confused. It has the styling of a teenager and the features of a dinosaur If you are looking to replace your aging handset, this could be the one for you. Otherwise we suggest steering clear.

Asha 300 seems good

Nokia Asha 300 | Reviews | CNET UK

Stay away from X2. this one has serious restart problem. Use a 4GB / 8GB card and it will restart frequently.
SE elm is no longer available. if you can, get this. Sturdy, good cam, good battery back up. Typical SE phone.
other options Samsung S5610 and / or Nokia C5.

get this IMO Samsung Wave525 (S5250 ) for 6.5K or Galaxy Y

I am zeroing in on Samsung Champ 3.5 G

Samsung S3770: Price in India, Reviews, Specification: Flipkart.com

Hows the camera of this mobile ? better than Nokia 5233 ? Please advice

bummpp..any answers pls

Asha 300 would be priced some where around 7000
Asha 201 and 200 seem to be good options.
Also consider the Motorola Gleam!

Motorola Gleam EX212: Price in India, Reviews, Specification: Flipkart.com

^thnx but Asha 200/201 is out due to QWERTY KB ..Moto..no way ....

Only Samsung or Nokia ..pls tell abt Samsung Champ 3.5G

Go for any of the following two i.e. Samsung S3770 or Nokia 5233. Both are nice phones and features wise both are almost same.

Motorola isnt THAT bad. My Grandmother has been using one, one of the Yuva Flip phone models for 3 years now. It still works perfectly fine and the Large buttons like the ones in Gleam are amazing for woman with big nails.
If after sales service is a problem, from what Ive heard the only problem is locating a Moto service centre, other wise their Service is good.
