Cheap & Best Mobile !

Hii friends !

I need to get a cell for my dad.

Since, the phone will be used for only making & receiving calls, the only criteria required is good voice clarity & good battery life. Looks will be considered as a bonus !

Please advice,

Thanks in advance !

Motorolla -gudlooks,disgusting baterry
nokia 1100-wins all hands up.

Nokia 1100 discontinued.consider the 1200.

Samsung C160 is gud..There is some new entry level model from Samsung which gives 9 hrs talk time..Don't remember the model no though..U can ask the dealer...In between cheap and best doesn't go together..

Well, i am not very keen to go with Samsung. I myself don't know why.

I prefer Motorola, Nokia or SE.

BTW, i forgot to tell then I can spend upto 3k for the cell.

I went through that thread before posting this thread.

Nothing except the budget matches my needs.
The guy over there wants bluetooth, memory & other multimedia features.

On the contrary, I want a simple mobile for making & receiving calls with a good battery life !!!

Nokia 6070 = VGA Camera + FM + Good Looks + All basic features + Colour Display + Infrared + PC synchronization.

A good value for money phone. I suggest you get this phone as there is no point going for a very basic phone. This will suit your dad perfectly.

May be this will help you ...

motorola w180. best voice clarity better than 1200 crap.

Moto w180.

Moto C168

does moto c168 have crystal talk technology?

and secondly, since moto w180 is newer than c168, is it not advisable to go for the former?

arey get moto yuva w230

w230 is indeed a great phone.
but i already have it at my home.

so, i would want to have a different handset.

Also have a look at Samsung Guru 100.

gourav: so what did you finally end up buying? I am also looking for a basic phone under Rs.3K.

i got a moto w180 ... truly gr8 phone.

but make sure you don't have any problems with its keypad before buying !

So what the noteworthy additional features of W230 compared with W180?

Price at futurebazaar.com:
W230 - Rs. 2960
W180 - Rs. 1975

I understand that W230 comes with 256MB memory in-built. How much is it for W180?

Nokia 1200 or 1208. Awesome feel. Just 1.1k
