Cheap, Rugged phone with good battery.

I need a cheap phone at around 2-3k.

should be rugged and sturdy build
should be ergnomic
should be responsive to use
should have a clear screen easy to view
should catch the network really well
should give me at least 3-4 days battery backup under normal use
calling n sms should be easy as breeze, need alarm clock as well
no other function required

something really dependable and a good backup phone to take with you when you go to rural areas and work well in remote areas.

thanks in advance..

motoyuva W180. 9.5hr talktime

1,800 rupees

buy moto yuva with mp3 one for 3k

Get Moto Yuva W230 instead of W180.......Its the best under 3K fone...

It has got both MP3 player and FM......

they arent what i asked... i need a basic phone... without mp3 etc.... no high end function other than SMS, calling, and Alarm ....

i dont know about the ruggedness of W180.. any users? how tough is it? does it survive 1.5 m falls every other day?... Motorola user interface is one i really hate....

does it actually giev 9.5 hrs talktimethat are written on its specs?.

any more ppl who know about some more phones that i can have a look at?...

Added: and one dear friend wants to buy either a w230 or a w270... and wants prices for them.. if u could help please... i hope they provide good battery backup....

thanks

Nokia 1200.

Close your eyes and get Moto Yuva 180.
The best phone in its class.

I got the moto yuva 230 for my mom yesterday !!
The voice clarity and network reception is just fantastic. Plus, fantastic looks and scratch proof body !!

yep. I know a friend using W180 and it certainly gives lot of talktime. Didn't count it actually but definitely should give 9.5.

ok... all ppl say w180?.... lets go with it...

whats the best bargain i can get???..

also this friend of mine wants to know the price of w230 and w270... any help here? he also needs it to have a lot of talktime.....

i got the w230 + Reliance SIM Card at Rs. 2600 /-

Nice joke

Nope seriously. Nokia does rule in the sub 2k cheap, no frills fone category.

^^ W180 comes with crystal talk technology, which negates noise like traffic sounds etc and the resulting call quality is simply breathtaking. Superb. I have the Motorokr E6 and still am amazed by the loudness and clarity of calls on W180. Nokia phones nowhere come near to this one.
