SE W200i. Although a pretty crappy phone by itself, it seems to fulfill your requirements quiet decently. Its got 128x160 65k UBC display, Walkman media player, fm radio, VGA camera, memory card slot (128mb card is provided), GPRS and comes with bass reflex earphones. It comes for 7k.

SE W200 lacks 'Bluetooth',otherwise it's a good choice!

But,surprisingly Nokia 5200 supports even A2DP for 6.7K!!

SE w200i lacks some important features like EDGE, BT etc,
Nokia 5200 is a good option for low end music phone, and Samsung E250 is also a good phone but samsung not marketing it as a MUSIC PHONE

if your budget is around 10k
Sony Ericsson Z710, Motorola SLVR L9

if budget is around 6k-7k
Motorola L6i, SE w200i, Nokia 5200, Nokia 3110 etc....

Nokia 6085 with features like VGA cam,FM,MP3,A2DP & nice clamshell with a

gr8 price of 5.6K only is one of the most neglected mobile like SE Z550i which

also has 1.3MPcam,FM,MP3 but no A2DP another gr8 clamshell for 7.1K

one of my frnd owns a 5200 and when u buy a Pro head phone separate, its not a bad phone either :)

also we tested it pluging in to it in a 5.1 (with converters offcouse) sound system, played pretty nice music, both MP3 and FM :D

for that my dear .. Just go to a few shops and ask for a demo.. and see if u like it or not. that will be the only way, one thing that is comfortable to me my not be comfortable to you. & vice-a-versa

yes thats a good idea.

I-Pod + may be Moto F3 (thats a slim n sexy)
only thing is FM is not there in i-pod.

Z550i I purchased, and got it replaced twice in 1 week. then finally gave it back
that had some issues with software. now its not availble at that dealer. he said one or two lot came bad and that destroyed its market
