If you are looking for good looking QWERY phone for around 2k, then get the Micromax Q6 for 2.6k.

Nokia X1-01. It is around 1800. speaker is very loud & battery life is good only downside is no camera...

i have tried and tested Samsung E2152.. it wud be lil high on your budget.. but i can say.. its really worth.. battery backup is awesome, dual sim, screen is good 256K (all other have merely 65K), loud ringtones, bluetooth, MP3 player.. overall nice phone..

bro its not dual sim

yes, its not dual sim. my bad :oops:

so under 2k, only 2 options left:
Nokia X1-01 ---> if mp3 player is a must.
Samsung E1252 ---> slightly bigger & better screen. but no memory card or mp3 player. no browser also.

Samsung E1252 - Full phone specifications
i think the samsung also has a music player

can you tell me if x1-01 has a noise leakage problem like nokia1616 or other low end nokia phones??

& which is the best among the micromax's

+ bad screen (read in GSMArena review).


@Sam : screen is not that bad..i agree the resolution is 128x160.. still it is clearly visible in sunlight..

@Raj: you can check out this one has MP3 player & a VGA camera Karbonn K496 - Dual Sim
