Nokia 6030. My current mobile. I'm so in love in that mobile that I'm delaying my next phone (the Apple iPhone) purchase. It should cost you less than Rs 2.5k.
Good thing abt it is you get the keypad like other high cost models with the 2 control, green/red, 5 way navigational keys. Looks good too. Comes in Cream, Black, Gray colours. And ohh yeah, she can listen to FM while she's cooking.
i think 1600 satisfy all your requirements and it is also very cheap
its reception quality is also good
so IMO you should go with this
and if you want spend some more money then bye e250 which is also good phone with some more good features
sorry for mistake i had to right there mother instead of father
i m seriously considering 1600
i have read about motorola w230 also i like that also
any one have experience with w230
