If u just want colour , battery life and FM .. Nokia 1650 , look no further.

Otherwise , there's on offering for MicroMax mobiles that lasts for 29 days ( as stated , but not tested ).

Go for any samsung GURU series, 1000 mah battery, heavy battery backup.

My friend had samsung guru 140 , despite claiming 9hrs talktime , actual talktime was 4-5hrs hardly . Voice quality also sucks . Samsung is really bad in 'phone' department.

2 days at most . And usually 1 day because he talks with gf for 3+hrs everyday . Btw , he changed to nokia 1203 + 1020 mah battery that comes with 5130 . Rocking 3-4 days easily .
