Micromax x250 is a good phone and suits your requitements i.e. Marathon battery, dual sim and a good mp3 player. But it costs 2.5k .
You might give it a thought.

PS: I myself am looking to buy this phone tomorrow. In case I do, I'll give a full review on it !

You can check Samsung E1160. Easily gives a talk time of 6.5 - 7 (non stop) hrs and stand by time of 4-5 days.

the thing i am wondering is these phones are not SAR certified

how can they sell them so eaily in the market
& how do they get title sponsors & get big celebs to endorse them

gfive I310 is a QWERTY mobile phone, and its standby time up to 80-90 hours. Talk time is up to 3-4 hours. Beside, good music player and FM radio is enabled.

A good choice for you.
