guyz i want to buy a good phone under Rs5000 and i will be using it for a year.
Also the phone should be durable as it would subjective to rough use (phones keep falling from my hand).

Nokia: 2700 classic, 2730 classic, 2690, X2-01

Samsung: Chat C322, Champ C3303, Corby Pop

SE: Cedar, Spiro

My preference would be the Cedar for its 3G support, good camera & great looks.

I dont need 3g as i just need this phone for a few months till i get into a college.

BTW, i bought NOKIA X2-01 today for Rs 3900. Its low on quality features but its okay for now...
