You won't get qwerty under Rs. 6000 anyway.

My suggestions are :

1. Nokia 5233 - Symbian OS, Touchscreen, Multitasking but no 3G
2. Nokia X2 - s40 OS (Java), awesome camera (5MP with flash)
3. Nokia C3 - s40 OS with qwerty (priced slightly above Rs.6000)

The OP is not interested in Indo-Chineese brands so this does not seems a good idea.

I have used an X2 & it does not hang like you said. I think its a unit-specific issue you had.

@vishurocks
Anyway, my suggestion would be to get the 5233 unless 3g is your requirement. The phone supports multitasking, has big screen & quite a lot of apps. and price would be just about 6k if not less.

The c5 is expensive & will set back you about 7.5k. Its d-pad is horrible to use while other keys are large enough.

If camera is your only requirement, go for the X2. It is a poor value for money, buying a s40 phone for 6k. It lacks 3g & its keypad will make you sick!

If music quality is your main requirement, I would suggest you the Samsung Champ (c3303k). I am currently using this handset. It is an excellent value for money. You get a touchscreen phone with killer looks & great music quality for just 4k (get a good earphone for rest 2k if you like).

I didn't see the point of this thread, You asked for user opinion and ended up buying a totally random phone :/. Thanks for wasting our time.
