Hero Music?

Is that better for messaging than X1 ? My focus is messaging and music.

go to some mobile store and check the keypads. check the Nokia keypad specially as Samsung keypad looks okiesh.

Guys I am also looking for a cheap dual sim phone.In which both the sim works at the same time like in Nokia 101.Looking for something around 1.5k.Good battery back up and good keypad is the major concern.Previously was thinking to buy Nokia 101 but before that I wanna ask that is there any good option in Samsung. Because previously in Samsung dual sim phones we have to switch the phone by pressing and a button and only a single sim works at a time.So if there is any good option in Samsung in which both the sim works at the same time then please tell me.

X1 is not at all good for messaging.. soon your keypad will start having cracks if u r a hardcore SMS guy... :twisted:

Yes its available.. you can check their site too..

Not many options to see.. with what you looking at in this low budget. But I had bought Alcatel 520D with 200rs cashback..from flipkart (scheme was on so), and friend paid INR 2300 with 2GB card for the same phone. Comparision Nokia C2-00 vs ICE 520D, Tell you man .. its a good phone in the price range and build quality is surprisngly impresive. Mind you this is a european company. You will not be disappointed.
