If she wants a normal Bar phone then Samsung 5610 is the best option.And if she wants a good touchscreen phone then increase your budget and get Explorer for 8k

rahulpv102 said right,don't go for 303.keyboard is bad.that will make your typing experience bad too.I am sorry for misguiding you.

How does it matter if s40 is dead or alive?
It has more than enough apps for the girl

@ssk_the_gr8 I have a s40 nokia phone (Supernova 7210) applications are very limited for example their is no office suit,no antivirus,more ever lot of games doesn't run well in S40 shows out of memory error while s60 has much better application support.this is the reason why i asked for s60 phone.
Thinking of buying samsung galaxy y.Do you have any suggestion for s60 phone if so kindly let me know.
@Swapnil26sps no need for sorry confusion happens.

galaxy y's display looks bigger than Explorer as well as Mini. cause its not wide. long instead. so even if its 3", its quite usable in landscape mode too.
