I need a sub-4k phone with FM radio feature, preferably Nokia. Which one has good sound quality? All stores are saying Nokia 6030 is being phased out hence out of stock!!! Instead, they have the new Nokia 1650. Any one know how it is? I personally like the Nokia 2310. Which one should I go for??

My fav in this budget is Moto FLIP or W220. It looks great, is cheap and most of all has very good fm quality, i.e. the fm reception quality and sound quality both are great.

Can you suggest a Nokia model? Actually its for my dad, & he seems to stick to Nokia if possible.

P.S. forgot to mention, he has no fascination for a camera, so a non-camera, good FM reception phone should be Ok.

Nokia's in this range aren't that good thats why I suggested Moto FLIP. Max. volume for fm in Nokia phones in this budget is also very low. FLIP's sound is very good. Just show it to your dad once. He'll definitely fall for the looks. There is no camera in this phone.
