Dear All,

I am looking for a mobile phone that has both touchscreen & slide-out qwerty keypad...one example being Nokia C6. My budget is 20k. Any good company will do. Plz suggest me some.

Thanks in advance,
Troy.

C6 is not worth it and new C6-01 dont have a qwerty. Nokia only has e7 with qwerty and touchscreen but will be out of budget. So, no nokia phone in this category...

I recommend motorola milestone. Its good handset- fulfill your requirements and hav great features...
Other phone to mention is LG gw620,but its not as impressive as milestone...

C6 is just an average phone - neither good in multimedia nor good looking.
When you are willing to spend 20k, then this phone is not worth it.
