need it as 2nd phone in house for calls only. My mom is little deaf so speaker and call quality should be as loud as possible(not looking for china) with good battery.

I am surprised you are looking beyond the Nokia 1100i or the newer versions of it.
Look at Micromax too. They have decent phones too.

i got Nokia 1616 for the same reason ... its working fine for last 6-8months without any issues .. its loud enough .. If any of your friends have it .. let ur mom use it to make a call .. then u can decide
