hi all!

i want to buy phone under 5k. so far i selected Nokia X2-01. i prefer qwerty. camera doesn't matter much. is there any other contender better than X2-01?

Yeah X2-01 is a great phone. Do you want touch screen ? If not the x2 should serve all your needs :)

If you don't need qwerty, go for nokia 5130 XM, i'll bet my life on it! It has solid and better build quality than X2-01. Feels better in hand too...otherwise samsung ch@t 322 and 335 are good options in your budget! ;)

Samsung Ch@t 335 and Nokia C3 (slightly out of budget) are two other options. Both have 2MP camera and WiFi.

thanks all for your valuable opinions.
samsung 335 is good but i don't like OS. so i stick with X2-01 for now.
