Hi,

This phone is for my sister. Qwerty is a must and budget is within 7K. No Micromax, Karbonn and other similar brands.

>We really liked the Motorola Fire which is available at Infibeam for 6.5K, however I've had bad things about Motorola's service.

>Another preferred phone was the Asha 302, but there's no multitasking, Series 40 etc.

So what else do you guys suggest?

^Its overpriced mate, 2MP cam and no 3G at 8.5K isn't worth it.

Motorola EX226 is also pretty good:
Motorola EX226: Price in India, Reviews, Specification: Flipkart.com

What do you guys say? This or the Fire or Asha 302?

Asha 302. If you can spend a bit more I suggest to look at E5.

Nah, 7K max. The EX226 looks real attractive though, all the same features at 5K except for Symbian S40.

What about the Galaxy Pro Duos? Or wait for Galaxy Chat?
