1. Budget - 2k +/- .5k.
2. Display type and size - The Bigger, The Better.
3. Form Factor - Bar.
4. Preferred choice of brand - None.
5. Preferred input method - Numpad.
6. What camera option you want. - If any, the best in my budget.
7. Preferred operating system? - Any, I guess.
8. Preferred connectivity options - Bluetooth(dud!).
9. Preferred applications - music player.
10. Primary use of handset - Calls, Listening music at medium volume. No cheap phones with ear-splitting volumes please. Camera, it possible in my budget, should be of good quality. Flash is not necessary.
11. Any specific mobile phones in consideration - I have no idea. I'm not so mobile savvy.
12. Any other info that you want to share - Its for my mom so you might have an idea what phone would be the best in budget. The phone should have a free 2 GB memory card.

Thanks in advance.

Not that I know all the options but Nokia 101 might be a good option for your requirement.

oh sorry. i was talking about a memory card slot. nope. with such cheap handset you won't get any memory card unless bundled by the store (say Flipkart promo offer).
