Hi Friends,

Need to buy a new mobile for my wife as a gift. She doesn't like touch phones. I did be interested in slider type which she likes.
Or even a Bar model would suffice as a second case.

My problem is am unable to identify the right one in market as its full of touch and type. Am open for any brand, preferably biggies.

Please suggest me in the same. My budget can extend till 20k or so. All I need is a great and powerful mobile whose sound quality rocks

Avoid One V, it is the worst phone by HTC, look out for Desire V or Desire X, both are good
