Guys,
I am looking for a phone with following requirements

1) Camera (with atleast 2 MP)
2) Good battery life (atleast 5hrs talktime)
3) Touch Screen (slider can also be considered)
4) 3G enabled

W910i was my choice but then came to know from the dealer that it was going out of production :confused:

Please suggest any other good models with in 10~16 K

Thanks,
Askana

W595. Awesome phone. Go for it. If ypu want touch you can go for the Cookie. But the W595 comes with a dual 3.5mm adapter, you can use two headphones at once and also has great sound quality.

Do you want Smartphone ? (OS like Symbian or WinMo)
You should get one if you need 3rd party apps. So is a smartphone in your priority list ?

Anyway, excluding slider/touchscreen, the phone which meets the rock bottom of your budget is Nokia 5320 XpressMusic. It has Symbian S60 9.3 OS, 2MP Camera, Decent Battery Life and Great Sound Quality (why else would it be called XpressMusic ? :rolleyes:). Available in Bangalore for 11K with 8GB memory or 10K with 1GB memory.

Thanks guys for the awsome response

@dreamcatcher,
I dropped my interest on W910i and W595 after seeing Nokia 5800 ...

@Coool,
I am considering 5800 as a strong option., Zn5 sounds good but it's still candy bar type with no touchy screens

@MetalheadGautham,
Yes ... I am looking for a smartfone with touch screen :|

Yes.. Suddenly 5800 seems to be the choice of everyone who ever wanted to have a full touchscreen phone but didn't go for it due to the steep price of the iPhone and htc Diamond. A search on the forum would show you that even the Diamond's price has gone down.
