hello digitians,
Since i have purchased a new connection i am looking out for a cheap but good phone. I already own a SE W810i so i intend to buy a basic phone.

My requirements from the phone are-
1] Good Message storing capacity.
2] Good contact entries capacity with multiple nos. for each entry.
3] Integrated FM Radio preferred.
4] Good Signal reception capability.
5] GPRS supported then good enough but not a compulsion.

I am not bothered about the camera, bluetooth or any other such features.
I have heard that the Nokia 1650 has a message storing capacity of upto 250 smses and plus it comes with integrated FM radio as well. Hence i need suggestion and advice from Nokia 1650 users on this forum.

I have short listed the following models-
1] Nokia 1650
2] Nokia 2626

These are the two main contenders where only feature extra in Nokia 2626 is that it has support for GPRS but only a storage capacity for 60 smses (in phone) + 20 smses (on SIM). On the contrary Nokia 1650 rules in the sms storage capacity but no GPRS support.

So please advice as to which phone i should go for?? Any other phone suggestions in Nokia and SE are most welcomed.

Thanks.

U can have a look at 'Magic Box' section of 'vodafone.in' website,5 or 6 models are available.

U'll get a free lifetime prepaid card.But the phone works with any SIM.

2yrs replacement warranty,looks promising!
