I want to have a mobile set in range of 1.6k to 2.4k.
I will use it just for calling.
A quick suggestion is needed.

Motorola C168 or Samsung's new C160, both are inbuilt with stereo FM, and color display, no nokia here, cause low-end nokia color phones have bad display, and have no RADIO :)
BTW you are using now 3220, right??

C168 is a nice phone in its segment. I own one and it is good.
