Nokia's 3110 is a Nice phone for ur budget.
You can as check out Moto Yuva 230 or 270 which cost 2.8k and 3k
and you can pop a 2 gig card as well which can be the best deal in ur budget
Hope u get the idea

Even I am going to buy a cell for my dad.

If you were to take my words, leave Nokia and get any low end motorola phone. They are far better in terms of voice clarity and battery life.

However, thats just my opinion. People may (and will) disagree !

For 4.5K you can get yourself a SE w200i, only hitch is it does'nt have bluetooth.

Whatever w200i is , its NOT STURDY.

3110 is pretty good phone for your budget.the keypad is very nice . And dads usually like the "classic" look .

dont buy 3110,its camera is not at par with conventional 1.3 megapixel ones,its pictures are far too choppy,also this set hangs a lot,mainly due to some firmware problem,sound from speakers is average,1i ve used this set for around two weeks

dude...i just got a moto w230 for abt 2.8k. I don think that u'll find the same features that it has in any other brand in the same price range. Its got 2gb exp memory ...they'r giving 256mb free too. and the new headset looks sleek and sexy! for ur budget get that phone and a 2gb mem card!

Dude, what dr.Tweaker has said is right. The camera is completely crap. I've a 3110c at my home.....

But even still its the best in this budget....

Bluetooth, Infrared, EDGE, 1.3mp Camera even with QCIF video recording, upto 2GB microSD card. It offers everything....The best bet in this budget.

hey, i too want to buy a cheap phone for myself.
though i was a nokia fanboy, i see that there are not many choices in the 3k range. so i think i'll go with any brand that gives high VFM.

1>are there any other models/series other than moto w230/w270 which fit the bill?

2>BTW - i will be moving to a hostel soon. so will this phone be a "theft hazard"? coz i have lost a nokia 6630 in this way......:-x.

3>Also how much do 1GB and 2GB micro SDs cost?

so do u recommend moto w230? or should i get moto w270? i am willing to spend that extra cash if its worth it........ Also not used a clam-shell till now, so willing to experiment a bit.

@confused

IMHO Sub 3K phones are not worth....I'll suggest you to shell out 1K more for Nokia 3110c......It has everything thats why...

But if the budget is strictly <= 3K, then W270 is the way to go....But don't forget you get a lot of things in 3110c if you spend 1K more.....:)

@gagandeep - actually, budget is not an issue. but i want to spend as little as possible, so that if i ever lose it, it wont be a big loss. i actually thought i would get a sub 1-2k phone. but i realized those are really subpar. so i thought maybe 3k ought to be enough.

anyway will keep ur suggestion in mind, thanks.
