it is a coincidence that my uncle ,my brother & even my grand mother
r buyin a cell @ the same time
here r the budgets

1st budget is around 9000

2nd budget for my bro is around 5000-7000
he likes to listen to mp3's & uses the gprs a lot
extendable memory or a little high internal memory would be preferred

3rd budget for my grand mother is around 3000
i know there is hardly any choice in this range
nokia phone would be preferred & i guess she would prefer a phone with a torch :)
& also a phone which is light
plz give ur suggestions

thanx

1. SE Z550i or K750i or W550

2. NGage QD / 6600 <- Though I hate these phones, these are better suited for GPRS stuff, best would be a second hand 6630

3. Nokia 1100 would be okay.

For the 3rd option make that NOKIA 1008. Its white light display is better than 1100. Also light weight.

ask him to try for second hand 6630 instead of 6600.
6630 is atleast 10 times better than 6600.
