Touch screen - LG KP500 a.k.a. Cookie (specs here). I got mine for a hundred quid (~7.2K Rs.) from the UK sometime ago. It's probably the cheapest T/S handset anywhere. That said, I'm not too sure if it's available in India yet.
Non touch screen - a lot more choices. Nokia 7610 Supernova if she wants a fashionable slider, Nokia 5320XM if she wants an all-round device, thanks to its 3.5mm audio jack and Symbian OS. The SE T650i is another nice candybar but I'm not too sure of the current price.
There are a couple of SE phones in that range but sadly, most of 'em are quite outdated really - the K810, W810 etc.

Sorry, I have no idea about the Moto Ming A1200. Perhaps someone out here might have used it.

As for the Cookie, the audio quality through the speakers is a little tinny (it's a low end phone so that's expected) but is pretty good through a decent set of earphones. That said, it really is the poor man's iPhone with its great menu system, haptic feedback, super fast Flash-based UI and the ability to swipe your finger across the screen rather than the age old system of a simple touch. It lacks WiFi though, so that's a small negative point. I just read somewhere that the Cookie was launched in India last week. You might want to ask around your local shops if they have any in stock. Let me know if you have more questions. I don't have it any longer but would be happy to help.

Z750i - I bought one for my gf a couple of months ago and she was chuffed to bits. The exterior is just mesmerizing IMO.
My personal favorite feature phone in the low to mid range is the T700. 'tis available on eBay for a little more than $200.

Get the Nokia 5320 XpressMusic. You can install N-gage games on it.
