I need to buy a new phone. The budget is 5K

Don't like touchscreen phones. Should be suitable for using GPRS and should have decent sound quality.

^^Not anymore :p

LG KP500 Cookie available in *Univercell.in for Rs. 5000 + Tax.

PS: They list Nokia 3110c @ 2.1K.... is that even REAL ? I know the KP500 can't be wrong since its a currently-in-market phone but...

WTH!! 5k??? just a few questions though

1) how good is the UI?
2) how is the touch respose
3) given that this phone doesn't come with a 3.5mm audio jack, do we get coverters to connect 3rd party earphones?

but seriously, 5k-5.5k is a steal for this phone.

1) UI is gr8 for a non-smart phone. I found it comfortable on my friend's handset.
2) Again same as above. Good.
3) Dunno. But default handset sounds good. And I think we DO get adapters but then you would need to roam Majestic and SP Road for a few hours for that if you know what I mean ;-)

Guess we all messed up. OP said he doesn't like Touchscreen phones.

So if the OP won't have a Cookie, lets look at other dishes...

LG GW300 with a nice QWERTY keyboard is a good alternative I guess @ 4.7K.

That or Nokia 5130 XpressMusic.
