I am not a gadget freak guy, i just need

1) Good phone which can store 300+ numbers,
2) Have a decent battery life that can last me for over a day and half.
3) Must have a 3MP camera with a FLASH (Most important)
4) Must support Internet access to G-mail + Formula1 + T-BHP
5) Must have GPS
6) Must not be over 10K in price

Please guide and suggest me one.

Thanks in advance

As far as I know, there is no model within 10K which satisfies all the above requirements. You will have to increase your budget slightly or make a compromise on some feature. I can suggest few models:

Nokia 5230
+ves: 3.2 inch screen, GPS with navigation, 3G
-ves: basic 2 MP camera, no video calling, no wifi

Samsung Monte
+ves: GPS, 3G, video calling, wifi, capacitive touch screen, good battery backup
-ves: no flash, no QWERTY

Samsung Star
+ves: 3.2 MP camera with flash, good battery backup, wifi option available
-ves: no 3G, no video calling, no GPS

LG cookie / cookie pep
More or less similar to Samsung Star

Last time I visited E-zone they were offering 5800 for 10K.

X6 is 5800's replacement, but costs 5K extra.

NOKIA until now hasn't come up with a phone with dual SIM features and I hope it does not.

within 15K, X6 is the best phone Nokia has come up with but supports only single SIM. However, am not sure if this phone is 'Daddy' material.

[raj_5004]

Thanks for the fast response buddy.

My dad strictly needs a dual sim phones. within 15k, which other phones {from other manufacturers} are good enough?

I am tired of using E61 i and E 75. Looking for a change. Any recommendation on Nokia PDA or E phones or any other good one with 3 G or 4 g compatibility.

E71 is available for around 12.5K and E72 is for 16.x K

Recently had seen advertisement of Nokia dual sim phones but they were mostly cheap models. On googling, found this. Nokia India - Nokia C2-00 - Products

[raj_5004]

Thanks a lot janitha. though i think this phone is a little too basic (no colour display & VGA camera) but i think my dad atleast has an option in nokia.

i think samsung too has a dual SIM phone? any idea about the model? does sony have a dual sim?

Samsung has good options for dual sim phones. A few high end ones too.

I think you got it confused with 5530, it looks similar to 5800. 5530 costs 10K approx.

5800 costs 13.5K, X6 costs 15.5K in Bangalore. The difference is only 2K.

Take a look:

Dual Sim Phone - Mobile Phone | SAMSUNG

They had a fourth model, cannot see it now, though!
