Samsung Star II is excellent at that price range... But if you can get Wave 525 @6k, then go for it...

Choose between - Star II and Wave 525.
Since both are full touchscreen, opt for the one with bigger screen (and portrait qwerty keypad - subjective) i.e. Wave 525.

Excluded Corby II cuz of its poor resolution and 2MP camera.

Well the nokia 5233 is the best phone sub 6.5k....firstly its a smartphone n the resistive touchscreen is one of the best resistive units in business....so I would strongly reccomend you to go with the npkia 5233...just remember to buy a good third party headset though...:D

Nokia 5233 with SPB Shell is excellent... The only downside is no Wifi...

nokia 5233 is best among above IMO whether interested in 3rd party apps or not.. bt touch quality is very reliable.

If you can increase your budget a bit then you can get Dell XCD28 for 7300 from Flipkart.com which has 3G + Android + Touch screen.

now i would suggest u to go to ur nearest dealer and have a look at all the shortlisted handsets and pick the one u like the most..
If i would be at ur place I would have picked Monte and 2nd option would be Wave

only thing with monte is it doesnt hv a virtual qwerty & its old now
it would be probably be the star II
or maybe wave if can extend the budget

for that range i would suggest nokia 5233...
resistive screen in 5233 is not bad at all..
for that price you are getting a smartphone with access to quite a lot of appliations via ovi store..
