Hey guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy 3 and need an additional phone as backup. Budget is Strictly <2K. Primary focus - Battery Backup

Some phones which I looked into

Nokia X1-01 - Rs. 1830 , Looks great!!

Samsung Hero Music E1232B - Rs 1599

Spice M-6464 Rs. 1740

Micromax M2 Rs. 2165

These are some of the models which I just glanced through.. I may have missed some other phones. ..

I see that most phones have dual sim feature as well as FM and MicroSD slot.

why not Samsung Hero E2230? it has better specs (like camera & GPRS) and still cost less. else grab Nokia X1-01 for its massive battery.

Thats a good one, It was out of stock in flipkart and hence didn't show up in search result ..

X1-01 doesn't have bluetooth :(

Bought Nokia X1-01 from Sangeetha for Rs. 1950 all inclusive. Didn't order it via flipkart as I needed the mobile today itself.. haven't used it yet.

I didn't go for Samsung Hero E2230 as it was very ugly. so decided to go with X1-01 despite the lack of camera and bluetooth .

EDIT: Also lacks GRPS / PC connectivity.

today is the 12th day after I bought this phone.. and still haven't recharged it after the first charge...!! I had made about 5-6 call till now on this phone.. to try and drain the battery, I even switched on the light for about 16+ hrs.. and the bloody phone still has charge left!!!

The sum it up.. this phone has a hell lot of battery life!!!
