In that budget, you'll get only a GPRS handset. If you plan to get a 3G connection later, you'll have to buy another phone.

Get a phone which supports USB-charging. This is crucial because tethering drains too much battery.

Avoid Nokia because Nokia phones do not have USB charging. Get a low-end Samsung.

Alternatively, you could buy those USB dongles (available from brands like Micromax & Beetel) & put you sim-card int it, if you don't plan to use it for calling.

If you want a future proof solution (with 3G), you can get the SE Cedar for 5k. which supports HSDPA upto 7.2 Mbps OR the Nokia C3 for WiFi.

Any Metro or Guru series phone should do. But as I said it is better to get a USB dongle as it supports 3G too (if you upgrade later) & doesn't require extra battery. Also it is convenient as compared to connecting a cable to a phone.

Believe Me or Not!!!
3G speed comes with unpleasing price tag...
If this isn't a problem surely go for USB dongle...

Otherwise phones suggested by paul would serve you well, atleast for browsing (not downloading stuff)
