Hi,
Need to buy a new cell. Started looking around for suitable model yesterday. This time around I started looking for phones in the <= Rs. 10000 budget.
Things I need this phone to do:
* Replace my 3rd gen iPod Nano
* Take pictures
* casual reading of PDF files
* Some casual video recording
While going through the other old brnd cellphone I also came across the newer Indian Company, but made in China-types cell
Among the others, 2 that I quite liked & was much lower than the max limit of my budget were - Micromax Q75 and MVL Q81
Some reviews of the MVL Q81 phone and condiering the price, gave it satisfcatory marks

Another phone that got good reviews on Cell Guru was the Intex IN 6633

I also found the Spice M-7070 within my budget, though it has features I did not initially plan on having in my cellphone. But condiering the price-feature comparison, i think it makes for a very VFM purchase. Also compared to the other 2 cells Spice mobile, being an older company should have better support in India [unverified - got to check]

After intitall condiering touch screens like Lemon i717 and some others decided against buying a touchscreen, entry-level or otherwise. It is carreid to the Gym & also when i go running - sweaty hands in 1 place & at the other place i keep my cell on the ground and find dust and creepy crawlies crawling over it - both are bad for touch screens i think
Regarding the Spice cellphone, am unable to confirm if it handles PDF files, though it has an eBook reader. Some review says it can read only TXT files [MVL G81 runs PDF] - Any confirmation if the Spice phone can handle PDFs.
Also since it can handle Jav apps can I not install a PDF app if it does not natively support PDF reading?

Any other cellphone recommendations?
Help selecting a suitable cell would be greatly appreciated.
List of all phone I had started considering. However after I took a look at the first Indian Company chinese manufactured low-cost high features phone I stopped updating or adding models from the old brand foreign companies
