[bikdel]

guys i need a cellphone as a backup when i cannot take my n73me

the features needed are

1. Colour screen
2. Good Battery life
3. Good signal reception
4. FM if possible?

can you please recommend a cellphone within 3 k?

i'll be taking it to quite remote regions and signal clarity as well as good build quality are of utmost importance.......

Go for Nokia 6070 @ Rs.3k~3.5k.

but it has more features than i need...

i mean i need a very sturdy one with signal reception a priority and a good battery life... kind of military phone

i'll trade features for quality...

and i dont have more than 3 k to spend...

Go for Motorola F3.You will get it for Rs.1100. It has Mindblogging display!And quite good build quality.

 

[bikdel]

[krazzy]

Go for Nokia 1112.

Samsung C160
i just bought a couple of days back as my backup fone.
costs below 2k.

IMO, none of the cellphones with colour display are now as sturdy as the older mono screen ones used to be. if you want a simple phone widout colour screen and sms then get nokia 1110 or 1112.

Don't go in for SE J series. Personal experience says they are very delicate.

okay... im goin for the Motofone F3...

i dont know why but suddenly i like it.. its slim and you can use it unrecharged at a stretch for a week or so..

though i hate the screen because text msgs are barely readable

after all i just want a fall back fone
