Looking for a non-camera dual sim phone.

[Kshitij]

Hi, I need a non-camera phone. Would like to have something as good my current Motorola EX-115.

Other than dual-sim and no camera preferable features are:

1. QWERTY Keypad.
2. Memory storage.
3. FM Radio.
4. Music player - basic one would do.
5. Internet browsing.


I have shortlisted Spice-QT44 and Micromax-Q1.

Any suggestions?

budget????
And micromax and spice mobiles are not recommended.
Rather get a samsung phone.
Mention your budget so that we can suggest you particular mobiles which are best in your budget.

Thanks for the reply.

My budget is 1-3k.

Have seen three other phones: Nokia X1-01,Samsung W139,LG A190. But none were too appealing.

Another on is Micromax Q1 - budget and with good looks. Been performing good with 3 friends who have it.

I own a Samsung 1232 dual sim phone which costs 1.6k and its pretty good.

 

[Kshitij]

Thanks...saw your comment in another thread (phone under 3k) as well.

Couple of queries

1. Can I connect this phone via USB cable to my PC(happens to be Dell 1525)?
(Else the option would be get a card reader).

No but you can connect using bluetooth.

but even then a memory card reader cost 50 at most and given free with some memory cards.

If you cant do without internet on phone... i would suggest getting a secind hand deal on C1-02.
For querty i dont think there are any good devices out there..
If you can do without 3.5 mm audio jack.. i would suggest samsung guru dual..26 or something.. got a larger screen and nice looks.
Else.. i had 1232b.. its a very reliable and good device.
Stay away from spice or micromax... not good handsets... very poor call clarity, pathetic build quality... and doubtful safety precautions againt radiation...

Thanks guys.

Saw couple of more phones, but not sure of their reviews

1.Philips Xenium X130
2.LG A115


The Phillips one looks good.


(Apologies, I am just a bit busy and hence slow in this search for a mobile phone - though it doesn't cost much, as I need a non-camera phone - buts mobile is something that I carry almost 24 by 7.)

Cheers.

 

[coderunknown]

where have you find the two. definitely not available here.

 

[Kshitij]

I saw them online.(not getting time to go to a shop and see what handsets are actually available)

But now thinking in terms of getting either Nokia X-101 or Samsung E1232B, as they have more sales and support.

Hi,

Bought a Nokia 101 for 1450/- in Pune --- on a hunch.

Will post a review in a few days.

 

[Kshitij]

Its okay for a 1.5k phone. Only two major problems:

1. Sound leakage - as it seems to have only one speaker.
2. Headphones quality.
