Need entry level cell phones

[tuxfan]

I need to buy 2 handsets for the office staff. They are likely to be used roughly.

Can anyone please suggest some entry level rough-n-tough GSM handset? I don't want to spend too much on this.

Thanks.

Depends. Do you wanna go for non color or color ? If you wanna go for non color, then the best would be the Nokia 1100. As for color, it also depends. You could go for the Samsung X200, the SE K310i, or even the 6030 or 3220. These are all pretty good. Though wait for more suggestions

Go for Motorola's C115 (not sure on the model). It's less than 30$. That's the cheapest GSM phone. Quite sturdy as well.

I'd say Nokia. Cos the build quality of Nokia has been better than other manufacturer's IMO.

+1 for the 1100 damn sturdy too

Well, no fancy - that means a 1100 will do. Very good and very useful.

Moto costs less than 1.5k bucks. It's cheaper than 1100. When you buy 2 phones, moto is a good choice. If you're gonna use for a long time, you need not even think of exchanges and stuffs. Moto is perfect. I think it costs around $30 only.

wat does a new 1100 cost.. Abt 1.6k.. Nd 2nd hand abt 1k... Isnt dat cheap..

how bout nokia 3315 lolz

 

[tuxfan]

Thanks guys for your opinions.

I will surely have a look at the entry level moto and N1100. Any models from SonyEriccon?

N3315 is out of question as manufacturing is stopped since long. I don't want second hand handsets. And actually, that is the one that I am replacing

Rough + tough + cheap + good = N 1100

1112 will do as it has WHITE display instead of green or blue as in case of 1100 (looks cheap)
