Phone in the range of 7-8k.

[sriganesh]

I am looking for a phone in the range of 7-8k. I have no particular preference for touch/non-touch. I would like to know which is better in terms of
1. Call and music quality.
2. Camera/video recording quality
3. Viewing videos, PDF documents, office documents.
4. Overall best phone with optimal mix of all features in this price range.

I have short-listed the following:
Nokia C5
Nokia C5-03
Nokia C3-01
Nokia X2-01
Samsung Monte
Samsung 525
SE Elm
Any other, please suggest.

My first preference is for the camera and video recording function.

If you can slightly increase your budget, get LG Optimus One. Total value for money. Else check Nokia E5.

Thanks for the suggestion desiibond, but 8k is the max (after stretching the budget) I can keep. I do not want phones with lots of applications and games or phones boasting good operating systems. All I want is a phone that has good call quality, nice look, good music, good camera for photo and video recording purpose.

Also Nokia E5 is a QWERTY phone and sort of looks bulky. I do not require a Qwerty phone. What is your view on the phones I have shortlisted.

Samsung Monte would be a perfect buy according to your requirements!

It has got good call quality, nice look, good music, good camera for photo and video recording purpose.

and an awesome touch screen too!

Go for it!
