Buying a Phone Today. Help! Budget ~7k

Godlike! · 04-12-10

So the title says it all guys!

Help me get the best at this price.
Requirements:

Has to be used by my sis who texts and talks a lot (like all other females

)

I was trying to dupe her into buying the Micromax A60 so that I could do a review

But on the other hand, I don't want her to get stuck with that android phone as I've seen the best of tech freaks bow down and surrender the android platform.

Looking forward to your opinions!

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Godlike!

nokia C5. 7.2k or something. Good looks, and a great keypad for texting.

DOn't crap he android by saying tec freaks bow down to Android. I am using it and it isn't that bad. However for 7k you are unlikely to get a good Android, the A60 is a screen disaster in the making so don't even think of it. Is this for the special occasion you mentioned on phone?

Anyways to the topic, I would recommend the C5 too or 5250

I'm not maligning android n00b

All I'm saying is that when some of the so called tech freaks even surrendered the android, how can we possible expect females to struggle with it. That's all

So C5 it'll be then. Thanks JD666 and Mohit.

Nokia C3 or Nokia 5230 .
C5 is somewhat outta his budget.
I would also suggest Samsung Corby Pro.Its a non android but good for ur needs.
anyway,5230 is my fav.
