Saurav 22 Report post Posted January 6, 2009 I have got GSM SIM of Reliance & to be very honest I have never owned GSM till date. I Own HTC S720 & my pocket does not permit me purchase a similar budget handset. Budget Max 5000/- Kindly guide to choose cheap & best handset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arun 795 Report post Posted January 6, 2009 I believe there is one Nokia handset which has EDGE support and costs around 5k, forgot the model #. Go for it since Reliance GSM has full EDGE support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honest 836 Report post Posted January 6, 2009 My dear Saurav, in my view, you should purchase 3G enabled handset. As you know that 3G is going to be launched soon throughout India. Expand your budged a little and get a 3G handset instead. Although I'm not sure at what minimum budget you will get a 3G gsm handset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

srk006 21 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) Go for Nokia 6233. It is 3G handset and very reasonably priced. Around Rs.7100. I think this is the cheapest 3G handset available or is there any from LG or Samsung? Edited January 7, 2009 by srk006 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saurav 22 Report post Posted January 13, 2009 Today I finally purchased Samsung J150 Features I liked 1. EDGE Support. 2. Cost 4500/- Most Interesting feature which even my Rs 18,000/- handset lacks ie CONVERSATION RECORDING or CALL RECORDING. Both Sides. A really good phone.
