arnuld 12 Report post Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) I want to buy a QWERTY phone. Can someone suggest a single SIM handset with these features, price less than 7-8K. Please suggest both CDMA and GSM handsets (no dual-mode or dual-sim handsets): Music Phone with 3.5mm jack. Music can be played in background so that I can check SMSs while listening songs 1.3 MP camera. Call and Voice recording (optional) Bluetooth Good Battery Backup (more than 1100 mAh ??) Lots of SMSs, so comfortable keypad no 3G I prefer branded phones. Edited March 22, 2011 by arnuld Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted March 21, 2011 Go for Samsung Chat335 (old handset) or if it is NOT available, go for Chat322 (almost same with DualSIM, but whatz the harm in using it as SingleSIM)... Both are having 1000mAh battery, but much better battery backup, from my experience... Else go for C3... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnuld 12 Report post Posted March 22, 2011 Samsung chat 335 and 332 seem good. Nokia C3 does not have outside volume key. Did I forget to mention that I need to type lots of SMSs (not just forward, but type). OP updated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sougatadc 358 Report post Posted March 23, 2011 As you are a heavy SMSer, SWYPE would be the best option for you. It can save a lot of time and effort in typing words. For this you have to have a touch-screen phone. If you can stretch your budget a bit (by 2K more), you can have a decent touch-screen, SWYPE input, android smart phone, which has 5MP camera, GPS and WiFi among other goodies. I'm talking about Motorola CLIQ XT which you can buy at Rs. 10,387 from ebay. Check it friend, before taking decision otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted March 23, 2011 @arnuld Why don't you consider Palm Pixi Plus (With Wi-Fi) available with Sadikkbhai at an absolutely unbelievable price of approx 5K. This is a beauty of a Smartphone with both touch and physical QWERT keypad. If and when you can actually see this phone, all those entry level Samsung and Nokia's are toys in comparison. There is nothing which can come close to it at this price... That too Officially Registered with Reliance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sougatadc 358 Report post Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) I believe that this phone has no RUIM slot, so can you pl tell how do we get it activated with TATA connection on it Yes, almost all of the imported CDMA handsets by the GURUs here are non-RUIM handsets. And this is not easy at all to make it unlocked and particularly activation on TataIndicom is the toughest part of the whole process. If you want a new phone for TataIndicom, go for the one that Tushar has offered. He is highly dependable for getting a new handset on TataIndicom.

You just need to visit Tata Hub, to get your no. activated on to this handset. I will provide rest of the details later on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
