Sub 3k phone for dad

[pYe]

My dad lost his mobile today , looking for a no frills basic phone below 3000 .
the only requirement is that it should support FM radio without handsfree , Any suggestions ..? :huh:

 

[Punker]

well options are Nokia 2690,Nokia C1-01 and if you can stretch your budget a little then Nokia X2-01 and for radio you have to connect headphones.....

The Nokia low ends seems to be suffering from voice leak problems (Nokia 1616,1800 etc.. No sure about the new C series)

For your requirement grab a Samsung E1160~1.5k.(Guru series) Got one for my uncle a year back. Excellent model with loud stereo speakers for hands-free FM. Simple UI and good battery backup too

Check these out :

E2152 loaded dual sim

E2370 built like a tank review VIDEO

Thanx every 1 , E2152 seems the best bet out of those , 2370 is a bit gaudy looking . Not meant for "DAD's " .

^^ You could also check out the Samsung E2130. Decent phone for the price.

Nokia X2

 

[beanstalk_230]

Noob suggestion - X2-01 if qwerty suits him. Around 3.5k.

Looks good in flesh.

 

[bluediamond]

Bumping cos of same requirement..

can go upto 5k. Requirements camera and long battery life.. Dual Sim, 3g not needed.

Qwerty and touch also not needed.

Which one to go among Nokia x2 and Samsung c3530?

If you are looking for a phone, I will suggest you to go with Nokia. Nokia X2-02 is a good phone with wireless FM. Its price is around Rs 3K. If any phone can work then, you can select LG A190 or Spice M-6200
