If you can add Rs. 500 somehow then get a 5130 XpressMusic.

Or if you don't mind charging battery DAILY (not too good if you listen to lot of music) then get a 7210 Supernova which *might* fit into your budget.

But best is to wait for Nokia 2700 Classic which would come for 4K.

Nokia 5130 express music is around 5.2k, its a good music phone.
Value for money

Surely you can go for 5130 or have a look on slimy 7210.

If its for your sister then get 7210 , nice looking phone and girls do love it . Should be just shy above 5k(~5100) . Perfect for your requirment.

I am not sure but i think se w305i is well below 5k now . That phone have killer looks and design , you might consider it .


5130 is great phone feature wise but rarely value feature over looks , that why i recommended those phone.

Nokia 7210 is just under 5k better buy 5130 for 5.3 or 5.4 it comes with 1gb card so more vfm

3110c, old and fat, yet, good enough.

[nikhilpai]

Nokia 5130 anyday over the 7210, 3110c or 3500.
Its a no-brainer actually

[sujoyp]

I see samsung 3500 better in every way then 5130 just that it dont have a 3.5 jack

SAmsung 3500 have bigger screen 2.2 inch vs 5130 2inch
Better talk time
16million 320x240 screen while 5130 have 256k
qvga recording while 5130 have qcif

Cost ?
And does it have dedicated music keys ?
Also, I don't like samsung's OSes much compared to nokia and SE OSes.

[fishingwand]

^^
Two reasons, why I won't buy Samsung: OS and phone design.
The OS seems primitive in comparison to the OS of Nokia and SE. The design of the phones aren't great either, who needs a big-ass Samsung logo in the front?

[sujoyp]

I still think samsung look better...price 5385 @ univercell

[Tamoghno]

Samsung definitly look better , but the os is really bad.
Also , samsung is legend for its super crap call quality.

my dad has samsung guru 1410. awesome keypad but simply pathetic os and the keys for different characters are not same as other phones.

samsung has always had this issue of being the odd one out.
