Any suggestions for basic FM phone
I need a basic, entry-level phone with FM. My budget is maximum Rs.3000/-. Do not need a camera, MP3, Bluetooth, and other fancies. Features in decreasing order of preference are: - FM radio (stereo) - Decent to good battery (at least 2-3 days w/o charging) - Good reception outside city - Alarm - Vibration mode - Handsfree/speaker - PC connection (USB) - Stopwatch Any views/reviews about the Radiomoto W209. Seems pretty close to what I want but doesn't have USB and not sure about its outside-city reception. TIA |

Re: Any suggestions for basic FM phone
Moto C168 has all the things other than speaker and pc conectivity. i am using it and its fultoo VFM.
I bought this fone for two things only, 250 SMSs and FM radio. And am fully satified with it. Last edited by realfan4ever; 26-04-2007 at 10:49 PM. |

Re: Any suggestions for basic FM phone
I think you can try Motorola W209 as you suggest
http://indiagsm.com/viewdetails.php?...brand=Motorola Or you can try to extend your budget a bit and get the MotoFlip W220, The new W series has the cute LED indicators on top too. And its got great FM. http://indiagsm.com/viewdetails.php?...brand=Motorola

Re: Any suggestions for basic FM phone
moto c168 is what i suggest. the reception is very good. a slim phone and well within ur budget. do not buy 6030, its got mono fm. but disadvantage wid c168 is that there's no pc connectivity (why wud u need it anyway?)

Re: Any suggestions for basic FM phone
j230i is a good choice. but be forewarned that it doesn't haf an in built modem. meaning, tho u can use the net on phone, u can't connect it to ur pc and browse!

Re: Any suggestions for basic FM phone

Re: Any suggestions for basic FM phone
acutally the motorola W208, W209 seem to be quite good...problem is they are released newly and no one has written a complete review yet...no one knows how it performs...so i suggest you wait for some time until these two sets are reviewed and then make a choice...
btw, if anyone have use either of those two sets (W208, W209), please give ur opinions on them...
