Cheap, Rugged phone with good battery.

[bikdel]

I need a cheap phone at around 2-3k.

• should be rugged and sturdy build
• should be ergnomic
• should be responsive to use
• should have a clear screen easy to view
• should catch the network really well
• should give me at least 3-4 days battery backup under normal use
• calling n sms should be easy as breeze, need alarm clock as well
• no other function required

something really dependable and a good backup phone to take with you when you go to rural areas and work well in remote areas.

thanks in advance..

buy moto yuva with mp3 one for 3k

[ico]

Get Moto Yuva W230 instead of W180.......Its the best under 3K fone...

It has got both MP3 player and FM......

[bikdel]

they arent what i asked... i need a basic phone... without mp3 etc.... no high end function other than SMS, calling, and Alarm ....

i dont know about the ruggedness of W180.. any users? how tough is it? does it survive 1.5 m falls every other day?... Motorola user interface is one i really hate....

does it actually giev 9.5 hrs talktimethat are written on its specs?.

any more ppl who know about some more phones that i can have a look at?...

Added: and one dear friend wants to buy either a w230 or a w270... and wants prices for them.. if u could help please... i hope they provide good battery backup....


thanks

Close your eyes and get Moto Yuva 180.
The best phone in its class.

I got the moto yuva 230 for my mom yesterday !!
The voice clarity and network reception is just fantastic. Plus, fantastic looks and scratch proof body !!

[desiibond]

yep. I know a friend using W180 and it certainly gives lot of talktime. Didn't count it actually but definitely should give 9.5.

[bikdel]

ok... all ppl say w180?.... lets go with it...

whats the best bargain i can get???..

also this friend of mine wants to know the price of w230 and w270... any help here? he also needs it to have a lot of talktime.....

Nice joke

[Pathik]

Nope seriously. Nokia does rule in the sub 2k cheap, no frills fone category.

^^ W180 comes with crystal talk technology, which negates noise like traffic sounds etc and the resulting call quality is simply breathtaking. Superb. I have the Motorokr E6 and still am amazed by the loudness and clarity of calls on W180. Nokia phones nowhere come near to this one.
