@ sinner : Thanks sinner, I think I will go for it. I had seen reviews on youtube but no where they had mentioned about GPS.

5030 xpress radio is a very good basic phone.with this phone you dont have to even insert a headphone to switch on the radio.i found the keys to be very hard.otherwise no problem.i would suggese 2323 classic too which is a new arrival.5030 is priced at 2350 in bangalore & 2323 classic is priced at 2450.note 2323 also has bluetooth.

Hope this helps.

Are you experiencing long GPS locking times? I have to wait a long time before I get a lock.

@adithyav I get 1.5 days on very heavy usage, around 2 with moderate.

Very Urgent-
Need to gift a mobile to someone.
Budget 10k around and can be stretched to 12k.
Kindly suggest the good options.

I saw a LG KP500 yesterday for 9699.
Its a touchscreen phone and quiet light weight also. Was impressive but had always used Nokia so anyone with an LG experience or any info about this phone as well?

If its a she who's going to recieve the gift, Nokia 7610 Supernova should make the cut!

di1in · 20th July 2009, 18:36

Any opinion about that?

I have one of the last and only a handful of EF82's made from Kemp Lintfort factory.

Also have a S65 which has been running for 5 years.
An M55 which has been running for 6 years.

And am planning to get a brand new EL71 soon.

Never before have I seen such durability and engineering in any other phones.
