LG Optimus Pro C660
LG recently added this touch and type phone to its line-up. It is a simple and practical device with a 2.8 inch multi-touch screen and Qwerty keypad. The keypad works well.
Pro C660 runs on Gingerbread (Android 2.3), coupled with an 800 MHz processor. It has 3G (at a limiting speed of 3.6 Mbps); it has WiFi with hotspot capabilities, and standard Android features like GPS. The device uses Bluetooth v3.0, which is fast.
There is a 3.15 megapixel camera at the back but none in front. The memory on this phone can be expanded to 32 GB with a MicroSD card and it also has 150 MB of internal storage. The 1500 mAh battery is good for more than a day of medium use. The best part of this phone is its price of Rs 10,000. You can read a full review of the LG Optimus Pro C660 here.
Motorola Fire XT311 (Rs 8,800)
Motorola Fire is very similar in design to the LG Optimus Pro, with the same screen size, form factor, and Android version. Fire is cheaper than Optimus Pro by more than Rs 1,000 because it has a less powerful processor.
The phone is better to look at, with a glossy finish, and has a new user interface, which Motorola calls Mode Switch, that separates work from play.
The 3G download speed is also better in Motorola Fire with speeds up to 7.2 Mbps. The camera is a 3 megapixel unit, andits 1420 mAh battery is weaker than that of the LG device.
The phone costs Rs 8,800.

Nokia X3-02 (Rs 7,600)
Nokia X3-02 touch and type looks really good, especially in white, which is surprising for a Nokia.
Like all Nokia phones, this device has impeccable build quality and good battery life.

Nokia X3-02 has a music player with dedicated music key. You can flip through albums and enjoy high quality games, listen to the radio, use instant messaging and get the latest numbers from Ovi Music Store.
The phone's 5 megapixel auto focus camera is the best in this list.
The phone comes with 3G, WiFi and Bluetooth for connectivity. At Rs 7,600, though, it is slightly expensive, as with a little bit more you can get a smartphone with a bigger and better screen with many more features. But this is a good buy for Nokia fans for sure. You can read the review here.
