What connection is it? Reliance, MTS or TATA. Based on that, you can find some more phones.

I don't think there are any options available in that budget. Hopefully you might get some 2011/2012 item for that money. There was a Motorola device (I guess Motorola Fire) which I saw being sold for 3999. And here's a used Samsung Android phone on ebay: http://www.ebay.in/itm/Samsung-gala...97206?pt=IN_Mobile_Phones&hash=item4acfddc3d6 You can look out for more samsung phone, but I'm afraid...just like how I can't find good Flip Phone, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a good CDMA phone as well. You'll have to compromise somewhere! However, if you find something awesome, do share it with everyone.

If you are making only phone calls then get either Samsung DigiRap (if you can find) or Samsung SCH-B339. Both are solid phones with very good signal strength and call quality. Don't get SCH-B229 because it has signal strength issues.
