Budget WiFi Phone that can also act as a WiFi Hotspot ?

[rajshah]

The iPhone with pdaNet / MyWi can do it.

I guess, Androids can do it too !

Any other budget phones, which can also double up as WiFi hotspots ?

It would make sense in no WiFi areas, as one could use the phone's 3g to surf on multiple devices simultaneously !

any Nokia S60 phone with wifi can do it with JoikuSpot...

Any recommendation ?

^^ E63 has limited 3G of 384kbps

SO its waste

I recommend getting Samsung Galaxy 5 for 9k - Android

OK. Thanks for the heads up. Androids have default WiFi tethering ? Or some specific (good) app for it ?

OK. Will lookout for that too. Have a friend with an E71. Will try before taking the final decision.
