Flip phone & Symbian? :scared14: If I'm not wrong, Nokia 7020 is S40. Right? Perhaps you could look at the Samsung C3520, Motorola Gleam EX212. The sexiest flip phone of all time is definitely the Moto RAZR v3/v3i(for me at least).
You could get one from ebay - New Motorola RAZR V3 Black Unlocked Cellular Phone 0826179095506 | eBay & New in Box Blcak Motorola RAZR V3i Unlocked U s Seller 822248023241 | eBay
Razr v3 should cost around 3.4k & v3i around 4.7k [both from ebay (via ishop)] :)

Best flip phones I can think of are the Sony Ericsson W980i and the Nokia N76.

You should be easily able to get them from ebay.com via any sns service.

Yes.. both the other devices are available in india officially.. i am still biased towards the RAZR though.. i think there's a 100 songs limitation when syncing through itunes.. v3i supports a max of 2gb microsd cards.. its just that when moto announced the phone, 512mb was the memory it could test the phone with..
Gleam is also a pretty good looking phone.. no restrictions on memory card capacity either, so u can have a look at that too..

Post edited. The link had affiliation id. Please make sure that you delete the affid or trackid or subtrackid when posting the link in the forum. When you click on a link from any price comparison site it will have one of the above ids.
@sriharsha - The gleam is a pretty good model and infibeam is reliable. You can go ahead with the purchase since you would also have local warranty unlike an imported razr.

Not sure about EMI. If you are getting a 0% interest rate then thats a good deal.

But is EMI available for a 3k item in infibeam and is it applicable for item where you apply a coupon?
