Need advice on a Nokia/SE Bar Shaped Phone between 6k - 12k

[Icarus]

I need advice on buying a Nokia/SE Bar Shaped Phone for my mum.
My budget is between 8k-12k. Don't need QWERTY / email.
Needs to be a recent model.
Have already ruled out: Nokia - C3, C5, 6700 Classic, 6303i, X2

Samsung Wave

SE Elm

SE Yari

SE Zylo

Get her a E52

or even SE Elm

Also Nokia X3 is a good low budget phone

how about a touch screen one ?

E52 - seems like a business phone to me. Was thinkin of something more stylish.
A touch screen is the only option in Nokia, cos i don't think any standard keypad ones are worth it.
SE Elm is quite nice. How much is it for right now?

A C5 wouldve been great ( also because i am using one ), since the keypad is easy to use with big buttons. and like recommended above, the X3 also has nice curving backside for comfort of usage.

I would suggest E52 as well, in terms of features its C5 + wifi mainly, but then it looks amazing! ( E52, which incidentally i own as well!! )

Thanks guys, bought the SE Elm for 8.8K from Alfa with bill. My mum loved it!
Response time is a bit slow, and the cam wasn't as good as i expected, but everything else is worth it.
Only the black-silver one is lauched in India, so couldn't get a pink one.

Also got below quotes:
Mobile Store: 9.7K
Croma: 9.8k
Futurebazaar: don't stock it
Wonder how can there be such a big difference.

those branded stores always charge you high

Alfa is best to buy cell phones

They have lowest rates especially on less common ones like SE, HTC and BB
