There is no android phone in that budget with a front camera.
AFAIK the only phone that is close to your needs is the Nokia C5.
http://www.letsbuy.com/nokia-white-p-17095 Rs. 7,333 - Rs.1,000 = Rs.6,333.

1. No touch screen necessary. If touch is there, keypad also should be there. - Keypad
2. Prefer QWERTY - normal Keypad
3. Prefer Android, symbian also OK - Symbian
4. Good battery life and voice clarity. - Yes
5. Good music. and camera just for random clicks. - Yes
6. Should be good for 3G. - Yes (HSDPA, 10.2 Mbps; HSUPA, 2 Mbps)
7. Need front cam for video calls. - Yes (VGA camera)

Dark Angel,
I would like to buy a dual GSM SIM phone with Android OS and touch screen. How is the F8 phone being advertised by Naaptol? Appreciate your advice.

I wouldnt advice the dual SIM androids. They are not very powerful and not from good brands. Better stick to the best Android within your budget and get a secondary phone for ~1k.

My mom is principal. She wants a new phone her primary requirement is just bigger phone-book & better battery backup nothing else. Used to talk more & connect to more ppl. She will never use any other feature. Budget phones are welcome.
No any brand restriction all are same . . . for small phones.

What say abt this > Karbonn k570

Karbonn mobiles | Quality mobile phones with AM FM Radio and all advanced features
+ 1000 phone book
+ PC Sync - Hope phone book sync is there
+ Good Battery

- No Java (She might never use, but installing opera mini might be handy)

Any other option ... ?

LG Optimus One... but not so sure about the music quality aspect of it. It ticks all your other requirements though.

Why you want a phone for music ? No matter how much you spend you won't get a quality of a pmp.

I will say get a Clip + / 8/16gb depending on your collection and rockbox it.

As far as phone is consider any sturdy phone will do. Under 10k capacitive touch might be hard to find all I can see is Dell XCD35.

^^ I understand the limitations of a mobile as a music player. But my cousin doesn't. :)

@agantuk: LG Optimus one is one option. But I'm looking for alternatives, especially from Nokia or SE.

There is a like button in the right hand side corner of the posts. Use it if you like a post.

Else press the star shaped person to rep a person for his post.

P.S: Why did you quote a 6 months old post for that :S

THanks for the recommendations. My cousin now says that camera need not be a priority. Only touchscreen (either resistive or capacitive) and music are most important. Does that change the options available?
