Well,you can expect a phone with dual sim capability to be cheap..

you might as well buy a normal phone,where you can change your sim really fast !:ashamed:

he's right...limited choices !

What I ask was

1) Which is Cheapest (Rough & Tough) Mobile phone
2) can hold dual sim
3) with good battery life &
4) loud ring tone/sound with
4) good signal reception power in low signal area,
5) if have FM will be added advantage.

and I think from above 5 criteria only one is answered by Experts here

and that too for No.2 query. Rest 4 still pending :S

dude...frankly i have no clue about phones with dual sim capability..
don't think anyone here knows much bout this..
But if you do consider a normal (single sim!)phone that's cheap & satisying your other reqs.,then i'd recommend any one of the fllg:
Nokia 2310 - 2.1k
SE J120i - 2K
Motorola W209 1.7k
