Forget those chinese brands.

Get the Motorola EX 115.

thanks for reply its good phone but out of my budget it is nearly 4.5k while my budget is within 2.5k

and akai is japanese company not chinese

i found samsung E1252 good but its non qwerty.

i think its difficult to get good branded qwerty in this price.

samsung chat is also good but overpriced at 4.5k

If you buy those rebranded chinese handsets, then it may cost you 2.5-3K in theory. Practically you will spend 2.5 * 2 = 5K. I know there are some cases like my brother bought LAVA A9 and its still working fine after 1 year and don't consider yourself that much lucky, look at other 90% of the cases.

MORAL: but a good branded handset. Nokia C3, C5, Samsung chat 335, 225 etc. Searching this forum will give you lots of results.

I had Motorola EX128, touch screen dual sim. Both Ex128 and EX115 were laucnhed together by Motorola and EX128 was a lot cheaper in sound quality, seemed like a defective piece and hence I don't expect much good things from EX115 too.

I am using a Samsung C3212 Duos for the past 4 months, and am perfectly happy with it. Cost me around 2.5k.

thanks all the guys for your reply finally today i researched the market and settled for samsung chat322 for 4.3k happy and satisfied with it.

thanks everyone and as most people suggested go with good brand and have peace of mind rather than buying those chinese and worrying.
