Samsung Corby/Star
Samsung is totally starting to take over the touchscreen market with new touchscreen phones being launched every few days. The newest phone in their continuing assault is the affordable Samsung Corby. Priced at just Rs. 7,800, the Corby has a lot of features that belies its price. For starters there is a large 2.8", QVGA touchscreen display. The touchscreen is of the capacitive type, which previously was only found on more expensive phones like the iPhone.
It includes Samsung's TouchWiz UI with support for widgets. The Corby comes with widgets for all the popular social networking websites such as Twitter, Facebook, Orkut, MySpace, etc. You can also instantly upload pictures taken from the 2 Megapixel camera of the phone to image uploading sites like Flickr and Photobucket. The phone comes with user replaceable rear covers in four different covers. The phone comes with an excellent web browser based on the WebKit engine, which makes browsing much more fun. Overall, it's an excellent phone for a very affordable price.
Alternatively, if you are looking for a bigger, higher resolution display you can go for the Samsung Star that sells for just 700 rupees more and for that extra money gives you an accelerometer and 3.2 megapixel camera.

Nokia E63
Business phones have always been expensive before, but not anymore. Nokia E63 is now available for Rs. 10,500 and considering all the features that it has- such as a full QWERTY keypad, QVGA display, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Symbian S60 OS with support for all the applications and multi-tasking, the Nokia E63 is very good value for money. Add to it the great build quality and good battery life and the E63 is a great business phone. Also, with the new all-black colour the phone looks great as well.
