A lot of people are looking for a phone that does everything but doesn't cost too much. Generally they wouldn't want to spend more than 5-6k on a new phone. Here is a selection of a few phones that are under 5k (and some that are just marginally higher) that give you the most bang for your buck and don't suck.
LG G1600 - Rs. 4650
A dual-band GSM/GPRS (900/1800) handset that's 10.4 cm high, 4.4cm wide, 1.7cm thick and weighs 83g. It has a 65k color STN display with a 128x128 resolution. The phone has around 1.1mb of shared memory, and stores upto 200 phonebook entries with 6 fields each, apart from the ones in the SIM card. Also, it can store upto 100 SMS messages in the phone memory. It supports Java and has two games - Space Ball and Submarine. Supports WAP 1.2.1, GPRS Class 10 and MMS. The phone has a 950 mAh Li-Ion battery that offers upto 2.5 hours of talk and upto 250 hours of stand by time. This is a Bill/Warranty price, so you may be able to get it for cheaper.
Nokia 2600 - Rs. Rs. 4500
