    Here are some of the phones you can choose from with a budget of Rs 10,000.

Today we look at some phones for those with a budget of 10K. This list will not only help you choose a good phone within your budget, but will also let you enjoy features that you wouldn't mind spending for.

As I went through and selected the best phones in this price bracket, I realised that the list was dominated by one single manufacturer - Sony Ericsson. Now I'm not saying that there aren't any good phones from other brands but then the Sony Ericsson phones I've picked are worth the money you'd shell out.

Motorola L9 - 6500



The Motorola L9 was the first low-priced handset to offer A2DP as I remember. I had suggested this phone to a couple for friends who wanted a second phone and the comfort of wireless stereo audio. I agree it has the older Motorola interface but it has been tweaked to operate much better.

The phone does a good job providing sufficient battery and handling calls. It has a 2MP camera but is not all that good capturing still images. However, the video is a CIF, which is pretty decent. Overall the phone has the looks and it does have a decent offering at its price point. Plus you get a 512 memory card bundled along.

Looks like a copy of Phones under 10-15k diwali 2007 Article ( if there was one that time) All the phone are time tested and are too old for the honours except W350 which is fairly new... Gosh I had a look at lots of new ones last week and most of these are not available in the market. I tried to get SE610i in 2007 march and i was told the production is stopped. I have'nt seen any piece in any shops after that. Frazier is one of the best revievers I have read. But Dude, you are showing AGE now....

I think the reviewer is should study / research a little more before reviewing. The article says that SE K790i is the only 3.2MP phone in sub 10K category. However, there is LG KP320 as well at a far lesser price than SE K790i. Moreover, why any phone from Samsung, which is now number 2 company, is not included? I really think that the review qulity of TechTree is falling rapidly.... Plz do more research before writing...... I am a regular visitor of techTree, but writing first time......
