Another "what cellphone to buy" thread

Budget: Php 8,000 to Php 12,000 (can increase budget when needed)

Primary uses for the phone:

1.) SMS

2.) Phone calls

3.) very basic calendar function



Features I am looking for:

1.) Long and reliable battery life

2.) Good keyboard layout and feel

3.) At least colored screen (even if its not hi-res)

4.) Triband and if possible QUAD band (I know it would be a bit of a stretch)

5.) Camera capable phone (maybe 2MP or above, is that possible with this budget?)

6.) Able to be back-up through the PC.

7.) Simple/basic calendar features

8.) Considering a brick (shaped) phone to minimize damage with moving parts. I'm open to flip phones but NOT sliding phones bec. they are thicker than the abovementioned.

9.) User-friendly phone software interface (bec. I don't have the time to study the manual :D)

10.) Can be purchased locally and comes with distributor backed warranty. NO second hand units or gray market units.

11.) Brand name mobile phone companies only i.e. : Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, etc... Not interested in any brandless Chinese designed/engineered phones.




> Given the abovementioned parameters, pls. help suggest a brand and model for my purchase consideration,.

> If possible, pls give a cost estimate and best place to acquire the unit.

Thanks!
