Best cellphone for under P15k?

The 3 carriers are heavily subsidizing the units just to get users to commit their cashflow for the next 2 years. If you can, why not get a postpaid plan and have one of the carriers pay for your unit? Imagine mo in one promo, XDA 2 for 1,800 monthly for 2 years from Globe.
Ganito na rin sa Japan and US...almost everyone gets their unit with their plans.

Try the Samsung E-600, Clamshell , small, with camera, good resolution, very light, P 14,000 brand new. Got my wifey one, she's very satisfied after disposing of her p 800.

I'm using a Nokia 3200... currently priced at around P9,000 at Greenhills.

has most of the features most people are looking for in a celfone these days:
-tri-band (I went to europe for almost a month and also stopped over at hong kong, no problems).
-color display
-polyphonic ring tunes (true tunes also if you can convert wav/mp3 files to its native format)
-digital camera (a bit limited but functional)
-customizable case
-flashlight
-infrared connection
-gprs capable
-very loud speaker
-fm radio
-voice recorder (you can record your own ring tunes)
-battery is good for 3 days (with vibrate on and some voice calls)

downsides:
-weird keypad (but I got used to it in a couple of weeks)
-limited memory (1 meg, not expandable)
-can not take video clips
-screen display quality is inferior as compared to N6230.

i agree... the keypad is just weird, but i also got used to it na...
downside: 1 meg of memory (and no expandable memory option) pero already good for a simple lifestyle...

OT: di pala ako nagiisa sa paggamit ng 3200...

is the t630 faster than the t610? ang bagal kasi ng t610. i like it but yung nga, mabagal, tapos minsan naga-hang

T630 ata ang hinahanap ko. Malaking screen, TFT na yung screen (pwede na gamitin sa labas). Pero medyo makapal pa rin ang case. Gusto ko talaga manipis at magaan. I'd sacrifice the camera if I could have the phone half as thin. Any suggestions?

Malaki pa rin yung 7250. Nasanay na rin ako sa malaking screen ng T610.

Akala ko mga 6 months ago lumabas daw isang cellphone galing China, thinest cellphone in the world daw.

what i did was to get a t610 and have a custom leather case made, minus the belt attachment and medyo streamlines sya, so fits easily in my pants pocket.

my next phone will be the t630
