Expectations from a low-end phone

Posted by Super G
I'm curious. What do you expect from a low-end phone in your country of residence (please mention where you live also)?
Price, features, etc.

Simple. Calls and texts. No camera, no MP3 tones.

around Ł30.

Currently its the Nokia 1100, 15-20 pounds here in SA, but for me i expect a low end phone to have a std vga cam, 4000 colour screen, 10 mb internal mem... no mp3, polyphonic.... pretty much like a Sam e700 now would be considered a low end phone.

In India,mobile phone manufacturers r still wooing custmers with colour screen.people here want a colour screen,good looks,long battery life,large sms storage,scratch resistant body,basic calls and sms (no need of gprs) and a cheap price.
i saw an ad today of a moto colour screen phone for Rs 3000(around 70$).
T610 is still popular in India as its one of the cheapest,good looking camera phone and costs around Rs 6000-7000.

and yeah,people here in India use a phone for 2-5 years.
