hi, I wanna buy a clamshell phone to my wife

these are what I found and like:

Samsung G400 Soul
+ touch-screen
- can't see under direct sun (**)

Nokia 6600 Fold
+ looks very slick
- unreliable, some ppl report phone gonk after months usage (****)

Sony Ericsson W980
+ walkman
- don't really like design (personal)


** according to review
**** according to online posts


I believe these are below 1.5k

anyone help feedback? especially anything about faulty/unreliable thingy

tq
