SPICE QUALITY IS BETTER THAN NOKIA???? Oh come-on Ramesh don't compare the rare situations.. We all know "One should either LEAD or FOLLOW or GET LOST (wrt a project), But NOKIA is doing ALL-3 at the same time, wrt CDMA market".. That is the reason for its FAILURE in CDMA market, which I have told already here and NOT DUE TO LACK OF QUALITY, except some rare occurrences.. I am even using a Nokia2865, which was run over once by my friends TataIndica (Tata car on a Tata phone) car & it went off.. On switching it off, it started working like before... Hard to believe, but I promise it is TRUE..
We have to blame NOKIA CARE and NOKIA PRIORITY guys for milking the customers who come with faith in them.. Yes I too won't give my Nokia for service to CARE, but to some local friends.. Their service is much better.. But still, the quality of the NOKIA phone (wrt battery backup, NETWORK COVERAGE, build quality) is much better that you will have no or very little chance to goto service centre for repairing & that too mostly by wrong handling or accident or minor errors and not due to lack of quality...
YES, even their Basic phones are over-priced... But you can be sure it will go on for minimum 2 to 3 years working (can you be sure that ur Spice can go working without fault for years, NO CHANCE) and when comparing that advantage that small extra Rs paid is NOT BIG.. Do you know why SPICE is giving 2 Batteries for your phone
The only problem known now wrt smartphones (GSM ofcourse) are NOKIA is nowadays releasing them without much stable firmware.. But for regular smartphone users, firmware upgrade is not a big task, since you need not take it to CARE for the same.. But still it is a -ve remark for them anyway... My E71 is as hard as rock, even though my child has thrown it a hundred times on the mosaic floor and I too have dropped it accidently on stair case for twice..
NOKIA CORPORATION is avery very nice company.. It has given replacement battery for the whole batch as replacement, when it suspected a few batteries of the batch has problem.. I have got 5 new batteries BL-5C 1020mAh for the old BL-5C 970mAh batteries for FREE (All for my staff's Nokia2112 phones given by me).. But KEEP AWAY FROM THE NOKIA CARE guys and even Priority (their rates are highest) ones too...
I am using Spice D-88 Gold and I usually call it as "SAME CHINESE $HIT in new colour"... And I have not used LG for a long period till now..
