Hi guys, i'm new here. I saw the 5130 at the webworld, and had an oppurtunity to play with it for a while. The speaker is much better sounding than the 2030, and it can actually play bass sounds without breaking up. The ringtones are far better. The guys there told me that the USB data cable shud be available soon, but didnt say nething abt ringtone download from PC. When i askd they just said "u can download from r-world".
The handset looks cool, the keypad is good for smsing and suits my fat fingers, the 4 way keypad works fine, and the set feels light. The screen has awesome clarity, the interface is crisp, and best of all there's no lag for menus like sony ericsson and motorola's cheap GSM color handsets. The OS can easily keep up with the user's key presses. The colors are vivid and the downloaded photos look fantastic. Didnt try calling, but the call quality should be as good as the 2030 (better if the dealer is to be beleived).
The 5130 seems to be really good value for only Rs. 5000, considering the 65k color screen and the functions offered. My friend just bought a Sony Ericsson T230 and it cost Rs. 5000. it has only a 4K color screen, and the menu lag is terrible. but currently, he has a low tariff of only 1ps/sec from BPL MOTS, and that kind of offsets it.
Why is it that reliance users cant send sms to BSNL cellone/excel subscribers? And what is the matter with the call quality? It is nowhere near that offered by GSM providers. I thought CDMA was supposed to provide more voice clarity than GSM. And the handsets are supposed to be 3G too. Still, Reliance offers the best handsets for the prices they charge.
