Dont Buy D-88n From Spice, Please do not buy Spice D-88n Please do not buy Spice D-88n unless you do not require customer support & want to use this phone as a dummy in a showroom. Here is what I have observed since few months after purchasing this handset: There is serious problem in the CDMA messaging part of this phone, some messages which you receive normally on other phones will be shown as blank, with just number & time of msg, without any content. If you delete any message, then other messages nearby will get the same message you just deleted & the sender will be as it was before. I am able to make the wap browser work through reliance CDMA, but it is not supporting other wap website. I am unable to run Operamin, preloaded with the phone. The phone restarts when operamini starts network setup. Preloaded operamini version is very old & look tacky, never version I've used on other phones are sleek & have more functionality, operamini website does not advertise this phone as supported model. The supplied earphone does not function as expected, button on it does not accepts or hangsup calls & is of very cheap quality at par with the phones in Rs.700-800 price band. There is no option to load other jar based Java programs or games.

I am also facing the same problem, this phone lacks basic mobile phone features of correctly managing SMS. I have written many emails to customer care of spice, but nobody cared to reply even after more than a month. Support is pathetic for this phone, the advertised features do not work. I am attaching mail sent to the customer care, for all to see & be carefull: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ from Netrafter<XXXXXX@gmail.com> Jun 18 to lokesh <lokesh@spicemobile.in>, customercare <customercare@spicemobile.in>, deepak <deepak.verma@spicemobile.in> date Jun 18, 2008 8:22 PM subject Re: Spice D-88n mailed-by gmail.com Hi All, It seems that the preinstalled Operamini is not able to connect, i have tried many options but all in vain. Please help me by guiding: How to make operamini work on my phone (via reliance CDMA), I am even unable to make it work on GSM, GPRS. The phone just reboots at the point when operamini needs to check network setting. How to upgrade to new operamini version 4.1 How to load other Java (.jar, .jad) application on my phone. In built browser is not able to go to any other site than Spice-Gang, even known wap addresses give "Directory listing denied, directory listing denied" error, please help on this as well.

There is no "customer support" & also no basic courtesy to acknowledge communication. All my prevoius mails regarding any issue were unacknowledged & unanswered till date. The handset lacks basic functionality like messaging, a simple thing like SMS sending/storing & retreival does not happen properly on this handset. Same way another basic functionality like reciving calls does not work as expected, other party may hear your number ringing but you will see that the phone is in idle mode. I hope someone will come forward & provide a solution or at least offer to work on it. Regards Netrafter
