Dear Friends, Need your feedback on a phone purchase. I am currently using a Nokia N95 with a idea card. However, have purchased a BSNL card a few days back and rather than carrying 3 phones (have a company provided BB also), thought it'd be feasible to get a Dual Sim phone. Budget : MAX 15K Requirement : Dual SIM (GSM+GSM) Atleast 1K contacts memory Unlimited SMS memory (my N95 is running at 1950 sms's as of now) Excellent Battery Life (i travel a lot) Games installation Durable (i have a 3 year old son, who thinks Phones are for playing!!) Phone should also work as as Modem( i can connect it to my laptop and surf net on my laptop) Good looking Add ons (if they are there, then fine, else i can live without them) : Qwerty Keyboard, Touch screen etc. I have seen the following : Spice MI-270 Android as somebody told me that Android is good. However, got the above phone (MI270) from a dealer and the handset camera was not working. Got a replacement from him the 2nd day and in this handset the dial / home key are always glowing on (checked with somebody who is having the same instrument, and this should not be there). So worried about quality of Spice handsets. Additionally, BSNL is not having the GPRS settings for this phone and are going the sarkaari way in their response!! Somebody recommended Samsung STAR II or the Samsung 7722. Not too sure about the Samsung phones meeting my requirements. I request all to provide feedback for this purchase.

Dear Friends, Request you to please advise. Any specific feedback on Samsung 7722???

Dear Rajan, Thanks!! I was beginning to think that this post wouldnt get any reply I spoke to the viewsonic incharge for West India, and he said that they are in talks with Reliance retail for distribution. Phone launch could take a month. I am not specifically looking at Android phones only. If you feel that any other OS would also suffice, pls suggest. Many Thanks!!

Dear Kshah, Great Job on starting this thread. I hope your marital woes have ended or end soon. All the Best.
