After long search I finally bought Maxx GC355 CDMA-GSM/GSM-GSM handset for Rs. 5750 from my local shop, when all other shop keepers said "It is unavailable" and offered non touch screen phones at that cost. It supports both CDMA-GSM as well as GSM-GSM mode along with Touch screen support. I still have to use this phone to be able to write a detailed review. Since I bought it last night, these are all that I could come up with. Pros: 1. Touch Screen that serves the same purpose for which we use mouse on a PC. (After using touch screen phone for more than 2 years, i feel uncomfortable with touch disabled screen) 2. Upto 4GB extended memory module support 3. Support for Bluetooth Handsfree 4. Support for GPRS/JAVA/WAP 5. Flight mode available 6. Text Input is through onscreen keyboard as well as physical key pad 7. Both CDMA and GSM can share numbers from both the Sims for dialing, so no need of number duplication for both modes 8. Music is loud enough on both Speaker phone as well as on handsfree 9. Additional features like World Time, Theft Protection, Melody Composer (Ringtone maker), Call cheater (dont know exact use of this) 10. Camera can be used as Web Cam Cons: 1. No shortcut for locking screen manually. There's only auto lock option 2. Have to pass through lots of menus to browse files 3. No direct option for "Set as Ringtone / Wallpaper". Have to go through many process for setting custom ringtone 4. Camera is only 1.3 MP, also quality is low 5. No seperate headphone jack, Charger and headphone share common connectors 6. No Sync software for this model, can be however used for file transfers as pen drive Still need to know much about this piece... but for this small price, I think its better than Chinese handset, as it comes with warranty, IMEI, as well service centers

GC1000 is an option, however I am looking towards GC355 http://www.maxxmobile.in/Maxx/Products3.aspx?idProduct=42 as GC1000 http://www.maxxmobile.in/Maxx/Products2.aspx?idProduct=9 lacks JAVA compatibility as per MAXX customer care. I had been to one shop to buy GC355 but it was not sealed box and the cost was 5750. It was touch screen phone with WAP and JAVA enabled. Since it was not sealed box, I left the shop hoping to get it in other shop, but other shops say that the phone hasnt come to their shop yet... So am waiting for it or else I will have to settle down on GC1000

Can you suggest any model from Karbon that has Touchscreen and Dual CDMA/GSM support? Bye Regards

Hi, Since I have damaged my old Nokia Reliance handset up to a non repairable level, and also have a GSM Airtel sim on Motorokr E6, I wanted to buy a Dual Sim Touch Screen Phone (not CoolPad at all) and I came across MAXX GC355 and MAXX GC1000 handsets that are GSM-CDMA and GSM-GSM compatible. Just want to know if MAXX is a reliable brand. Cost Wise GC355 claimed Rs. 5750 in a local shop. Before going ahead I wanted to know if anyone has used MAXX brand, or any other suggestions for a Dual Sim Brand? No I dont want to go for those provided by Reliance, since they lock and disable many features of a good phone and also raise the cost as compared to local market. Also Reliance based handsets fail in performance as time passes. Bye Regards

Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday

At such a low rate? Let me know once u r successful with IrDA experiment! Also can u tell us about the "Finger Ring Receiver", does it look like a Ring with a Mic? Also does it have a wireless headset?

See the below link for some info Product Range - Telson TWC 1150 6236[/snapback] As per the official site telson shouls have R-World/R-Connect as well as Data Cable.

But does this handset has provision for R-World??? Since someone said that we cannot download ringtones

there are many, will post soon!!

Hey Folks, Just discovered the Reliance Web based MMS utility http://mms.relianceinfo.com/mms/ Before navigating to this utility do log in at http://bill.relianceinfo.com/webapp/portal...et/LoginServlet since the prior web link would redirect you back at the login page and u have to re visit it after logging in. Hope so we get more such utilities in future. Bye Regards

But what about those who own Motoroli C131???

Sounds good

Hi Folks, There's a Site called as Free-4-Mobile (http://www.free-4-mobile.com ) which contains lots of free ringtones and resources for Cell Phones. The site can be surfed through the cell by http://www.free-4-mobile.com/wap I have been able to explore the site thru the web and even download ringtones and wallpapers (but only on PC, since I own Motorola C131 which doesnt have R-World support). But atleast one can try accessing the web, and get the ringtones, even if ringtones dont download through R-World, one can transfer thru the Datacable Bye Regards
