I am a Reliance service user from Ahmedabad and need to change from my current Samsung SCH-F679 to something else because the motherboard abruptly broke down for no good reason. The phone was 4 years old. In the world of good brand CDMA mobiles is there no choice beyond Samsung? Reliance webworld carries just two models - one Coolpix and another equally forgettable. Internet shows LG India to sport just one handset and also Motorola. The shops probably don't even carry these. Is Nokia not an option in India? Are there no CDMA handsets from Nokia? I happen to prefer a key board model to a touchscreen one. Samsung W279 seems like the best of the lot. Can any user of this phone tell me whether - a) it allows you to send group sms? If so, can I select the group after typing the message or do I have to select it before? In my current mobile, I have to do it before, which means I cannot forward others' sms's to a group. It is very irritating. b ) it has a Delete All facility in its sms? In my current mobile, I have to physically select each and everyone of my messages to delete them all. There are many other bugs in the current one which I have learnt to live with, for example - i) It is supposed to hang up the call when the End Call button is pressed. It doesn't do that, I have to slide it shut (the setting is for End Call button) ii) It is supposed to have a rolling sms list, ie when the capacity is exceeded, the oldest sms should be erased to make way for the latest one. It doesn't do that. I have to physically delete them to make new space. Both the above features were advertised, but do not work. I hope they are not carried over into later models like W279. Sorry to the forum if these are old topics, didn't know where else to post them. Would appreciate a response. Ranjit
