deren 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Hi guys, i want to buy one china mobile. Can you all (from your vast experience) tell me about some popular and reliable brands from china. At present I have LG RD 5130 that i bought 2.5 yrs back. It doesn't have RUIM (no card) and now i want to replace it with some feature rich mobile. My budget goes upto INR 6k. I have seen so many china made mobile of my friends they are feature rich and cheap too.. yesterday my friend bought SIGMATEL V88 Dual SIM @ 3200 Rs only.. From reading all day long this forum, I came to know that i can request WW to replace my number on RUIM and then, i can use that RUIM with any china made mobile. I know that with china made mobile i can't send MMS and Rworld .that's OK for me as i dont use these feature at all. I like my pc and want my mobile too to use like pc. So i may be using multimedia application, internet, and documents on mobile. I need to check mails regularly on mobile. While surfing on net, i came across "CECT P168 PDA" mobile..i liked that and want to know from all of you about similar mobile phone. I would like to have dual SIM one for CDMA and one for GSM. Desperate of hearing from you guys. Thanks.. Deren Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need to check mails regularly on mobile. If u want to do what u said go for PPC / PALM (Smart phones). No chinese mobile will be able to do it. They say it PDA because they have touch screen and OS with ICONS. They do not support even java. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

@mitJ@in 256 Report post Posted June 7, 2008 Spice has also imported this handset from CECT China only. Spice has just stamped the handset with name " SPICE " Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Honest 836 Report post Posted June 7, 2008 ^^^ My dear friends, but Spice now is a reputed brand in India. Spice do offer warranty on its Mobile Handsets which we can't expect in Chinese mobiles purchased from Grey Market. Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
