kshah 452 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 I came to know from WW people that reliance is introducing new LG 5130 color hand sets. As per them (not officially) it is already in ware house and shall come to market soon. Specs are 64 K UFB display (128 pixels X 128 pixels) 300 X 4 phone book. 60 call log PC sync 99 gms speaker phone JAVA 22 ring tones 160 schedules 30 each SMS in inbox, out box, archine, drafts, templates In call memo T9 MSM 5105 chipset 64 MB flash 16 MB SRAM I think who are not fond of camara and do not like flap phones should wait.

umeshd 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 Wow, great to hear that. Thanks for the info. I tried to search on web for LG 5130 and there's no information available anywhere. Any idea it's global handset or made for Indian market ? Regards Umesh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ganesh 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2004 Well whatever, the quality of the handset will be a POO,as i experience in 7130 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Code 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2004 I agree with vingan in that although LG people do pay attention on "Look Good" They don't take that much care to see that the features are user friendly .. LG developers show surprising ignorance by not providing features available on (m)any other cheapest phones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ganesh 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2004 well the hardware itslef is very wrong,and most buggy software.i used to own sch n191 and i shifted to color bcos n191 supported only 140 characters sms.other than that n191 is a gem of a phone. RD7130 so far 1) I have replaced the pcb 3 times 2)I replaced the whole phone 3 times.(i caught the LG marketing head to get this done) 3)I replaced battery (both batteries ) 3 times so far. since my rconnect usage and rworld usage is heavy, the phone battery stoops down and i wonder what quality standards they maintian.

tezo 2 Report post Posted August 9, 2004 Finally Reliance came up with wat I was asking frm them. Yeah a new cheap entry level LG5130 Its 65K, Poly R/T, u can download 3 tones etc. @ 4999 Wat abt ppl like me who have old b/w ??? can't upgrade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karpar 1 Report post Posted August 9, 2004 There was an option to upgrade to colour phones with the onset of the camera phones for an amount, I believe, of about Rs.4000. They might introduce something like that again... Looks great, but as Chirag said, hopefully it'll have good features. It's really cheap for a colour phone with Polyphonic ringtones...atleast from Reliance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mahidhar 3 Report post Posted August 9, 2004 hey ppl ... i would suggest all of u who are interested in going in for this model, wait for some time. all of u are familiar with RIM's policy (screw the good guys, encourage the defaulters ). the price of this handset as i see it will definately come down in another two months ... that's what also happened with the other b/w models ...

No way GTRAN owners wiil be regreting after seeing the phone ----------- GTRAN is a way better phone and i am fully satisfied with it. LG 5130 is a good phone for its price------------- but like lg 2030 it has only 3 downloadable tones and no PC sync ( except bitpim) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harsh 1 Report post Posted August 17, 2004 btw, lgrd2030 has pc sync. it has to be downloaded from the net. it synchronizes phone book and schedules etc etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mahidhar 3 Report post Posted August 19, 2004 i think you better wait and watch ... in a news clipping which i've posted, it says reliance is going to introduce a new phone in september and one every month after that for a whole year so prices are bound to crash once the new ones come in ... don't waste your money. you should have learnt with reliance "never pounce ... wait and watch" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
