Duos 259 is not the same as Duos Touch. The latter model is touch screen. Duos 259 is NOT touch screen. This is the reason for price drop. Duos 259 is available in Reliance mobile stores in Bangalore but they do not have Duos Touch (W299) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nags 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2010 Just one doubt...the dealer informed that internet can be accessed through OMH sim..however, the spec says GPRS. can any one confirm whether internet can be accessed by CDMA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
me_saket 73 Report post Posted February 27, 2010 ya it is written that GPRS , but don't know for CDMA, but hopefully if they are providing OMH, then internet can be accesed, will check and know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nags 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2010 Had a chance to work with this handset for abt half an hour (courtesy my friend). Initial impression is as below: * Hand set size is slightly big considering it to be candy bar phone. * Both the sims work..but i could not find the option for selecting the sim manually when dialling/messaging. it selects the default sim. (in 619, it gives a secondary option of selecting the sim, though the default is bulleted) * Internet cannot be accesed by CDMA, though it is OMH. In manual also, it is given as only GSM for all the email, internet options. * Battery is 1140 mah. So, ideally should come 2 days standby & may be 3~3.5 hrs talk time. * the screen goes blank immeditaly on call connection (similar to corby) inspite of selecting long backlight time. People who have used Nokia may/maynot like this. This feature is to increase battery backup. * UI slightly difficult when compared to NOKIA. * charger is same as corby, so expect high charge time.
