sagarbn 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2010 good phone, but price i got to know from official source that it is priced at Rs. 19990/- we have heros, incredible, and evo priced almost same pricing and better features. i guess its not reliance who launches but blame samsung to realease these phones so late.

csmart 472 Report post Posted July 9, 2010 reliance or samsung, i dont understand why they under estimate Indian consumers.. if you provide right combo of price and features, everyone will grab it. if you see specs, nothing gr8, except AMOLED.. 3.2 MP, no speed dial (as per reliance), android 1.6, its an old instrument.

P. K. Daga 3 Report post Posted July 10, 2010 I just transferred my number on Samsung 899 yesterday and the phone looks OK, not very great. Data works fine on wifi but when wifi is switched off, it turns to 1x and works for only around 5 minutes, thereafter data does not works. Touch screen sense is also inconsistent, use of nails looks better option. Overall, the phone is not worth the current MRP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mufaddal 678 Report post Posted July 10, 2010 this phone is available for indian and chinese cdma operators only this one will not get 2.1 , it will be with donut besides only advantage of this phone is using EVDO officially on reliance with tinge on android , something which users of imported android phones cant at moment all i all i fee its a good move by reliance , giving Android experince with EVDO atleast i say its better than using over priced corby and bb tour i dont think this one is very overpriced , we should not forget these are official retail prices , even in usa retail prices of hero/incredible are high , most phones sold here are bad esn ones dont forget . So for people who want official phone and want to taste EVDO this is best handset to do so Android is double fun when u have EVDO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kshah 452 Report post Posted July 10, 2010 I fully agree with Dr. Mufaddal. Android with EVDO is fun. Corby or LG cookie can never be compared with android. 20K is almost reasonable. Why consider hero superior, just because it has capacitive screen? Capacitive screen is certainly fun. But we must remember that we are second or third class consumers for them.

There is no scope for comparison. lg is a simple touch multimedia phone where as galaxy is a android smartphone. jar apps can be run on lg and millions apps can be run on galaxy. you get all the standard features of any smartphone on galaxy, 32gb support, wifi, gps, email client, etc etc. it depends on your need, why do you want a evdo phone???

I totally agree that its a start that we are getting official android evdo handset. dusre ki thaali mein to ghee jada hi dikhega. right from automobiles to electronics to it. products launched in US and Japan are much upgraded and better options. kisine Samsung ka Wave try kiya. it is there top of the line product not Galaxy S Wave is based on their proprietory OS BADA we can never compare, being good consumers if we start appreciating things, there is always a scope of getting things better. complaining or whining never yields anything. there is different psychology of every market and strategies are made by these giants as per that. you cant expect to buy a mustang with 3.7 ltr or 5ltr engine at Rs.11 lakhs (22k usd) if its selling in US ya phir indian harley davidson which is 6.9 lakhs to 22 lakhs. straight away double the prices. but at least we can now buy it in india.

HTC isnt bringing complete stable to india , not even in gsm. Motorola has almost closed their handset market in india. Nokia hardly brings their cdma to india. Even these companies can launch their omh handsets like samsung is doing. Without being bothered to tie up with service provider before hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

srk006 21 Report post Posted July 14, 2010 The phone is already available in many web worlds in Kerala. They are selling it only at MRP which is Rs.19990. But there seems to be no good deal if we go for Prepaid. After 30days there is only default plan which is charged in per minute. Can we use HSD recharges in prepaid?

ravisdev 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2010 here is the phone the OS version is Android 1.5 (about 1 year old) this cannot transfer files via bluetooth (still you want to call it Smart phone?) The SMS is threaded view and one cant delete one particular SMS from the thread instead have to delete the entire thread. There is no better preference set on the phone. there are no options. Still have to pay 19,990 for this dumb phone. Its nothing but cheating the Indians consumers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
