jithesh405 4 Report post Posted May 28, 2010 Infact you will be amazed to see the number of brands being launched in the dual sim segment. All are chinese phones with some crazy names. even reliance also endorses a chinese brand Coolpad, one of the worst phones ever released in CDMA. By seeing the price it all targets the entry level Mobile users. Few of them seems to be good like Karbon, Micromax, Max, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jithesh405 4 Report post Posted May 28, 2010 @ Parin, I have already burnt by fingers in my last experience with Coolpad & Spice which is again a chinky phone. I was just sharing a news and I will never be a promoter of low end chinese phones..Coolpad & Spice CDMA was a disaster and I add them in the same league above.Till date I have only got good experience with Nokia phones (CDMA or GSM). planning to buy a BB or Palm which I feel is better among the lot after reading the reviews here.
