rppatil 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2010 ^^Thanks for Reply, It will help if you elaborate on this. Is it due the fact that it is based on BREW ? I thought it is good to have bigger screen , Metro TV looks small. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KAPILKDEV 68 Report post Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) Mpower TV S239 is a new OMH handset from Samsung. eBay is selling it for Rs. 5600/- don't know anything about its performance. I think it will be a good handset like Guru B559. I expect some good reviews soon from our friends. I am thanking Samsung company for providing one more OMH handset, they are hearing our plea for good CDMA handsets. I think if they not introduced the OMH handsets, all the colours of the CDMA will be etiolated (in India). Edited September 28, 2010 by KAPILKDEV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So posting here hey.. i had the same doubt i asked the shopkeeper itself & he said its because it is a new release so it costs less.. may be the Metro TV handset was costlier when it was bought initially by the shopkeeper so obviously he will sell accordingly.. well i am not very sure but this is my personal view. In fact s239 has bigger screen, call recording feature which is not available in metro and also 16 GB expandable.. and it looks better than metro. On the other hand, s239 has 1.3mp and metro has 2.0mp camera.. and mostly rest all the features are same.. so its upto you to decide which one to buy. Hope this helped.. good luck..!

rppatil 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2010 Good things about this phone: i) Screen 6cm. 2) Form factor is also good. 3) OS is fast 4) Network reception is also good( better than I used to get on my 6275 at home,no call has dropped till) 5) call quality is also fine. ( May not be upto Nokia 6275) 6) supports 16GB card 7) SMS capacity is 2000 ( Way better than 90 in case of Nokia 6275) 8) Cheapest EVDO phone till now, getting nice speed while browsing on in built Polaris 9) Battery seems to be nice after 2hr calling , 40 mins on net and around 50 sms Now things I didn't like 1) Java support is there but when I installed Opera mini,bolt but they are not able to connect to net. So basically I will have to find apps which can be supported on this phone. This could be due do BREW. 2) No 3.5 mm jack for headphones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

me_saket 73 Report post Posted October 4, 2010 My frind purchased this yesteday, Here is review. Impressing size of Screen (very big) Call/voice quality very good. Mp3 player sounds cool Cheapest EVDO phone 16GB memory support(highest in class.) Faster Internet with EVDO and tata indicom. (download speed of 200KB/s) Standardize charger port (seen same port in nokia also- World is moving toward single charger for mobile phone) Cons: Inferior quality of plastic. Less attractive Key pad. Camera quality just decent due to 1.3Mp Propriety Headphone socket. Single socket for Charger +data Cable+Headphone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
