commonman 228 Report post Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) Checked this handset about six weeks back at spice outlet. The handset comes with Android 1.6 only and would be loaded with 2.1 at a subsequent date. And there were major issues in making and receiving voice calls. I think Samsung Galaxy 3 (at 2k more) is a much better option. Edited October 9, 2010 by commonman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted October 9, 2010 They have put up a 139 mb download file with this link Mi-300-Eclair-Software-Update . So it seems that you can update through PC. Cant say anything about making and receiving calls as you have already checked out the handset. May be that particular one had a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
