kkdeep 6 Report post Posted August 2, 2011 Need it for my mother. Need a Dual Sim (GSM+CDMA) with both the sims active at the same time. Absolutely budget handset with no extra feature required so cheaper the best. I don't want any Chinese or Chinese copy cats (Micromax, Karbonn etc). She is using Coolpad 188 which has started to give problems. --TIA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think, you will find any handset with dual active at a time other than Chinese or Chinese copy cats (Micromax, Karbonn etc). Best you can try with the Spice Mobile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted August 2, 2011 Samsung DUOs 259, if you can find in market... It is better looking than Duos159 and has slightly better battery backup, which is worth the few extra hundred bucks you have to pay... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anshu_s09 18 Report post Posted August 2, 2011 Yes Definetly 259 is better than 169.(only battery and camera . camera he dnt need and battery backup difference is approx 20 mints more with 259) But his requirement is very basic with GSM + CDMA plus both SIM Active at same time and there is price differene of almost Rs 2000 259 is available for around 5800-5900 where as 169 for 3800. i think his purpose will be solved with 169 if he wants he can go 259 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
