arnuld 12 Report post Posted February 25, 2013 I plan to use my TATA DOCOMO CDMA number on an unlocked CDMA handset, one of these two actually: http://tinyurl.com/bjas2ps http://tinyurl.com/aqy68nh I want to use the phone primarily for calling and messaging only. No internet usage or apps playing. I just want to use a good touchscreen phone at around price 6-7K. I want to know what problems one faces when he uses unmatched/incompatible CDMA operator and unlocked handsets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inception 75 Report post Posted February 25, 2013 as I tested both, 351 - alcatel made - poor battery, hangs frequently, front camera 352 - zte made, battry is good, no hang during my use, no front cam 352 is priced for Rs 1000 more than 351 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aalok 442 Report post Posted February 25, 2013 i still prefer mts mtag 3.1 aka huawei c8511 over these two.. triggered from tappa-talk # 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnuld 12 Report post Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Okay guys, I take your suggestion and put 351 out of selection. I do not need front cam as I am not gonna use internet/apps. So I am left with 352 and 3.1 . Aalok di you mean this by 3.1: http://tinyurl.com/b4hn6m8 That one seems good for me except that it has 2.8 inch screen, I found it very difficult to type an SMS even on Galaxy Y 3 inch screen. Hence I was looking for 3.5 or 4 inch screen. Any suggestions ? I see Pantech Breakout: http://tinyurl.com/adtc36z Edited February 26, 2013 by arnuld Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aalok 442 Report post Posted February 26, 2013 Aalok di you mean this by 3.1: http://tinyurl.com/b4hn6m8 yes, i meant that only.. through i rarely use this handset now (only when i wanted to use TATA Indicom CDMA EVDO on PC via WiFi Tethering ) sold some 50 unlocked handsets till date, no one came back with any problem.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnuld 12 Report post Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) I see it is 2.8 inches touchscreen. Is this size enough for typing SMSs ? I type somewhere around 20-30 SMSs a day,, will I be comfortable doinh that on this small screen. Everything else seems fine to me for purchasing this phone. As fo March 10, I am using MTS Mtag 352. It is Android CDMA. Screen size is no problem because I have installed MessagEase keyboard app. I came to know somehow I am not a fan of phones with shiny-god-like-features Edited March 10, 2013 by arnuld Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
