dhruvdeshmukh 3 Report post Posted March 22, 2013 Lenovo in Feb announced that the will be releasing CDMA+GSM phones in India - Source Are the phones already here? Recently my Dad went to a Lenovo store and there he was shown a handset which was Dual Sim. So I asked him to visit again and get more details. Today he visited it again and noted down the phone names and prices. Lenovo MobilesModels Price---------- -------------A60+ Rs. 6500/-S560 Rs. 14499/- P700i Rs. 11800/-S880 Rs. 16990/-S890 Rs. 18800/- Now on checking on reputed sites I see that most of them are Dual Sim GSM phones, but still Lenovo Store employees claim them to be otherwise. All the above phones are having a real good spec and very attractive price points. Does anybody have any further information on the phones that CDMA+GSM phones Lenovo plans to release?

inception 75 Report post Posted March 23, 2013 AFAIK Lenovo's CDMA_EVDO+GSM_2G phones are coming with Reliance. Now if Rcom makes delay, Lenovo has to ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MOBILE FAN 42 Report post Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) From different websites it seems that P700 and s880 are cdma+gsm. Strangely, Lenovo's own website is silent on this. It simply says "dual sim". The best idea would be to check at the store after inserting both the sim. Not sure why Lenovo is not advertising this clearly when there is a ready market for such handsets Sent from my XT800 using Tapatalk 2 Edited March 24, 2013 by MOBILE FAN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sougatadc 358 Report post Posted March 24, 2013 P700i is dual standby GSM only. I checked it myself. Cannot tell about other models. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dhruvdeshmukh 3 Report post Posted March 24, 2013 The problem is that they have only boxed models and not open models. Also I highly doubt them to allow us to put sims in as usually inserting sim means that the warranty period for the phone has started. I have been also told that in reputed stores that have sample phones on display, they box the phone and sell it to buyers if they are very keen to buy it and that given model is out of stock with them.

rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted March 24, 2013 AFAIK, none of the handsets mentioned in this topic is CDMA. Some websites/sales people misunderstand WCDMA mentioned in specs (which is a moniker for GSM 3G) as CDMA which is wrong and then the confusion starts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krangan 1 Report post Posted April 2, 2013 I think one has to wait until V6700 is sold out. After that Rcom will introduce Lenovo sets in their stores and simultaneously it may be available in Lenov stores also. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deepak Shankar 79 Report post Posted April 30, 2013 These models were supposed to be rolled out in March.March is done so is April just wondering if by chance they meant March 2014 or later.All CDMA models are available world wide except in India.Wonder if this scenario will ever change at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pampum 2 Report post Posted August 30, 2013 Configuration of the phone is really disappointing, they should have to give atleast 1 GB RAM, now only interesting thing to know is its price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pampum 2 Report post Posted August 30, 2013 Thanks Aalok for sharing the link, Rs. 9499 is another disappointment. I dont realize why companies put high price tag on (officially released) android CDMA phones which carries very low configuration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
::Hitesh:: 1,763 Report post Posted August 30, 2013 ^^^ If they put low price, every one thinks its cheap phones, also they want to earn more per handset, rather than selling it to mass... (lol its my version) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont realize why companies put high price tag on (officially released) android CDMA phones which carries very low configuration.qualcom CDMA radios are expensive in comparison to GSM . nobody deliberately keeps high tag unless it's a flagship model. I have posted in other thread my recent purchase of Lenovo p780 for 16,750/- great phone at reasonable price. Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
csmart 472 Report post Posted August 31, 2013 The other problem you forget is about royalty that they have to pay to Qualcomm on every CDMA handset sold in India. So this is also one of the reason for higher price. Please note that royalty is not paid when a handset is sold in US. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
