ani_meher 42 Report post Posted September 1, 2005 According to the discussion in General Chat, I am starting this thread, with my current cell phone LG 2330. From Relianceinfo.com * Ultra Lite Phone, weighs only 65 gms * Visually appealing and conveniently slim * Rhythmic backlight * Ring tone and Wallpaper download by SMS * LMS (Long Message Service) * SMS to Email * Airplane Mode * Phone Book stores up to 600 x 4 entries + 1 email + 1 Memo * Polyphony ringtones * Supports Hindi Menus and Hindi SMS This phone is VERY light, even lighter than Samsung Slim. It's hardly seen even when kept in the shirt pocket. Even the display is refreshingly brighter than the Slim, or Motorola C131. Rythmic backlight works, but you start worrying whether this little cell can keep up long if it displays lights flashing. You CAN NOT download ringtone or wallpaper by SMS, either by other cell phone or by 8888. If you have done it successfully, let me know, and I'll change this. It doesnot receive ringtones SMSed by others. So don't waste your time, and possibly money. LMS means you can type an SMS upto 480 words, and it will go as 4 seperate SMSes to the target number. Haven't tested this, but I don't doubt that it will work as expected. SMS to Email DOES NOT work. Atleast till past 2 weeks. Hopefully things will improve, but hope is too less here. Airplane mode does what it says. Your phone is shut off from getting the connection, though you can use other functions of the phone exept calling. What's the use of that? Firstly, if you are in an area with less or no range, then each time the phone tries to search range, and eats lot of charge in the battery. Also, if you shut off this cell, then while starting again, it needs the range in order to display time. If you are in a No range area, you cannot use Alarm clock. This actually happened to me. So I think the best use of this function in such situations will be, turn the phone to Airplane mode once you come into the no range area, and then you can use the Alarm or phone book, as the time is displayed, and also the battery is saved. The phonebook is bit....problematic. For searching, it is nowhere near nokia or even Motorola C131. After you type the desired name, after 2-3 seconds it will show you the name. Also, you cannot append a number to the existing number from the list. Meaning, if you got call from your girlfriend from a new number than the existing number, then you'll have to type that number in her entry, you can't just 'Save to existing'. Ringtones are OK. Nothing great. The speaker is at the earpiece, so if the phone is face down on pillow, or even if the earpiece is pressed in your pocket, you will mostly not hear it. The Vibrations are strictly OK. Its support for Hindi is good. Unlike slim, you don't have to change the handset language in order to use Hindi. You can just change the font and use it. The Hindi SMS is received well by the Slim and also other LG CDMAs supporting Hindi. I haven't yet tried sending it to other opeartors, but it cannot receive Hindi SMS from other operators. It doesn't support R-World, or R-connect. The data cable can be used to back up some phone book and Scheduler, but haven't tried that. Someone confirm. In short, do not expect any flying colors from this mobile. If you want a mobile that doesn't divert your attention because of heaviness in pockets, and if you are tight on budget, then go for this. This is a no frills handset, but certainly leaps and bounds better than Samsung Slim (old, no idea about new Boss). It's usp is its weight, and it's actually the lightest one I've ever come across. In fact, because of this, I am unable to make up my mind for Nokia 6255, though technologically much superior, but almost twice of this handset's weight (N 6255 is 125grams). Hope that was useful.
