with 2k cashback

What about the after sale services? Coz I personally havent heard much of huawei. Secondly my dad is a bit reluctant to buy a phone from local brands but since he has heard of MMX and spice, he will be inclined towards them.

and os is 2.3, I need atleast Icecream Sandwich + its still out of budget...

Ive narrowed my search down to 3 phones-

Micromax Ninja A89 (Black)
Micromax Smarty 4.0 A68 (White)
Karbonn A15 (Black)

Please suggest asap as my brother's birthday is coming. Any other phone suggestions are welcome

Micromax A89 is a good phone

if you can slightly stretch your budget, X5 Pro is simply the best. And it has received official Android 4.0 update and in case you want more, have some Jelly Bean Android 4.2.

in case you just can't increase budget, get the A89. It packs quite a punch.

Battery is not enough for a 3.97" screen phone. It should be at least 2000mAh or1500mAh for that much big screen phone.
And its battery will die out soon.
And it will have battery problems after 2-3 months or 4-5 months.

Have a look at LenovoK690

they have, of getting drained easily.But MMX. runs on luck.
Sometimes either you get good or you get bad piece.
I have few friends who used MMX.
Almost all faced battery problem i.e. it stop giving you even 7-8 hrs. of backup.

Well, seems funbook use cheap Chinese batteries, I just finished over 50% of an ebook last night on my L9, less than 30% battery consumed

k brought A89, and so far, its excellent....but the battery backup is a bit on the lower side

congrats. just lower the screen brightness to low (25%) and turn modem to 2G. then you can expect better battery backup.

till now, A89 has got really good reviews in the 6k bracket, enjoy your phone and do as Sam said

and one more thing, can you just confirm the SAR value of A89, i know its 0.89 but just want to get confirmed. thanks because im also going to purchase the same phone.
