Hi friends,

i want to buy cellphone with these features:

Dual SIM,
Long battery Life,
Under Rs. 3000

I've already used frnd's cell, micromax X-250 and spice M5252, and both has same java based OS, which is very slow in navigation, and slow typing sms.

Can anybody tell me about these cellphone: LAVA, KARBBON, VIDEOCON. ?? Where i can get full review of these dual sim handsets with screenshots of menu, or review video???

Both set mentioned by u have only 1300mah battery......Search for Spice QT55, videocon v1405, both have 1800mah battery means longer battery backup, here a user review for Spice....

Well, got friends using Karbonn mobiles, and am sure if u wanna go 4 Dual sim, my current recommendation would be definitely Karbonn, and if u can push ur budget a lil further, u can surely end up with a really awesome phone, and ya the battery life is really good, definitely 2000mAh plus

from my personal experience i've learned that all these Chinese copy sucks in OS so the less you the better. my advice would be to buy cheapest dual sim phone below 2k with large battery and dont spend more money for any added feature . trust me they r worthless when it comes to camera/audio quality / software .

I personally have a spice M4580 . it also have slow navigation problem but battery backup is great , 7-10 days with single sim and 4 days with dual sim active. i used a micromax before and i think this spice have little better voice quality .

there was a samsung dual sim in sub 4K range , forgot model no , but being a samsung we can hope that OS is better than others .

I am using a triple sim Chinese phone for last 5 months with touchscreen. Haven't had any problems except low battery life [ lasts only 2 days].

Didn't ThinkDigit do a review of phones within this cost segment or was that Chip? Anyway my father has a Karbonn phone which uses Dual Sims and it is pretty neat if you ask me. Although like mentioned above the OS isn't exactly a piece of art the phone does its job nice enough. Not to mention the charge on the thing si outrageous I think he charges it like once every 3-4 days!

The phone costs around 4k and has most of the things you would expect from the phone.
