i saw its pic on metro booklet and its surprisingly cheap (rs 2.9k) i searched for reviews online but it seems to be a newly released entry level phone...
good features: 750 internal SMS
long battery life...etc...
so if anyone have it then pls give ur opinioon about it...coz i'm planning to buy a entry level phone...
is it better than c168?

naa, Moto increase some minor features but disable WAP & GPRS in this phone.... so i think C168 is better............
OR if you need good display, stereo radio, data cable support then Samsung X210 is also a good option, price Rs.3.6k

i somehow dont like those flip-open type of phones...the ordinary one would be better..but the X210 seems to be good...so c'mon guys keep giving your feedback on which is the best entry level phone....
i've heard that the C168 has problems with text entry..ie text entry can be slow at times...

my 3 friends using Samsung X210, problem is TEXT entry is really slow and signal reception is not upto the standard, but if you are from city then you have no problem with signal reception.....:)
