I don't understand why people are opting for over sized phones. A phone size should be easy to carry in pockets. I have seen few carrying S3 in hands like ladies wallet. Better buy a tablet then.

Stay away from chinese phones you ask why?
Doomgiver had said this in some other thread "They skip certain important part's in phone etc etc"
1)They're quality is crap
2)No FCC testing
3)It's crap


MMX and karbon also came from china.

Well but their "Qulaity" is better than these chinese, and mmx has already become the best tablet maker in our country :)

see, the cheao chargers are cheap coz they have cheap components... infact, many of them dont follow safety guidelines, to cut prices.

example :
they may skip out on a few resistors and diodes to decrease cost... so that instead of giving steady current, it gives a jerky signal. if you know about electronics, then you know how important it is to put in proper diodes in rectifier circuits.

chinese phones are not safe. they are a health hazard. if you want cheap phones, buy spice, micromax etc.

Hi,

Yup all these phones are use and throw
Thanks for reminding me :)

what i think that any phone i buy is use and throw except if its from samsung or nokia

but i m not a big heart to spend 30K plus for mobiles :-D

so why should i pay more for indian manufactures when I knew they are coming from china.

just go 4 china and remove middleman (so called indian manufactures ). I can have 3 Mobile in 30 K.

My requirement is ICS , 1 Gb Ram & big Screen.

any suggestions for my dumb view :-D

Thanks

Well why is chinese phones so cheap? they don't have quality, radiation tests etc etc...and probably 0 after sale support.
Your better of with mmx, mind you their quality is good their tablet funbook a re branded chineese tablet, but yes with quality testing after sale support has turned out to be one of the most selling tablets in india

Well this phone is well within your budget posting it again for you

Yes it is very safe> You should always buy chinese phones..LOL man. What are you thinking? Chinese are the worst sellers? Do you know a big global successful brand that has ever come out of china? They are ****. The minute you complain about their products, you are on their block list.
