do not go for N6265. Rather have N6275 which is available at around 9k.

how abt fly? hws d review

Enjoy~!

Fly has a pretty big screen for a candybar phone in that budget and works seamlessly across both CDMA and GSM. The signal reception is in fact better for CDMA than GSM in this phone. Works with both TATA and Reliance and all the GSM providers of course. Battery life is around 1.5 to 2 days for medium-to-heavy usage of mine. Which I don't mind since I have two phones in one. One minus is that Java is not supported and I can't even install any application on the phone.

Why not go for the Samsung D780/D880 ?
They're dual sim's , so if you decide to ditch cdma, you can still use the phone.

He is referring to B720 Duo which is nothing but mediocre..Infact all Dual SIM phones in the market today sucks...It'll take time for this technology to pickup..The biggest issue of all is battery backup..

CDMA handset scenario is very gloomy as compared to GSM ...and Moto Razr u mentioned doesnt have T-SIM

See my initial post..I already said that Moto Razr lacks R-UIM...

you can also try samsung max, as it is the best phone and only one available in that price range. it's priced around Rs.7400. has got 1.3mp camera, fm radio, bluetooth , memory card slot, 262k TFT. There is not much choice left. you can consider samsung flo, samsung duo or this one.

Samsung Maxx is okayishhh kind..At that price point u can get much better functionality in a GSM phone..

Sumitkumar: One more thing..As u r using Huawei C2900i can u plz tell how z that phone..Is Opera pre installed in C2900i..If so howz its performance...Also can u compose sms in Hindi in C2900i..How many SMS can u store..

sandeep munna..ye thread GSM nahin CDMA phones k liye hai ...and since nobody is switching here frm CDMA to GSM ..to GSM phones k comparison ka sawal hee nahi aata
(we all know GSM phones have much choice as compared to CDMA)

i was asking can a samsung max user tell about :

1. Battery backup ?
2. Bluetooth ?
3. mp3 player sound etc of max ?

and yeah u can compose hindi sms in huwaei 2900i...opera ka pata nahin but u can surf internet...SMS storing i dunno kyunki mere pe bahut SMS aate hee nahin :)

and ya anytime u r welcome at my room to take a first hand exp of the set :D

I was referring here that Samsung Max price is unjustified for its features...That z all I wanna convey boss...

If Max was 2k cheaper then may be...
