I don't think that Onida will b able 2 deliver the quality that SE and Nokia are delivering...And 28 days battery backup...This can't b true, I guess

Not only Onida, many oeculiar companies are trying their luck. But, I don't think anybody can beat Nokia or SE atleast for some time.

eg.
USHA LEXUS (supposed to be making mixees)

Why go for Onida when plenty of options are available?

its not correct to write-off Onida or any other new company without proper testing, using and reviews. I guess we should wait for proper user reviews before coming to the conclusion.

All in all the mobile phone market is growing and its good for the consumer.

They're good considering the low-end mobile segments and may even sell good because in India, a huge group of people buys cheap mobiles.

In the end consumer will be the real winner....
