Anyone here used it? How's it? Any other phone in the similar budget (10k - 11k) that is better than this?

I am ready for Nokia and SonyEricsson ;)

TIA :smile:

K790 is a good phone.... Go ahead and buy it if you like it

You can also look at Nokia 5230, almost the same specs...

And now it is sub 10k I believe. Solid performance and good battery time. Wonderful camera/ feature. My elder brother is using it for more than 14 months and it is still great. Nice to handle, text, call, capture. Video is a bit let down thou. Otherwise a great phone. Oh I forgot, also nice audio player. A good package for 9.6k @ www.univercell.in

P.S: This is the phone that Bond uses in Casino Royale :D

Great phone , using it for just over 1 year now. In its current price range u wont get anything better than this. My short review :

pros :

1. Great camera with really powerful flash(A Cyber-shot afterall , better than the K810i)
2. Good battery back-up(This should be an important factor). Lasts for a couple of days with 2 hours of call and 1.5 hrs of music. I dont game at all.
3. Great feature set.
4. Fast , can handle 2GB cards with ease.
5. Must not forget the music player.

cons :

1. A lil fat , if u are into slim mobiles , this is not the 1 for you.
2. Call volume is low , if u are talking at a crowded place , u will hardly hear anything.
3. Keys will stop working in months( Time to visit service centre:) )
4. No 3G.



Hope this one will help u.

Thanks,
Soumya
