pantech burst/ xperia u

 

[cacklebolt]

Pantech burst would have to be imported mate. And Xperia U's limited storage.

 

[pramudit]

xperia U is a no-no, i am not buying a mobile without external memory.
how is huawei service?

 

[cacklebolt]

huawei service should be good. huawei is actually a very big brand. people are just ignorant about that.

some compare Huawei with indian brands like Micromax, Karbonn, Lava

not comparing with them, just want to know about its service quality in india.

Well you can consider XPeria U. Though it depends on your usage. Max. people uses 2GB or 4GB Memory Card. But they also ignore such a good mobile because of external memory limitation. I'm not blaming someone, but someone who plans to use 4GB Memory Card, can easily go for XU, eyes closed.

not pointing my fingers at you but some of the members do. My friend own G330 and his only complain is average battery life. Guess it'll last a full day on moderate use and build quality is also quite good.

huawei have numerous service center because they are at the core of dongle/datacard business. but never heard anyone having to visit huawei as their mobiles are not top sellers.

i understand your point but earlier i had a 16gb card and it was full due to songs, videos and apps data. i don't wanna buy one without expendable memory.

huawei have numerous service center because they are at the core of dongle/datacard business. but never heard anyone having to visit huawei as their mobiles are not top sellers.

yes, it even have a service centre here in my town but never heard about it untill i checked huawei website. i am towards huawei as it has more chances for android development than indian phone.
BTW just for info, between mtk6577 and msm8225/8625 which one has more chances for getting developer support? i dont wanna stuck on ICS.

 

[coderunknown]

Qualcomm anyday.

 

[cacklebolt]

The Huawei Ascend G600 should suit you then If I am not wrong it comes with a dual-core Snapdragon chipset.

 

[pulkitpopli2004]

^^ its up for pre-order on flipkart..
is it advisable to book now.. or w8 for some time for review or price drop.. or 15k is the best price one can get for G600???

please anyone answer this last question...:///

 

[cacklebolt]

There's a new contender on the block.
Enter Micromax A116 Canvas HD.

 

[pramudit]

i am actually waiting for canvas hd only, earlier there were rumours but since now it is confirmed so if all goes well then i will buy a116 only.

 

[diagus]

don't buy local ones for example Micromax Canvas 2 A110 =10299
is actually Beidou Chi manufactured by Beidou that costs only 103$ in china
similar is the case with rest you are paying double the money
