Till date i dint have saw Xperia E but what about burst

 

[Nerevarine]

Warranty is my first priority dude, followed by good display

 

[shreymittal]

How many service centers of Pantech burst are there in India ? :S

I forgot

you can also check Lava XOLO B700. ships with a massive 3450 mAH battery.

 

[Nerevarine]

Waaaaaaaaaaaraaaaanty is my first policy dude ... Local warranty probably sucks (MMX, Karbonn and Lava)

 

[shreymittal]

^ bhai itni badi warranty toh aapko kahi bhi ni milegi

 

[Nerevarine]

lol seriously now ? any other options ?

 

[deathblade]

gud warranty+ low budget+ great specs isn't an option.....
If u r OK with lava then go 4 b700

Your welcome bro please update this thread after your purchase.
But i think a tab will be a good choice btw how old he is?

 

[Nerevarine]

21, but he still uses a crappy nokia handset.. I think an android phone is still a better choice for him..
I just want to know how huawei service is.. I know they are FAR above our local companies but in the real world, how is their service quality ?
IF I get positive feedback, then Ill get the Y300

256Mb ram, Android 2.3. Galaxy Young should be the second choice. 3.3" HVGA resolution, Android 4.1, Cortex A5 from Broadcom + Videocore 4 GPU. Not the best but at this price better than any Samsung/LG/Sony under 10k.
