MTS doesn't operate in Mumbai which is where I will operate this phone. So this option is pretty much rules out, though for those who have MTS, this looks to be a good option.
I checked Reliance CDMA's Lenovo A600e , but the reviews on Flipkart as well as others have scared me. I am now thinking of dropping the CDMA+GSM plan altogether and instead go for a modest tablet around 5-6K from Micromax or Karbonn. That way I will continue my current CDMA as well as get a device for Net browsing which is what I really need.
