insurance against theft and accidental damage..
@giprabu .. In-Transit Damage Insurance.... if you are asking about this ... lets buy already mention about this on defy page .. at least i received my orders (2) in good packaging till date .. the only sad part is blue dart service is pathetic and there is always issue with octroi which is paid by letsbuy, most of the time there is no communication from bluedart delhi office to destination office or something else.

i'm not talking about in-transit damage insurance.. every online shopping site provides in-transit insurance. I'm saying about after sales insurance (like the ones we get for cars and bikes). None of you ppl heard of it uh (for mobile phones) ??

that insurance will cost around 100 Rs(which Univercell will give you for free at cost of 1100 Rs more than letsbuy). it is highly unlikely that it will be used.
and yes i also didnt use bluetooth headset which came with defy(but i gave it to a friend who uses it).
So it is upto you, in which you feel comfortable buy from there.

Till now i have bought 3 handsets from letsbuy. I didnt face any problems with them.no problems with courier or octroi stuff. service is good in my experience.
And till now i havent seen any of my friends having insurance claimed it because of theft or accident. And if you lose your phone sometimes police will not take complaint(which is needed to claim insurance) because the insurance company pressures them to find the set which they dont want to find just because they are lazy and its just a mobile, no big deal.

]Great.. That is really helpful. Will go through them soon to get my phone updated to Gingerbread in MIUI style.
One small query: When the version of ROM gets updated, is there any way to automatically update it, or we have to re-install the new ROM again to get it updated?
they get updated every friday as on thier website. if you want to update then just do what you did for flashing rom(going into custom recovery....updating, check the link i posted they have guide there. ) it will get updated.

All the best Soumik, let us know your feedback on MIUI!Great.. That is really helpful. Will go through them soon to get my phone updated to Gingerbread in MIUI style.
Some app must be eating your CPU, which you need to uninstall...try to see the background apps running in the task manager...if you find the culprit, uninstall it...otherwise maps should work fine!
