Now confused b/w Pantech Burst and this one
leaning toward Pantech cuz of dev support
Click to expand...

I got a Pantech Burst recently from iBhejo (17th January). Paid Rs 8235 after discount for the red one... Got it in 4 days flat...

I am not using it as a primary phone yet... Came preloaded with ICS. A few bugs here and there, some battery drain... But the phone is awesome for the price...

I have played Subway Surfers, Raging Thunder 2, Ski Safari and Asphalt 6 on it... All run super smooth...

Add to it 16 GB builtin storage, super amoled screen and 1 GB RAM are superb... But warranty could be a problem...

If I had to buy another phone today, I would consider Pantech Burst over Micromax A116...

Considering that their target audience doesn't know or care about the differences between ICS and JB, MMX is making a killing on their phablets. Now that Canvas 3 has a 720p screen (on paper), the average guy will find it irresistible... Till the (in)famous after sales support fixes that.

One question: the Linux kernel is under GPL license. So its derivatives must also be GPL'ed. Aren't MMX/MediaTek legally bound to release the code?

After reading all the horrible things about MMX A.S.S, still you are suggesting your friend Canvas 2. :facepalm: If that is your friend's idea, then good luck for him.

BTW, i have seen some in pai in marathalli.

yup, they are supposed to release KS because of GPL license, but in india.. no one really cares right .. just take piracy as an example..

^^ See the thread opened by tkin regarding MMX RMA. It is really cool that they are giving some good specs, but the after sales sucks big time. That said, i wouldn't buy MMX for it's high SAR value and cheap gimmicks, last but not least, CC.

Id still prefer to have a hands on review by someone, before judging whether a phone is crap mate :p

I cannot borrow my friend's phone, otherwise i would have written a review long time ago. BTW, instead of taking risk by going to Canvas 2, why not Pantech burst. It is the most VFM phone as of now, and best in terms of everything compared to Canvas 2. Using Pantech burst for few days now and i can vouch on this.
