Now the phone::
Amazing display.. often seen only with phones over 15-18k.
GPS works amazingly well. Good preloaded aps. Not a very good inbuilt video player but that was easily fixed by downloading and installing Mobo Video Player Pro. All formats can now be played. Installing Winamp is also advised.
Internal memory is a bit low, only 150MB approx but thats not very different with most Samsung and other brand phones. Same is the case with battery life which I am given to understand is a pro...

Good Phone But could be better

I have bought this phone recently. But I got less than I expected this phone has many cons but biggest is its 265K colours and lack of a Graphic Processing Unit (GPU). I tried to play Angry birds on this phone but I was disatisfied.

Now, I given this phone to my dad. I have a Chinese phone.

So, I am planning to buy a LG Optimus Net Dual P698. this phone is much much better then this so, listen me look at that phone also

Best in low price, but have some limitations

It's good in many ways: price, features, offer of 3G etc.
But it looks the cam is not 3.2 MP but it is VGA only. It do not give good quality images and images are of 300-400KB only, so how it can be 3MP?

Never buy it - Total loss of money

I purchased this phone couple of months ago.
Here are my feedbacks:-
1. Hangs in regular intervals.
2. Battery backup is worst even with call only, hardly lasts for a day.
3. 3G speed is very poor , I have checked this with multiple operators.

I am now repenting for buying this phone and will change it soon.

Please stay away from this phone.
