Micromax C114

I am HAPPY with the performance of Micromax C114. It's a STANDARD CDMA phone which works with both RELIANCE as well as TATA INDICOM networks. The reason that made me buy this phone from the rest is because of 2 reasons
- BATTERY BACKUP (1800 mAH Li-ion)
- PRICE (Rs. 1237)
The above combination along with FLIPKART's Service made this an IRRESISTIBLE OFFER.
The phone was delivered within 4 days as promised by FLIPKART through BLUEDART courier, with first class packing which could sustain a drop as well as resistance from water.
With a single charge this phone works for 6 DAYS with 8 HOURS of Talktime which is pretty good for a phone with a price tag of just Rs 1237.
Overall i would give this phone 8/10.

I was not a big fan of micromax, as i had a bad past experience with the company,i didn't want to buy a micromax mobile again, but, when i visited a MTS store to take CDMA sim, the shop fellow showed me this option. I have to admit, for the price i was shocked to see a good product from micromax. I don't know how long i will have this impression from the company, but the following reasons made me to grab the phone without even thinking other options,

1. Battery capacity 1800Mah, even if the reliability of the battery is 50% i will still have ample juice to run my mobile for 2-3 day with the average talking, that's 20-30min talk.

2. This mobile can be used as a modem, right now MTS India is not providing sim based network plans,but if they do in the future, or for that matter i can choose other operator as well, but coming to the point, you get a USB attached mobile internet. More over i know CDMA is good technology with good data transfers. So, this is an awesome feature.

So, friends, these two options are enough for me,atleast at this price range, and expecting anything top of these is too much to expect.

Build Quality: 4.5/5
Looks are great compared to the price tag. Doesn't look cheap like the other sets priced at the same range. However the cell phone is plastic and looks a little fragile. Handle with care and should last you a couple of years!

Call Quality: 5/5
My girlfriend was surprised at the amazing sound quality. I have been using Nokia N73 and I couldn't find any difference perceivable to the human ear!

Screen: 5/5
Trust me, at 1237/- you wouldn't dream to get a display like this.

Battery Backup: 5/5 (Wish I could rate it 10/5 ;-) )
Now here is the deal!
Have you ever tried chatting non-stop on a 12 hour bus journey?
Get the C114 and you'll be amazed. I still had a couple of hours after I landed.

Service and Delivery: 5/5
FlipKart deserves a 10/5 again!!
This was my first encounter with an online shopping deal. Not being too sure about the service I ordered on a Sunday Evening via "Cash On Delivery" scheme. Got a confirmation mail in 15mins. Replied.

Got a confirmation mail from flipkart in 2 hours saying that your order has been shipped and can be tracked on BlueDart. The expected date was Thursday. I laughed at the entire thing thinking that why would someone deliver me something so quick learning the fact that I haven't paid yet and there was no address proof as such!
And Thursday at 1:15pm I get a text from the BlueDart guys that you have a parcel from FlipKart, please collect it from the counter!! And I have my phone, sealed in 3 layers! :-D

Just one word: WOW!

You need the best buy sitting at your desk, FlipKart it is!

Hi, I have used this phone for 45 days initially things were very good but now I am facing some problem.

Pros: 1.FM reception is good while traveling, volume loud.
2.Torch is helpful.

Cons:
1.The battery life is ok after long usage.
(At the beginning I should charge it once in a week now I have to charge every two days, so the battery life is reduced to a 1000mah battery, I hope it does not get bad in the future!)
2.Well after using the phone for 45days if you press the center key it will work twice automatic. So it really irritating while opening message or contact list.
3. The modem is not working I tried it several times still not working.
(Have to visit the service center to sort this three issues.)
4. Sending messages is not user friendly.

Overall its ok for the price and specification, if you want a phone just for talking then its good, but otherwise it better to go for the Samsung Guru 539 its worth the price and quality in the long run.

I am using this phone just for a month and I am fully satisfied with it.
It has good battery backup, GAMES are really nice and helps you to pass time,
The most healthy part is that I am always remain connected with the people related to my business. Smart looking...
