Spice M-6800 FLO

I purchased this phone from market and am now using it & SURELY recommend this phone.

The phone is handy, good build quality, however slippery due to gloss finish.... but that doesn't make much difference.

All the features-Bluetooth,Wifi, calls, messages, opera, profiles etc. works perfectly.

Touch screen is big, sensitive & it is easy to type on using QWERTY interface also even in portrait mode. icons are large and well placed.
Screen is high resolution bright,clear but may be difficult to read in direct sunlight.
UI is very clear, smooth, not lagging and easy to understand,

Shell Settings (Shortcuts) for 12 different functions can be placed and accessed easily- A DISTINCT AND DEFINITELY A GOOD FEATURE.

Supports 8GB MicroSD expandable memory card & I have used 4GB without any problem.
Sound, pictures, camera, speaker are all perfect & Overall a
perfect phone.

I have been using this mobile for the past five months.So,I have a very good experience with this mobile. First of all,this mobile is for those who change their mobile often and cannot be used for the long run.I am a fan of spice and have had four spice mobiles in the past and I do regret being their customer sometimes.Believe me or not,You shall spend more time in the Spice service outlet if you buy mobiles of spice/Karbonn/Micromax.And the main point to note here is that almost all these brands have the same software and suffer from the same defects.Lets take a look at the highs and lows:
+M6800 is worth for the money you spend on it.
+Its java platform gives you the ANDROID feeling.
+You have many home screens that paves for easy access for favourite contacts,reading msgs,checking missed calls etc
+If you like big screen mobiles at low price with touch interface,this may be your mobile
+In many mobiles,I found that the name of the service provider displayed on the screen like "AIRTEL","TATA DOCOMO" cannot be disabled and it is particularly irritating when you are not able to see your favourite heroine's face properly on the home screen because of it.In this mob, the displaying of service provider name is optional.
+Bluetooth is pretty good with the higher end nokia,samsung mobiles.
+Ease of access is he main advantage.
+The camera is perfect.With 3.2mp,the clarity is too good,Even better than the 5mp nokia x2.
+the sound system is not too loud like the lower end spice nor too low like the sony ericsson walkman phones.The earphones that comes is of the IN EAR type ans is pretty good when you travel in a noisy bus,train.
+The live wall paper allows you to play with it when you get too bored and that cannot be found in other phones.
+Its slim and looks stunningly sexy.

My title says it all. It's also pretty easy to use once you get used to it (which will take mostly an hour or so). The sound is not the loudest but not bad. Only to observe its durabulity now.

Wow! the price has come down now!-It is really a nice stuff to possess.Extremely user friendly--only thing is that no proper documentation as to how to operate the set. One has to start with some trial and error, but ultimately when you master the art of using it, it becomes wonderful!The best part is that all conversations on the telephone gets recorded by default-it only asks the user whether to save the conversation or not - that too at the end of the call! This becomes very handy specially when one is listening to some important instruction from somebody.The sound quality, and the camera are also quite good.It can take two SIMs and every time it asks which sim to use.It also has options to blacklist certain numbers as per user's wish. One negative part of the phone is that the touch screen is not very sensitive:sometime it responds immediately and sometimes it doesn't. This feature has one positive aspect also- which is one can't accidentally delete anything from the phone easily.... WELL, lastly , the service of Flipkart!It is amazingly wonderful.

I could only think of the above +ve's for now.But they will suffice.Now for the negatives, that really screwed me up!
-the touch interface is of resistive type.So you have to put in more pressure even more than that of other resistive branded mobiles.So,if you had used capacitive touch before,pl think a hundred timed if you can cope up with this mobile.
- the key guard button will work good for the first few days and its functionality will stop even within a month's of its buying.
-The most irritating thing you will experience is when you hear the default ringtone ,in an unknown language to you(I dont know HINDI) instead of your favourite MJ's BEAT IT.
I encountered the last two problems repeatedly and spent all my weekends in the service center.Those guys will be able to solve only the basic problems.After the service,for first two days,the mobile will be under your control.Then it will start screwing you up in ways you cant imagine.When you go to the service center again,they will tell that your mobile has "to be sent to the company" and it will take weeks before you see your mobile, only to start its screwing methods in other ways.So,if I told that I am having it for fIVE months,then that includes one month in "company" and another one month in"Service center"
-The mobile comes with too much of applications that you dont need at all.
The thing with the OPERA browser that comes preinstalled is that it cant load a heavy sized WEBPAGE.It will show as "memory overload". It cant even load WIKIPEDIA properly.Also,you cant delete the applications that you dont want in the first place.
-Thw WIFI notification WHETHER it is "ON" or "OFF" is always present in the home screen and is slightly irritating.
-As I told before,we can switch to one of the many home screens.There are some home screens that are permanently present and some can be disabled by the user.But even after disabling they tend to appear again and again.This is one of the inherent defects of the software and cannot be resolved at all.I dont know if it is experienced only in my set or with all the sets.So,I request others who bought this mobile to check for this defect.
to be clear,the stps are-
1.go to settings home screen
2.choose shell settings.
3.disable the recent calls option.click the back button.
4.now,you can see that the navigation indicator i.e "green bar"that appears below to be slightly bigger.
5.Now go o your original wall paper screen.Check if the green bar has shrunk in size and see if you can see the recent calls screen.
-You will have slight problems in handling the mobile at first.Increasing or decreasing the volume,zooming etc will prove tough to handle.So do not give it to friends or they will snap it on your face.B-)
-yOU wont get much of your favourite java applications as many does not support touch.
-Another magic that comes with the phone: try calling from another mobile/landline to to M6800.You will get the call notification in M6800 only after two rings.Sometimes,even after pressing the ANSWER BUTTON you cant speak immediately.It may take two to three seconds before you can actually talk.So,LOVERS ARE NOT ADVISED TO USE THIS MOBILE.:-)
I would like to go on and on about this mobile.But is still my favourite.It was presented to me by my sister and its a good thing for a present.The FLIPKART team does a really good job to make the outer look JAW DROPPING however and whatever the thing inside is!.
OVERALL: YOU CAN GIVE IT A TRY PROVIDED THE ABOVE DEFECTS WILL NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON YOU.YOU WILL NOT GET ANOTHER MOBILE LIKE M-6800 FLO.ITS ONE OF THE BEST SPICE HAS PRODUCED.
NOTE:THE ABOVE MENTIONED ARE TRUE TO MY KNOWLEDGE AND IS BEING EXPERIENCED IN MY MOBILE TILL DATE.SO,BY ANY CHANCE IS THE SPICE "COMPANY" SEES MY COMMENTS,I REQUEST TO PUT AN END TO THE PROBLEMS I FACE.PLEASE.
