According to me the camera is 1.3 MP and not 2.0 MP. I feel sellers are quoting it as 2.0 MP to promote the phone.

My dear friend, it may be possible that the camera of this handset is 1.3 MP but the seller saying it as 2 MP due to the feature in which the 1.3 MP camera's resolution can be interpolated upto 2 MP with the help of digital zoom. Many sellers try this trick to misguide the customers.

And for the data cable problem, what exactly the error message are you getting on your pc ?

You can also try bluetooth instead of data cable to transfer files from mobile to pc and vice-versa.

Regards.

I am not getting any error on PC. But ideally PC should recognize the hardware & register it as a Drive. (it is something like we are connecting a flash drive to PC). But in my case it is not recognized & registered. Moreover, Mobile can recognize that it is got connected to PC. Mobile asks me to switched off in the "Mass Storage" mode & And after restarting it just shows that it is connected. But I Can't see anything on PC.

My All USB ports are working when I am connecting Flash Drive to it. Ofcourse I can use Bluetooth for data transfer but Data Cable is more convenient.

Please help if possible.

Thanks,

@Piyush

My dear friend, you need not to restart the phone to be recognise by your pc. You have to only shut it down. As soon as you shut down your mobile, it will be recognized by your pc as an external storage device. And you can transfer the data from pc to mobile and vice versa.

You have to keep your mobile phone in "ON" condition when you are using gprs service. And when you need to use your mobile as a storage device then you have to switch it "OFF".

Regards.

Hows the OS and the UI for SMS and WAP apart from music, camera, etc?

What about the battery life in standby and Talktime?

Have you used both CDMA or both GSM or CDMA+GSM? Is it RUIM enabled?

I havnt tried it for WAP but for SMS UI is good. You have stylus to type character from keyboard (onscreen) also you can use Keypad.

Battery seems good. I don't know the actual figures. The entire manual is written in CHINESE or JAPANEES so can t make out anything.

Yes I have used both CDMA (RELIANCE) & GSM (BSNL) same time. It is RUIM enabled.

Any body has a english version of the Manual. From where I can get that ?

Please help if possible.

@Rahul

My dear friend, I would rate this handset at seven out of 10. Can't recommend it right now as we doesn't got sufficient reviews for this handset. Only recommend this handset after reviewing that.

Although their are not bad reviews as of now. But we should wait a little before buying this phone.

Regards.
