Hi all,

I am looking for a CDMA handset to be used on RCDMA with following requirements

- Android i.e. smartphone

- good camera

- cost INR5K-INR6K

- CDMA+GSM a bonus but not must

- good call clarity

- good battery backup is preferred

- internet will rarely be used

- will be used by middle aged person

- Indian handset with warranty preferred for above reason

Please advise

Get Motorola xprt or DROID pro. Awesome battery and even awesome camera from my experience on xprt. U got to see pics to believe the camera clarity. I think it's one of the most under rated camera.

Only thing is no warranty and budget may have to be increased just a tad if looking for new piece

Droid pro/xprt are good .

I think you your self is having admiral.

Its almost same as pro or xprt.

Also around ur budget only .

For warranty or dual SIM, u need to find Indian market handsets only.

You are correct admiral being used by father. Xprt also for GSM used by him. I need one more phone for someone else. Not in hurry though. Thanks for the guidance.

I don't think there are good indian warranty CDMA handset which will fulfill all your listed requirement in 5-6K.


Since you already know the drill for importing a handset, would suggest Samsung Galaxy Axiom OR Samsung Stellar, preference being for axiom for better camera/NFC. Both has 1.2Ghz Dual Core Qualcomm Krait processor, 1GB RAM, 4" Display, android jelly bean & massive 2100 mAh battery. Both also works on OMH SIM with data so no MEID registration should be necessary. Don't think there is any other phone with specs similar/better to axiom you can get at below cost. Total cost including customs+shipping should be around Rs 7,000 for Axiom. iShop international is giving total quote of Rs 7,195 with item cost Rs 5,604, international shipping Rs 425 & Duty/Taxes/Fees Rs 1,166. May end up even cheaper on Shop&ship as ishop duty/taxes are high.




Good condition Samsung Stellar are available at even lower from $ 60 onwards on ebay.com.

@Rajan bhai thanks for providing out of box and best solution as always

One question, will data work on Axiom data on OMH by default or is programming/configuring (read a thread about data on Axiom for JB) needed?

I would prefer plug and play tbh as it will be used by an elderly person, and honestly even if data would not be used much it is always good to have provision for it for a mid range priced phone like this

Some effort may be needed for OMH data to work on Axiom for Jellybean. Should be an hour at the most.
Solution is here at RIMweb itself in following two topics:
