@Aditya
No buddy it doesn has Wifi tats they are so cheap
Sajay Bafna Can we use other operators sim cards in tis phone(HTC smart 3G)or it is network locked??
I had purchased this handset a month ago and ever since has been lying at the service centre bcos of Network failure
and Battery malfunction. I got a replacement and I was happy . The company people said that there was a problem
with the earlier handset- I had already got the software update done for it atleast 3 times . But again the new
handset also had the same problems .As advised by the service centre – I got my SIM changed but to no avail. So
Beware . It is a cheap Smartphone with features that would make u feel that u should instead have purchased some
other phone- each time u handle it. The FM sound is so low – u have to b in a soundproof room to hear it well . The
phone takes ever so long to boot- more than 2 minutes.
It does not have any of the features that a phone has at half the price. Only Skin deep looks– nothing to gain from this purchase.
