It is overpriced, at d same price range- Motorola Fire XT which costs Rs 12k, has a better processor(800 Mhz), better camera (5 mp with flash, big screen (3.5 inches), Moto Switch UI (Five customizable screens), a front camera, Android v2.3.4 and a very good battery backup… better go with Moto as it is now owned by Google nd der will no lag in updates.It is overpriced, at d same price range- Motorola Fire XT which costs Rs 12k, has a better processor(800 Mhz), better camera (5 mp with flash, big screen (3.5 inches), Moto Switch UI (Five customizable screens), a front camera, Android v2.3.4 and a very good battery backup… better go with Moto as it is now owned by Google nd der will no lag in updates.

Better than the rubbish Samsung galaxy Fit which has just 65K Colour display making it like a cartoon mobile. This phone has 256k colour display and has 1280mAh battery.

The camera is disappointing. And what’s the 384MB/512MB RAM? Is that uncertain!?
