@upen
Thanks for information, but jab video call ka jhanjhat hai nahin to price 5000/- ke aaspaas hona chahiye. 7500/- se 8000/- mein to aur jyada features wale GSM phone aa jate hain.

CDMA multimedia sets are too costly. Battery life is also poor. GSM sets are affordable. Battery life is also very good. Purchase a CDMA handset is not a good decission.

hi guys,
I am using LG6300 since the past 5 months and it is really gud with so many unique features.the 2MP camera is also really gud.battery lasts for about 5 days.
Keshav Jha October 19, 2010 at 9:24 am
Tata Indicom ka to acchha service hai bhai. Tumhare area mein kaise kharab hai? Tata Indicom ka RUIM aaloo, pyaaj jaise nahin bikta hai (like GSM SIM), phir bhi iske cust. badhte ja rahe hain.
Keshav Jha October 19, 2010 at 9:17 am
CDMA mein kuchh aisa mobile aaye jisme Bada sa display, MP3, Video, Internet, Video Streaming, EVDO, Bluetooth etc ho to maja aa jaye. Is tarah ke jo bhi handset market mein hain wo kafi manhage hain. These sets of LG are very good but I don’t like LG phones. Samsung ya Nokia ka ho to baat bane.
KAPIL K. DEV October 19, 2010 at 7:39 am
@ Gopi, It is the situation in Kerala, but do you know the situation of other states?
Vinayak October 19, 2010 at 7:37 am
I was using LG RD 2650 for more than 4 years. It is only now that I changed to Samsung B 559. Battery is good, no doubt about it. But I still prefer my previous LG phone when it comes to the overall sleekness and the size. ALso the I am not too happy with the keypad of the Samsung B 559, it gives a too much of a plasticky feel. Other than that it is a cool phone
GOPI October 19, 2010 at 7:37 am
MTS and Reliance has good number of customers, I don’t think others have a good number of customers, most of the people quit tata indicom due to their bad service. But MTS grows with customers.
Vinayak October 19, 2010 at 7:36 am
@KAPIL K. DEV
The advertised talktime is 6 hours. I am getting around that much (a little lesser though). But the best CDMA phone in terms of battery at least
KAPIL K. DEV October 19, 2010 at 7:31 am
@PDNair
MTS, BSNL CDMA, Garuda and PING also have good number of customers
KAPIL K. DEV October 19, 2010 at 7:10 am
@ VikasGoyal, Go for Samsung guru B559 CDMA handset, more than 10 hours talktime, amazing battery backup, any CDMA sim including OMH sim will work.
GOPI October 19, 2010 at 7:05 am
Cookie Spark (LG235) is EVDORev0 and Cookie Zip (LG510) is EVDO RevA
ISHA October 19, 2010 at 6:59 am

@rahulraj
agree with you must be some mistake maybe a typo.
AmitS October 18, 2010 at 9:53 pm
In these days evdo is must for cdma phones like 3g in gsm. not any above mentioned set have evdo standerd. This is not good for cdma community.
Vinayak Pai October 18, 2010 at 9:23 pm
I just love the 6160 features. And the best part about the phone is that it does not have a camera.
PDNair October 18, 2010 at 9:18 pm
I disagree. If that is the truth why the need for newer models ? There are two main players – Reliance and Tata and both have a good number of customers ! Even I have sims of both. And I don’t want to buy two sets. LG can ignore the combined CDMA customer base, especially Reliance ! I still hope better

@PDNair
yes but CDMA users are much lesser than GSM users that is why they are not bringing cdma+cdma.
PDNair October 18, 2010 at 8:08 pm
Many customers are waiting for duel CDMA+CDMA phone ! Why are such hands sets not being marketed Majority of the subscribers have more than 2 sims. As such such handsets are the need of the hour. I woud suggest Sanjayji to bring this to the notice of LG. Only LG has wide approval.
VikasGoyal October 18, 2010 at 7:59 pm
They are Good Phones. I want to ask the users and moderators –is there any LG CDMA BASIC phone which can give talktime of 10+ hours? any one please reply. Thanks
rahulraj October 18, 2010 at 7:43 pm
spark’s price z unbelieveable…!!!!
