not a good phone. processor speed and battery is too low for android to work well. a big thumbs down to this phone.

2.1(eclair) & 2.3(gingerbird) are better operating system from android. 2.2 froyo is facing a lot of problems and not a huge hit. Instead of using 2.2 its far much better to use 2.1 (eclair).
2.3 require more capable n advanced hardware.

Android 2.1! why not 2.2 or 2.3?
