Shankar/Others,
A friend is trying to decide between Asha 311 & 303. Any feedback on how these phones are, or any Asha (series) phone. Please do provide your inputs.
Suits my mum fine because she only makes calls, sends a lot of texts and takes photos with her mobile. Does not use the phone for browsing and other app heavy functionality.

Yes, a stock ROM upgrade to V2 has been effected on the phone, from the factory [for the fresh pieces]. Internal storage [where apps save, default] is now 1.48GB [from 0.5GB] and internal SD card is now 1.05GB [reduced from 2.05GB].

Get that phone soon.
I got my phone delivered via Flipkart today morning. Have not got time to unpack and explore it.
How does one identify whether the phone is v2?

Is it sensible to buy XOLO X900 @ 17k?

MM A110 was the first shortlist, but slowly moved away. but looking to the review i think i should pick A110

I too have Samsung Omnia W and thinking of Micromax A110.
I sold it for 11K 4 months old Cell. No one is ready to buy Windows Phone due to lack of File Transfer through Bluetooth . Finally, had to give an option to the buyer to pay in 3EMI. He has given me 2 post dated cheque's and 3K down payment

You can see internal storage having 1.48GB of total storage space and internal SD card having 1.05GB of total storage space. This is the easiet way to identify if the stock rom V2 upgrade has been done for your phone.

It should likely be, if it has been December manufactured, I would guess.

re: The Mobile Phone Thread - Queries, decisions, discussions all here

Any good Android between 10k to 15k Max. The phone will be for my wife as her current phone (Non Android) has started behaving weirdly.

Usage pattern in a day

1. 20-25 minutes calling
2. 4-5 messages
3. Clicking snaps (A good Camera)
4. Whats app
5. FB
6. Some Games - occasionally

I have shortlisted Samsung Galaxy S duos which retails now at 14900/- with price reduction (also it will be getting JB update as per Samsung).

My sister is using the same cell from past two months and she is very much happy with it.

Any other options - I am open to Sony and HTC (No Windows phone as I am using one and she finds is difficult to operate)

Will be buying it tonight

Or for 12,000 odd you can get an iPhone 3Gs 8GB from the grey market. My mom has been using a 3GS since quite a while now and she's very happy with it!

Thanks 9thsphinx

Although the price you mentioned looks mouth watering for iPhone 3Gs but I am very much skeptical about buying anything from grey market.

Also the fact that my wife would be using the cell and if it is in warranty i will have peace of mind

Is a almost new like iPhone 3GS worth at $135/- unlocked? This would be for my sister and she would be mostly using this for calls/data and some times pictures.

re: The Mobile Phone Thread - Queries, decisions, discussions all here

I got my Nexus4 on New Years Eve. I must say its quite a piece of tech. Downloads are super fast via Wi-Fi. And the 2GB RAM helps alot, at one point I was running 4-5 apps and was using just under 350MB of RAM.

I haven't been able to get a micro-sim yet, hence cannot comment on speeds via 3G.

Nice one mac!!! I too have been waiting in the wings for N4 to arrive but the waits getting too longer.

Wonder why haven't you been get the micro sim? If nano is available shouldn't micro be easier to get?

Omnia is a superb phone. You should have installed Android into it, I have HD2 bought 3 years back with Windows 6.5, but now I am able to install Android Jelly Bean and doing great.
