                        A97 IS excellent phone with 4". But upto this time, there is no rooting method and no custom roms are available in Web (even in Xda) .
                        So if you are a Often Rom changer, then go for Sam y duos. For Sam y duos custom roms are available in xda forums.
                        If you are not going to change the roms (habit) , then go for Celkon A97.

                                  HI, Any opinion on the Service Centers and after sale service..there seem to be outlets in Maharashtra.

                                  Seems like a good option but after sale service could be deal breaker. reply awaited..cheers

                                        Everything about the phone is excellent, especially its price..can confidently say it is even better than Samsung Galaxy Ace even though Celkon is a newcomer and not branded...the only problem in the phone is the battery..if you are planning to use wifi, you had better keep a charger next to you...its that bad....but dont worry, hopefully Celkon will provide backup batteries with more capacity and power in the future for this wonderful mobile......
