cbn, 29 Apr 2012 i got this for 7300 yesterday... my first android phone.... more hi all

definetly great buy for me.
set is reduced if it is used after fully charged

now i'm using skype for voice call. for video call skype notes that this handset not listed in their list.
u should not enable video calling option.. otherwise no issue for voice call and message.
it doesn't support flash.

i also downloaded Tango.. i've to try video call.

for video player BS player lite is great it plays mkv and .ac3 audio file also.
in settings I've to specify format for software and hardware decoding.

best best mobile phone i'm really surprised of this set.
always maitain the clear data and change max. application to sd card.
for audio player X player is best.

always check for unwanted running of face book it take 10MB of ram.

      I am using this phone for more then a week now,some of the pros and cons of the phone are listed below.

      Build quality:

      1-->Good build quality,the dark chocolate brown color looks awesome. the quality of plastic and SS back battery cover makes the phone feel rigid and heavy.

      Network:
      1--> it supports everything, wifi hotspot,bluetooth 3.0 A-GPS. I installed Sygic to check the GPS signal and working and it worked flawlessly.
      2-> 2 sim support - one for 3g and other for 2g. Micromax has done some good software upgrade to recognize the sims from which u dial or send message.Trust me the interface for it is not the one if any 1 thinks if its a china phone.

      Qwerty Keyboard:
      keyboard is ok, not like the one on BB, but it ofcourse takes time to get use to it. Both the android keyboard and physical keyboard can be used as the big screen makes it more convenient.

      Battery:
      1300 Mah-- its not that good not bad either. With a full charge and whole day connected to GPRS and sometimes WIFI. it last for one full day. I have HTC one X , 1800mah battery and it last for same either.

      Sound Quality;
      Ok from the supplied in-earphones and good if you use a nice headphones. It also has a RDS radio which works good.

      Movies- Dont expect micromax to play 1080p movies, u can plan a normal NON HD video easily.

      Quadrant Benchmark--> I ran the complete benchmark and its just below the score of samsung galaxy s so not bad.

      Software- It has many software provided with the phone like FB, TOI, Micromax market and ofcourse it also support android market and google PLAY.


      Camera: Not good. Its not autofocus and takes average photo in Sunlight and frankly no use of flash.

      Speakers: Very good and loud.

      Final Words--> Good phone at 7200 INR mostly coz of
      Android
      Dual Sim
      Qwerty Keyboard
      Build Quality
      definitely an alternative to BB as dnt have to subscribe for BB service.

      Not Good for
      HD movies
      Camera

          Does the phone get heated up during heavy use say eg while on call for more than 20 minutes? That seems the problem with the other micromax A70. Also what are the SAR values?

              To dp,
              tell us more about the video calling experience. Also if any common apps you won't be able to install e.g. skype. Does it support the adobe flash player and chrome browser?
              Looking forward.

                          i bought it 5 days before.
                          im a high end android user..
                          so far, its performance is as per the expectation..

                          average speed response. 256 RAM, 650 mHz processor.
                          quite comparable touchpad and sound
                          advantage of Dual SIM and Keypad.

                          though camera is not enjoyable yet A78,
                          the QUITE GOOD android phone we can have at this prize (7590 Rs.)

                          ya, battery life i think is disapointing with average 7-10 hours "IN HAND" usage after 5 days of experience...
