                      true, but dont forget apps can be placed
                      on SD] ,
                      but you have to remember, some apps
                      can ' t be installed SD .
                      4. divx out of the box, [there is an apps
                      called vPlayer and it can read maybe all
                      video format] ,
                      you' re right ..
                      5. N-Drive app out of the box , it ' s not
                      free
                      on the market, [not everyone loves N-
                      Drive],

                      not big enough too , SD replacement is a
                      must ] ,
                      2GB bigger than 1GB , that ' s for sure . SD

                            i hope it had better internal memory.

                            Apps to sd in android is not great.

                            You can only part of apps to sd card.

                                How much RAM does this have? If it has 512MB RAM like Optimus and priced similar to that then it would be great. Nice looks (Though is a copy job;))

                                  With 70p/min for video calls....secondary camera is a must in India now :)
