I have been using this phone for about 6 months now and believe me had I not 100% required internet on the go I would never have gone for this phone.
First the looks. The looks from a distance are good, the graphic LCD is impressive and the sleekness is also appreciated. However on a closer inspection the phone appears shoddily built. The keys son't sit well in their slots, there is far too much play in my opinion.
As a phone. Have had several people complain about not getting my voice clearly. The signal strenth is at best mediocre, that might be a Reliance issue too, so I don't entirely blame the phone. The battery life is just about okay, you WILL have to charge the phone everyday if you talk on it for anything more than an hour a day. Far too expensive for the features it offers.
Usability. Poor Poor POOR. While typing an SMS if you have to start a word with a capital letter you have to cycle through all the various modes, including HINDI and SYMBOLS, before you get to the mode with the first letter in capitals. While entering a number you cannot go to two numbers previously you have to delete all numbers in between before you correct a number. For instance if you missed the initial zero while typing a 9-digit number and wanted to insert just the zero, you would have to delete everything and then type it all over again!!!
I plan to change the phone as soon as I don't feel I have been robbed when I upgrade phones at Reliance. :-)
