Micromax Q75 is a really bad phone.This phone is not a SmartPhone and not 3G enabled. So goodbye to all your funky fascinating apps! It looks very good until you switch it on. It's steel body is sleek. But the moment you switch it on, it has a very loud welcome tone something similar to those you find in Chinese mobiles. The display is of a very bad quality. It does not support any themes other than the one pre-installed in it. The speakers are very loud even at its lowest volume. The alerts and ringtones are all from Chinese phones. Unlike LG phones, it does not allow you the freedom to customize your profiles.
You cannot have every song or track as your ringtone. The profile settings only allow 5 tracks to be on the profile options. You cannot have a vibration for the ring tone and a beep for the message tone at the same time. Its battery back up last only 24 hours. So you really want to keep a profile that is not very loud to save battery back-up. The camera is 3.2MP without flash and without zoom. The zoom is available only on the 320*240 image size. The camera settings are not too many and are mostly like those from some ancient camera. The phone memory is 87.7MB. And it supports a memory card upto 8GB. The one merit would be that the files exchanged go directly to the destination folder, i.e., memory card or the phone memory, which can be decided in the bluetooth settings. The caller picture is very humiliating!!
Typical of a Chinese phone!! The merits of the phone would beits pre-installed Opera Mini Browser, but the demerit is that it only allows HTML view and no video buffering. If you switch to WAP browser, it takes forever to do that. The other applications like Snaptu, Nimbuzz, Facebook, and ZengaMail are for namesake. Snaptu has many links but not all of them work. Nimbuzz is there only for the heck of it. It does not work. Zengamail will not work once you update your email address. It also does not allow you to multi-task. For exaple, you cannot do anything at all if you are sending files via bluetooth. You cannot play songs while browing on Java applications. You cannot play games while listening to music. You cannot use the camera and play songs at the same time. The dual sim feature is also really bad.
Obviously when one sim is engaged, the other will obviously be on waiting. The only good feature about the phone would be its trackball which allows you quick navigation through the phone. But the trackball stops working if there is too much moisture or oil on it. For instance if you have an oily skin type, there'd be a lot of moisture on the trackball and it will not work efficiently. I found a way to not find myself in service centres to have the trackball changed constantly, which costs Rs. 300 by the way, and that is by rubbing some dust or powder on the trackball. It increases the friction and the trackball is as good as new. You can keep doing this to save yourself a good ordeal of running around Micromax's shitty service centres. The phone is also ver heavy and it has a rubber cover that comes with the handset.
The rubber case is ribbed and allows you so much friction that it makes it practically difficult to fit the phone your pockets, especially if you are wearing a pair of fitting jeans. So basically, Micromax Q75 and the entire Micromax range..
