Pleasantly Surprising!
Spice Coolpad 2 Mi 496

@ pnagababu : The phone is performing brilliantly. I did face some issues with a 16GB memory card, wherein I could not access Google Play. I even did a factory reset without any success. Finally I removed the 16GB memory card and everything started working perfectly. All in all, I'd say if ...your main purpose is to have a decent smartphone that can handle your Social apps, and some business apps, then this is good Value For money. If you're looking for high-performance in a low price tag, then you need to look elsewhere. I'd still recommend this phone as it has exceeded my expectations based on its price-tag. As mentioned earlier, the phone performs better than the Karbonn A21, which is obvious considering double the RAM and double the processor cores. I haven't checked the free RAM on the phone yet since it also depends on how many apps are running in the background. My basic criteria for buying this phone was to have a budget phone with a high configuration so that I can effectively use it for a couple of years after which it will become obsolete. The forthcoming mobile phones are slated to have 2.3Ghz Quad Core processors with 2GB RAM, and I didn't want to get stuck with a pricey phone that will become 'so-yesterday'. By the way, I wrote this review because when I was looking to buy this phone I couldn't find a single review for it, neither positive nor negative. So if you buy a phone, please do write a review about it and your experience with it. Best of Luck!Read More

Pleasantly Surprising!

This might not actually qualify as a complete review since I've barely spent 4-5 hours with the new Spice Coolpad2 mi-496. Considering the Spice branding, I suppose a lot of people would rather shy away from their products. But given that almost ALL phones are made in China, with only superficia...Read more

Anything but Siemens.
Siemens KS-45U Refrigerator

@ Hemani : If its a recent purchase, you should follow-up with the retailer from where you made the purchase. You may also check with the warranty card for service centres near you. Ultimately, you need to follow-up with them very religiously in order to get the refrigerator fixed. Your problem c...onfirms the fact that Siemens has not modified its products to suit Indian weather conditions. I don't recall getting any specific replies from my emails to the IDs mentioned, but it did get the ball rolling. Best of luck!Read More

I'd swim with Dolphin
Dolphin Mobile Operator

@ kamuboy4u , I can understand that you'd have probably faced a lot of problems. I only presented my opinion and my point of view. I'm sure people would have a lot of complaints in high-congestion areas. Thankfully I'm in a moderately congested area and hence my network reception is good. Besides th...e call-center experience, to which I completely agree, I do not see anything that other networks have not faced. Airtel, Vodafone, Reliance, Tata, there are negative reviews about all of them. Dolphin also has had its share of negative reviews. I just felt that just like negative reviews should be posted, similarly positive reviews should also be posted. This is the whole point of reading reviews. People would want to make choices based on the reviews. Now if ALL reviews are negative, it would be a question of choosing the Service provider with least faults. Again - This is my opinion.Read More

I'm a resident of Mumbai city and have always thought of state-owned enterprises as inefficient and incompetent. After the recent MNP facility was announced, a HUGE number of mobile subscribers flocked to Vodafone. As a result, Vodafone is now the worst service provider in Mumbai. No jokes. I al...Read more

Anything but Siemens.

We had purchased a Siemens refrigerator for domestic use on 06.08.2007 from CROMA store in Juhu, Mumbai.Initially the refrigerator performed well, like any other refrigerator. However 2-3 months after the purchase, the refrigerator stopped cooling and a service representative from RBA Home Appli...Read more
