not that its bad, but you could have got a SE Cedar for 5.5K (7.2Mbps/2Mbps). looking for the future, private players are gonna launch 3G at higher speeds.

Congrats none the less :)

the future in India is bleek , 7.2 Mbps will come in the next 10 yrs after ten hundred more delays , u my friend are too optimistic :p

Congrats on ur new phone , lots of people r jealous considering the price u got it at, heck a modem would cost almost as much and that too 6 months warranty

thanks man! SE makes the worst phones!!! I got a taste of their amazingly useless After sales service last year. I wouldn't buy SE even if they were the only ones making mobiles--i would rather not use a mobile.

This one even got front cam for video calling? Amazing. I will check this out in local market, if its available for same price I will rather get this one instead of second hand Nokia phone which I was planning to get.

i Agree on the part of the A.S.S. but for the two phones in our family i can say they are pretty robust and the audio quality of SE phones is the best part. :)

i just pray with SE they do not encounter any hardware problems

P.S : i was not impressed with nokia service at my locality (SE was better).

Congrats on the purchase, but using it with BSNL 3G as your primary net connection, isnt that too much to ask of a phone. I mean the batter life and all.
