    You have mentioned that it is priced around 5000 – 6000. That’s not right. Say it specifically. See this site indiapricelist.com – it’s a high traffic website. You can start such a category in your website and ad all latest prices of tech stuff in india. It will help you to drive search engine traffic.

    Couldn’t find a phone with Wi-Fi for under $200 in The Bahamas but this one is awesome. It is quick, light-weight and easy to use.

    This is a great little phone — even has wifi, but beware AT&T users. I’ve had to add settings to receive MMS messages, but even after talking to ATT reps, am still unable to receive MMS, though am able to send/receive regular text messages. Also, I cannot log onto Internet via mobile Internet. WiFi works great, tho, and can even access YouTube. Great little phone.

      As per your requirements… Nokia E5 would be a better choice.

    Greetings from La! I’m bored at your workplace thus i made a decision to browse your blog on my own iphone during lunch break. I enjoy the info you present here and can’t wait to take a look as i return home. I’m surprised at how quick your blog loaded on my own mobile .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, superb blog!
