thank you arnab i have had a similar or worse experience with the micromax a57, fortunately i could get rid of it after using it for around 20 days. the in phone volume is pathetic and the voice in the earpiece tends to cut, the proximit sensor misbehaved and what not.
well i have gotten rid of it at 3500rs (got it at 4700) still am happy with the loss of 1200
on the other side karbonn a15 is a very nice phone and apart from a couple of hitches - not bugs just hitches - it is perfect and although i got it for 5900 (plus the parking ticked of 200 i paid that day
) which the lucky few and the other one i bought for a friend on hs18 got it for 4450/-, i am still happy with it.
pros
- display is a good 4 inches
- ram is 388mb (??)
- internal storage of 2.5 gb
- ICS - (personally i dont think all these numbers at the end of android matter as i was happy with my gingerbread in my old phone as well)
- hardly any lag - runs temple run etc - plays 720 avi ( though not 720 mp4- it does but there is a lag and an unsynch )
- excellent battery backup, it was too good to start with but since i installed deep sleep today at 54 hrs (2.25 days) my battery shows 42% with moderate usage of phone - few messages and even a bout of temple run. ( too good !!! )
well no other problem
there are a few cons though i cannot say they are cons just hitches.
- vibration is a little mild - well never use it myself and wouldnt have noticed if someone had not mentioned.
- my gravity sensor is not calibrated and i cant find the setting to calibrate it (may be i am overlooking a setting - but i can find it in the usual place)
- for the life of us - we people on this board cannot find a compatible CWM mod - i know it is not a con but i like the facility to backup my system when is perfectly optimized and restore it as soon as there is some clutter or it shows signs of getting slow and a CWM is perfect for that.
im sure other can add a few points on either side - but all in all it is highly recommended !!!
