Well, what do you think? An Android 2.1 phone when there is Android 2.3 in the market? Well, even I thought the same. But we cant help it, the phone is made that way, maybe there will be an option to upgrade your OS. Its got a 600MHz Qualcomm processor, which is enough for a normal user. And this is a mid-range phone, there is not much high-end activity you can do.

The on-board storage available to the user is a little over 100 MB, which doesn’t really matter because will obviously be getting a microSD card and storing all your data on it. The screen is 3.2” big, perfect size, and since there is a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard, messaging is a brief on this phone.

But the one this I dont like is this is not a GSM phone, its a CDMA. So CDMA lovers have a pretty good here. The phone supports EV-DO, which is something like the 3G in GSM. So you will be able to use high speed internet on the device. There are other standard connectivity options like a microUSB port, Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi and others.

The GPS will help you find any location you want on a map. And you can get directions easily. There is a 3.1MP camera, along with it comes the GeoTagging feature. So you dont have to manually specify where you took the pic.

Now, the pros are that it has a mid-range price tag, a good keyboard, great connectivity options and its Android. The cons are that the phone is really sluggish!! But the battery drains quickly.
