    This is an power house, I am impressed. The price is of a mid range phone 17 K and giving freebies as boomband and JBL headphones. Wonderful, I would say absolutely value for money!

    On a different note, does bluetooth enable boomband eats battery like anything, through out the day?
    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
