I've highlighted the features you should pay attention to. Although the USP of this phone is 'Mini-Theater', I find the screen to be smaller than what I'd expect. Of course, that is my personal opinion. FM recording with scheduler is a nice feature to have because the phone has ample expandable memory (8GB) and you can schedule your favorite FM station to record at specific time. I also liked that the battery is 1050 mAh and the standby time is impressive.

The lack of EDGE support in an era of 3G is disappointing and so is the 2 MP camera. Granted that the large microSD support compensates for the other features, it would have been nicer to have a 3.2 MP camera.

The price of this phone is around Rs. 3000/- in India. I think for the price, this phone offers value for money.
