Micromax A85

I was one of the many consumers, who were eagerly waiting for this phone. But atlast it turned out to be a great disappointment. Why? See below.nnn1. Android Version - While every other manufacturer is striving to release mobiles based on ice cream sandwich, micromax was able to give us only Froyo. What a pity!!nn2. Battery Life - We all know dual core is a battery sucker. How is the 1500 mAh battery going to stand against the hungry processor? We have to wait for reviews, but still it's a big let down.nn3 Price - We all buy Micromax not because of brand loyalty but only for the 'value for money'. I was expecting this to be priced around 13-14k range. But lets wait and see... If the sales are alarmingly low, MicroMax will defenitely reduce the price. nnnThis is an over priced mobile with poor battery and obsolete OS. Sure there are some postive reasons to buy it, but defenitely the negatives overweigh them. nnn- Kichilee

Even I was one of the many consumers, who were eagerly waiting for this phone. And I am so happy that this is finally out...nnI don't agree with my friend Kichilee views, now to answer, Kichilee queries: nn1. Android Version - While every other manufacturer is striving to release mobiles based on ice cream sandwich, micromax was able to give us only Froyo. What a pity!!n--> First of none are out yet with 'icecream' but Yes it would have been great if it was gingerbread but froyo is still good and anyways they will upgrade gingerbread soon. nn2. Battery Life - We all know dual core is a battery sucker. How is the 1500 mAh battery going to stand against the hungry processor? We have to wait for reviews, but still it's a big let down.n--> Well that is where Tegra power comes in. Tegra is low power consumption SoC [sytem-on-chip - that has all chips on it] that's why you don't have to worry about power consumption.nn3 Price - We all buy Micromax not because of brand loyalty but only for the 'value for money'. I was expecting this to be priced around 13-14k range. But lets wait and see... If the sales are alarmingly low, MicroMax will defenitely reduce the price. n--> If you compare it with rest available in market you will see this is really at much less than all rest of them. nnThis is an over priced mobile with poor battery and obsolete OS. Sure there are some postive reasons to buy it, but defenitely the negatives overweigh them. n--> No man, it is not. It is the best high end mobile you can get in 18K.nn- Sachinn(let me know if you guys disagree)
