Micromax Q75

I brought this mobile 1 year ago for Rs.4500/-. I'm quiet impressed by it's features and performance.nnPros:-n1) Voice clarity is high n2) Opera mini is functioning well both with GPRS and Wi-Fi 3)video and audio players are good with pretty good soundn4) good battery backup and very pretty looks (similar to Blackberry curve)n5) It supports a very good modem speed for GPRS (50kbps is what I've observed) when connected to system for internet. This is a very good feature for a mobile of this price, as most of the phones of this price support only upto some 20 or 30 kbps. So, it's good news for internet users. nnCons:-n1) Camera is really really bad, although the company advertises it as 3.2MP, it's almost like VGA clarity.n2) It's signal reception is quiet lower than that of in Nokia.n3) Although the inbuilt browser(Operamini) supports any network provider, while we connect the phone to a PC for internet only Airtel, Reliance and Tata Docomo work fine. So, if we use idea, Aircel, BSNL etc, we can browse net in phone but in PC. (Note:- I haven't tested Vodafone,Uninor,Virgin etc.,).n4) The inbuilt applications like Facebook and Nimbuzz don't work no matter what you do.n5) We can't listen to songs in background while browsing net on phone.n n So, finally what I would like to say is Micromax Q75 is a good choice for those who love music, people who use GPRS very often and those who need good battery backup.n But, people who are looking for a pretty decent camera, forget this.nn Hope you found this review useful.... _ Bala.

First of all I would like to inform everyone that FlipKart delivers Sealed Box pack of the handset! The box itself is wrapped in a bubble pack and then the bubble pack was again packed with corrugated hard-board which makes the set practically secured in a locker during transit. Thanks to Flipkart for such professional attitude!nnNow I'd like to put forward a few lines regarding the handset Q75 I bought from Flipkart:nnBuilt Quality:nThis hadset has awesome built-quality, just like any premium handset of a premium brand. The Casing has metal into it which makes the handset a bit heavy but the sam makes it more prtected too. The keypad is wonderful. Keys are organised in such a way that you'll find it hard to get two keys pressed together. The keypad response is tactile and does not miss any input.nnLooks:nDue to superb built-quality, the phone looks pricier and elegant. The combination of metallic brown and chocolate colour in the back and metallic brown and carbon-black in the front makes the lifts the phone's looks to an elegant executive class. The screen is good when seen from the front but as it is common with TN panels, it has very low viewing angle.nnHardware:nThe handset boasts MTK 6235 chip set (with ARM9 208MHz CPU) which offers amazing speed with smooth browsing through menus and excellent Wi-Fi connectivity. Whatever you do, the handset never appears sluggish. This is really crazy with this handset with such a price tag! It has a whooping 87.7MB usable phone memory which I have never seen in any handset. Even in my Nokia 5235 has 82MB phone memory out of which, about 70MB is usable.nnBattery:nIt was really hard to believe that this handsets 1200mAh battery will stand for 2 days! But, amazingly, it lasts for about 5 days with normal usage with dual-sim functionality activated.nnInterface:nThe OS of the Q75 needs time to get used to. It has some very useful features like scheduled on/off timer, multiple alarms, Alarms in calender entry and To Do notes etc. You can set user specific ringtones for Calls on Sim1/Sim2, alert tones for messages on Sim1-Sim2 and tones for Alarms etc from your music collection stored either in Phone Memory or additional microSD card. The trackball navigation may seem to be fiddly for newbies but it would be very useful once you get used to it. For the elderly and people with less precision, the sensitivity of the track-ball can be varied on a scale of 1-5 for ease of access.nnAudio Playback:nVery loud ringtone with great tonal quality. The Music player refreshes automatically to generate playlist. Audio playback quality is very good in both built-in speakers and headphones provided.nnVideo Playback:nSmooth playback for videos of qVGA/MP4 and qCIF/3GP quality. Credit goes to the hardware again. The play back interface is a bit clumsy and which buttons work for what is not mentioned in the manual even! Pls remember that I and O work as + & - for volume and * works for switchinf to and from the Full-Screen mode while playing Audio/Video.nnCamera:nPerhaps the weakest part of this handset is its camera. Pls don't expect carl-Zeiss quality or anything nearby but for occassional shots, its ok to have this set handy for casual photography.nnOverall:nIf you don't expect for a blackberry at 3K, don't hesitate to buy this handset. For those who needs a finishing touch of the review, here are the Pros and Cons.nPros: Build Quality, Responsiveness, Audio/Video playback, Dual-SIM functionality, WiFi, JavanCons: CamerannFor this price I'll give 7.5/10 to this handset.
