Hi , nnThe Main reason I purchased this Mobile was because I use Dual Sim Phones and was in need of a Dual Sim Touch Screen Android Mobile. nnI purchased this Mobile 2 weeks back and frankly am disappointed because if I had waited another week , I could have got Spice MI350 which is dual sim , has 3.5 Inch Screen and most important has 3G and Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS. First things first , Screen resolution and clarity is good , on a normal 2g sim card , you will get speeds of around 50-85 kbps and 150-180 kbps max. Internet Surfing is quite good and only problem is when you access you tube , it takes a long time to stream the full video. Facebook also takes time and hangs and you have to reload the page again. Android Market apps downloading is quick and does not take much time. Camera Clarity not that great. Video resolution is pretty good with decent volume and sound effect and excellent Clarity. Cons are that the phone sometimes has a tendency to hang and call neither gets connected nor gets cut which is a headache. nnOverall my rating is 3 out of 5.

Ordered this phone from flipkart and reached within `the specified time...Really fast and amazing delivery by flipkart.Coming to the phone; the Spice Mi- 270 comes bundled with Android 2.2 OS (FROYO.II also has a built in GPS for navigation purposes, an e-compass, wifi, GPRS (EDGE) only.Doesn't support 3G.It does have a notification LED which can emit Red, Green and blue lights.I have customized the LED with a minor tool app from android market.Screen is a bit laggy coz of its resistive nature.It also has a stylus for tOuch input.Phone exterior is plastic and the phone doesn't feel much solid in hand.The metallic coating on its sides makes it a bit slippery.Call sound quality is excellent...Standard headphones that are provided with this phone aren't really good.But shelling out some extra cost and purchasing some good quality earphones is certainly not going to disappoint you..The phone also has an audio equalizer setting which enhances the sound to a considerable extent.Battery backup is nice (BETTER THAN MY SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE). Applications on this phone can be installed on the SD CARD.Also retains n/w in poor signal areas...OVERALL IT IS A NICE PHONE TO PURCHASE AND BELIEVE ME, ITZ A GREAT DEAL..I PURCHASED 3 PIECES OF THIS GADGET RECENTLY.

Have been using this for 4 months now. I would say it is what we can expect in this price range.nFirst i will talk about the software. Android and its features are really god, with all the apps from android market. It has apps for almost everything. I use apps for reminders, takin notes, sketching, expense managing, facebook, maps, pdf viewing, office document viewing, comic books, chess, sudoku etc. The sync option native to android is really great. Makes sure all your contacts, calendar events, reminders etc. are safe in ur gmail account. This makes it convenient to sync with other calendars in a variety of devices. It has a kind of push email also. Dual sim management is also good. Dual standby makes sure u can receive calls and msgs in any of the sims anytime except when u r in a call in one of the sims. at that time the person who calls to the other sim will get a "switched off" msg. that's not a big issue though. you can use gprs in either of the sims. you can specify which sim to use by default.nNow the hardware part. As expected from any low end, cheap phone. Its totally disappointing. The screen is not very responsive. Lags a lot. Battery is below average, drains very fast. Wen the gprs, gps, wifi etc are all switched OFF and make NO calls or msgs, the battery will stay for a maximum of 3 days. for regular use WITHOUT gprs, gps, wifi etc. the battery will stay for 35-40 hours max. I plug the phone to a charger whenever i want to use the gprs or sync with the google server because that drains the batter like hell.The GPS system is VERY slow. GPRS too is very slow. Opening the images gallery takes an eternity. Camera quality is very poor. and quite different from the images shown the phone looks total crap, especially the white one with the BIG BLACK "S" printed on the back(which i have :( ) Sound quality is very poor. Music with headphones is good, but in call sound quality with both the speakers and the headfons are poor, so i guess its partially because of the low signal capacity of the antennas. Facebook app keeps hanging and crashing because of the very low RAM, and same thing happens for the maps app too. Phone lags and stutters a lot probably cause of the low quality processor and ram. Eventhough the numbers are 600mhz and 256mb, the quality matters as it is evident from this case.nSo for a beginner who just wanna show off a touch screen android dual sim phone, u can buy this. But dont expect to use the more advanced stuff like gps, push email or video playback etc. Thos who want a real smartphone, you will have to spend atleast 7k and NEVER EVER go for cheap china companies like this. If you want smartphones, buy NOKIA, SAMSUNG, HTC, APPLE ETC. they are worth the money
