I purchased the slim and sleek samsung camera hone ( CDMA) with tata sim card from worli mobile stores at rs. 5000/- with free sim and a gift. I find it is value for money. it is also very lightweight. Call rates of atata are very cheap with 49 paise /minutein mumbai/maharashtra any mobile phone and 39/19 paisa for a tata phone and rs. 1, 00 perminute for landline calls in mumbai/ maharashtra goa. I really find that the world has come very close. the sim gives incoming validity from tata for 1 year and it gets extended . also there are many new offes almost every day on recharge coupons. for eg. recharge with rs. 1000/ get rs, 1200 talktime. nowdays u can directly recharge without voucher. my only grumble is that tata keep on changing rate structre. however the plan will remain in force for atlleast 1 year.
The biggest plus point of the phone is extremely elegant slim sleek look though there is no provision for strap a major disadvantage.The camers is excellent. The other features are also value for money. u acn connect using cable and use internet. Memory card is there. Internet browser and brosing facility is available a great plus point.
However some points for use of contacts and address book could have been more user friendly. It does not supprt symbian.
Overall I am happy with all 3 mobile stores, sworli, tata and samsung.
Tip: tata should have a scheme for 2/4 mobile phones and a tata landline phone for the family. all the phones in the family should be free. all should be prepaidand landline/mobile all should charge on minute basis. it will greatly enable TATA to enhance the service. also some improvement in 121 customer service is needed. But customer service at tata center fort is excellent with cheerful executives ready to help u.
Also the delers say recharging with tata is difficult. tata should provide recharge through atms of axis bank/Icici bank .
