admin — Mon, 24 May 2010 04:43:40 +0000

I bought an Intex IN 4470 last week and after using it 4-5 days , I feel that Its the good time to write my review and to tell what is best in this mobile. First Lets talk about the Good things.

It is the cheapest mobile and that was the main reason I bought it. I’m a hardcore Nokia User , Although I’ve tried Samsung and Sony Ericsson mobiles in the past , But Nokia is the best. Well , but since Intex is offering so much at so less cost, I decided to Give it a try.

Well , So we Bought Intex IN 4470. The printed price is 3900 INR , I got it at 3100 year in Ludhiana (punjab) with 1 year warranty.

Pros –

Dual Sim – I’ve only one Sim , So can’t say more
Dual Camera – You can click picture on both sides, I don’t know exact specifications but clarity is good.
Expandable Memory – Company claims it to be of 8 Gb , I’m using only 2 Gb memory card
They have Bluetooth , FM radio and other things, I’ve tested them
Battery Life is good – In Normal usage ,A full charged mobile can last for 2-3 days

Cons –

Well I find more cons than Pros.

High Volume – The biggest thing I didn’t liked about the mobile is its big speakers. Even at the lowest settings the volume of songs or ring tones is too high that it becomes a noise and painful for years.

Weird Battery Charging – Well this is the weirdest thing I’ve seen in this mobile. The charging stops of its own, if a miss call or a message comes to your mobile and it will start only if you read the message of see from where you got the miss call.
Slow Processing time – Processing time is very high. You’ve to wait for 10-15 seconds for a mobile to play song.
