The interface is very good and the icons are uber cool and stylish.The color effects are great too.The auto focus camera easy and efficient browsing and the incomparable Wi-Fi make the curve 8900 one of the smartest phones in the market if not the best.If at all there is a let down it is the absence of 3G.It comes in three alternatives namely Vodafone , Airtel and Reliance.

Coming to the product specifications it weighs 110 grams,the size is 109x60x13.5 mm.The memory capacity is 120 MB.The talk time duration is less than 6 hours.It is Blue tooth and Wi-Fi enabled.

Priced at INR 30000 its a decent buy and great value for money.

The competition has gotten very tough out there as each provider compete for more of the market share. As our technology grows the easier it will be for more people to own a cell phone. I remember when the industry first started and the phones cost thousands of dollars. Now it’s a different story as the providers are willing to give you a choice between 2-3 models of cell phone that you will pay nothing for as long as you sign a two year contract with them. As for the other models that are offered, they range in price from $50 – $300.

Now there’s even more competition out there and most people are not even aware of it. It’s called Let’sTalk.com where you can choose not only the provider of the cell phone, but also an array of other choices. The thing about the site is that no matter what phone you choose, you will get the phone for free. That’s right, FREE.

You can select from phones that have cameras, blue tooth capable, MP3 and so much more. I haven’t figured out exactly how they are able to give away phone that normally costs the consumer $100 or more, for free.

A friend of mine was the one who told me about the site and has taken advantage of the program. He went on the site and selected his provider (one of the best ones for the area we live in), then choose the type of plan he wanted. After a few more selections of the features he wanted in the phone, they gave him a list to pick from.

If you have plan that you were thinking about upgrading from with one of the four providers that work with Let’sTalk, then you will be getting a better discount on the phone than if you went through the provider directly.

The company seems to be pretty legit and from what I can see it’s not a scam. So you might want to give them a try.
