This is the third blog post about the mobiles I have used:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mobile 9
Ninth mobile I have used was Nokia C2-03
This was the first Dual SIM mobile I used.
This was also the first Touch Screen. Actually this had both touch screen and keypad through sliding function.
Mobile was very basic one. I will say Nokia 6030 was also better than this for display and Internet. But anyway it gave exposure to another phone over the period of use. I bought it from Ebay in September 2011 and is still being used and is in working condition. It is not used full time but still can be used. Mainly my wife uses this when we visit our Native Place for BSNL which she has pre-marriage.
Current Status:
Mobile is still there with me and can be used.
Money spent for acquiring it: About INR 4000.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mobile 10
Tenth Mobile I used was Nokia Lumia 610.
This was truly the First "Touch Screen" I used as Tablet was huge and difficulty carrying around. But this had 3.5 inch display and could be carried in pocket and was like a boon to me.
The day I ordered this phone from Ebay, the same day I dropped the Nokia N82 in recycling box at Koramangala. And that was August 2012.
Mobile is still working and I can use it but now I have got used to Dual SIM phone as I have two connections one of Airtel and other of Aircel and I need both online.
This mobile only drawback is RAM which is of 512 MB which makes it slow.
Current Status:
Mobile is still there with me and can be used.
Money spent for acquiring it: About INR 13000. Then new battery has been bought and when display was not working it was put. So additional costs of 2000. So combined costs are 15000.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mobile 11
Eleventh phone I used was Micromax Canvas 4 plus A315.
This phone was bought from Ezone store online when ICICI Bank gave me a discount voucher.
This phone was too good and I liked it. With RAM of 1GB it was quite fast. I bought in December 2014 and used it well till August 2015 when its display simply cracked. I got it repaired at Micromax store at Mumbai spending INR 4500 and was using it when in October 2016 when again its display cracked. For a few months this phone lied in cold storage and in February 2017 I got the display repaired once more at Micromax store at Bangalore by spending INR 4000. But not more than a week had passed by when the display broke once more when it simply fell down from the table.
This has been the biggest loss making phone.
I took it to Micromax store and though they had told that 1 month guarantee is there, when they saw the visible crack they told again 4000 had to be spent and then I decided to get rid of the phone by dropping it at Recycle Box at Micromax store.
Current Status:
Mobile is dropped at Micromax Store Recycle Box as scrap.Not with me anymore.
Money spent for acquiring it: About INR 14000. Then new display was put @Mumbai which cost about INR 4500. And again INR 4000. So additional costs of say 9000. So combined costs are 23000.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mobile 12
The twelfth mobile I used was Intex Aqua 3G
This mobile was bought in response to Micromax Canvas 4+ mobile glass cracking. I saw the ad on TV that this mobile was tough and tough mobile was what i wanted. And tough mobile was what I got. This mobile only drawback is RAM which is of 512 MB which makes it slow.Otherwise it is as good as any Smartphone. And I was very happy with this phone which prompted me to go for Intex Cloud Tread which is my latest phone now.
I bought it in August 2015 and has been used in between all along.
Current Status:
Mobile is still with me and can be used anytime.
Money spent for acquiring it: About INR3500. Very good value for money.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mobile 13
This mobile was Samsung Galaxy On7
When my Micromax mobile faced problem first during August 2015, I initially went for Intex Aqua 3G but somehow in the back of my mind was the desire to buy a good phone from a "famous" company. And since Nokia was out of business, I went for Samsung as I was pretty much happy with Samsung Galaxy GT-P1000 tab which I had bought. So I shortlisted the phones and one which fit my budget was Galaxy On7.
It was bought in January 2016 and now my wife is using this. But initially I was using it and had given the Micromax Canvas 4+ to my wife. When the Canvas 4+ has charging issues, I took it back and gave the Galaxy On7 to my wife after which she is using it till date.
I bought it from Flipkart and cost 12000.
Current Status:
Mobile is still with me and my wife is using this.
Money spent for acquiring it: About INR 12000. Very good value for money.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mobile 14
This is my current phone which is Intex Cloud Tread.
I am very happy with this phone and was bought when there was catastrophic failure of Micromax Canvas 4+ A315. Inspite of spending Rs 4000 and new display, the display cracked when it slipped from the table and not more than a week had passed. So I dropped Micromax phone at their Center's phone recycle box and ordered this phone Intex Cloud Tread froam Amazon.
This is very fast phone and the entire phone cost me 4000.
Current Status:
Mobile is still with me and is my current phone.
Money spent for acquiring it: About INR 4000. Very good value for money.
Intex is too good a brand. And after using Intex Aqua 3G I was confident that this phone will too work very well and so far it is not a disappointment at all.
I would like to thank Intex for giving a very good phone and Amazon for providing a platform to procure it and get me delivered.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally I would like to place a figure and all the phones have cost me INR 1,25,000 over the years since 2005 when I first bought a phone. I am regularly using mobile since 2004. Over the last 12 years Rs 125000 have been spent over phones. And this is not including the running costs which includes the Network costs paid to Mobile Operators and Wi Fi.
