OUR VERDICT

Hmmm.. Its quite difficult to judge ...

But in my opinion .. Go for nokia c3.. or wait till you have some more bucks to buy an android.. (stop spending much on video games and beer !! )

C3 look is somehow getting trendy !! when you have it in your hand , you feel like having something...
however nokia's OS messes the fun.. No youtube !! Aw !!

Now moving to Samsung CH@T fones one this you notice that they are budget friendly.. you dont have to spend much on that kinda fones...

having WI-FI @ 5500 is amazing...

For those who dont want to compromise with comfort and style should definately go for SAMSUNG CH@T 335..

ELSE YOU SHOULD MAKE SOME MORE BUCKS TO BUY AN ANDROID...

STAY WITH US AS WE BRING YOU SOME OF THE FINEST FONES IN INDIA !! SEE YOU NEXT TIME...

WAITING FOR YOUR COMMENTS..
