Hi Ashwini,
Been reading your reviews .. very good work.
Need your suggestion / advice..
Been waiting for past 2 mths for Samsung Galaxy Gio launch in India. Do you have any update to share. I find Gio specs & price (likely) to be the best currently. Can wait for another month.
Or should I go ahead & get LG Optimus 1.
What do you recommend?
Thanks.
Samsung mobiles are just waste of money… no use in buying that
This is not true.Yeah its battery sucks at some models but it also is amongst a class apart androids.
