Reviews of Micromax mobile FB Q5

Micromax mobile, which off late is gaining wide popularity in india from its recent sponsership of IPL cricket and one day tri series in India, launched its mobile handset Q5 fb in the early months of this year. After my Sony Ericsson W700i got stolen, i was also looking to buy a new phone. But this time my main aim was buying a good phone with nice features at reasonable price. With lots of research and reading reviews of different handsets, I finally bought this mobile phone. So far I’m quite satisfied with this phone. Below are some of the points which would help other interested buyers in taking their buying call of this handset.

Micromax Q5 is a dual-SIM GSM Handset with full QWERTY keypad. It is equipped with a 2.2 Inch screen with 262 K color display and 320 x 240 pixels display resolution.

Multimedia

As this phone comes with an in-built YAMAHA AMPLIFIER, sound quality of the phone is awesome. The music player present in the Micromax Q5 is a multi format player capable of playing MP3, AMR, MIDI and WAV files. The presence of a video player also enhances its multimedia capabilities. It also has FM stereo function. Phone has a 3.5 mm jack which gives you the option of using headphones of your choice.

Connectivity

USB Port is present for easy transfer of files to/from a PC.

For wireless exchange of data, you can use its Bluetooth. It also supports A2DP .

Internet

Since this phone comes with a pre-installed opera mini browser, nimbus and face book connecting with your loved and dear ones becomes very easy for you. The only problem I faced is that while surfing the internet using OPERA mini you can not listen to music which I found very disappointing.

Push mail function is missing in the handset.
