What lured me to buy MICROMAX Q5 fb
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.
