I think chinese mobiles are worth buying as they are cheap and more over i dont think that they would have problmes that much soon and also if a $100 handset stops working after 7-8 month i think it would be okay.

From my side you know the reputation of Chinese good. Like my brother have a Nokia handset whose charger is made in China and within 3 months its charger stopped working. Now you can see if this is with the reputable company products then what would be with non branded companies.

As someone said in the thread, as long as the product is from a reputed phone manufacturer, "Made in China" does not matter. In any case, all major manufacturing takes place in China. On the other hand: cheap = poor quality.

My mottos:

a) When you buy quality you will cry once only
b) When you shell out peanuts, you get monkeys

I certainly don't think that these phones are worth buying....
Although they are cheap but no-one can comment for their quality..

So what you say are they worth?
they are worth as i am using it for last 3 months and working fine.

Features better then nokia or sony.

moreover repairing cost is only Rs 300 /- and if display isnt working, they change for Rs 800 /- What else do you want.

Even if you go for nokia grey market , no one can guarantee.

Please note : I am a Nokia hardcore. I am using nokia handsets for last 6 years (multiple models)

Of course it is worth buying only if you know that you are dealing with a reliable source and not fake. I have had to buy once a chinese cell phone, brand unknown, it work for perfectly fine for more than a year and I had resold it too!

I would soon be getting myself a chinese made iPhone clone. I saw this cell phone in a local market and it was almost exact copy of iPhone and it is available for just 4,800 rupees.
