I finally bought iPhone 5S 32 GB at Amazon for 33.5 K [cry]. It's been a couple of weeks and the initial experience is good. But still, miss many of the user friendly features of Android! Will post a detailed review soon.

it’s not the latest and greatest version of Apple’s smartphone!

Already seen four new ones since, the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s and the 6s Plus. At a time when smartphones become irrelevant and outdated quickly, does it make sense to spend so much money on a two-year-old device?

Absolutely, I am aware that it's a 2 years old model and there are much more advanced phones from the same brand. However, it's an individual choice as what one wants and when compared what are advancements / differences among those models and which are relevant, necessary and indispensable for the buyer, especially for the price! In that trade, I don't see it to make any sense to spend over 60K on a phone. Moreover, after a month of usage, I feel, even this 33K on this phone is not of that worth, baring few features. I am compiling a detailed comparison with Android in few days.

BTW, a general advice to you. It's not nice to give such a comment after someone bought the product. Though it won't affect me as I know about the products I am buying, it can affect someone else.

I'm using the "steering wheel holder", the Red-and-Black one, for many months now. May be since March 2015. It's still effective. I'd give it a rating of 4.

It holds my OnePlus One nicely. the Red elastic band needs to be wrapped around the steering and can be removed when not needed. This could extend the Holder's life, as it is not subjected to Sun light (when not in use). One negative is, my OPO blocks the console, with its huge 5.5" screen, but it is not a big bother.

Earlier, I had used 2 numbers of vacuum suction type, mounted on Windshield. The plastic in the Suction cup became brittle and broke. Fed up with those.

This is the specific reason my 1GB ram on my Lumia 830 is better than many other android with 4GB ram[:D]
Recently I gave my MS Lumia 630 to my mom. Technically speaking windows is not at all smooth. Its damn slow and the app do crash. Only good part about windows is having good camera.

Bought Mi pad and Mi redmi 2 prime lately

nitin k sir my lenovo a6000 has major software problem
it lags
reboots several times
ui is very slow
the lolipop update is worst in lenovo
suggest you to do a factory reset. If your are using clean master etc, remove those. And after all this, if it still hangs, its time to get a new handset

checks before you buy a new handset

ram should be atleast 2 gb or more
internal memory should be 16gb or more
