Ritesh, 17 Mar 2011Hi Abhi,
I have read your comments and I feel you have good knowledge about SE mobiles.
I'm ... moreDon't ever go for yendo or x2. Both phones r having problems.
Yendo faces slow operation and hangup issues and also doesn't have basic features of operating system, while x2 has poor camera quality, poor battery life, hanging issues, switching off randomly type of issues.
In x2 the benefit is that it's loudspeaker has good loudness but cedar's loudspeaker has very low loudness.
While in x2 volume in headphones is very low while cedar's volume in headphones is good.
Other than loudspeaker loudness cedar beats down every other phone in this price range.
Things which u will not get in x2 while they r in cedar -> Multitasking, 280 mb internal memory, really smooth & fast user interface, 3G HSDPA 7.2 mbps, preloaded google maps-youtube-facebook-twitter-myspace-barcode scanner applications, better sound quality, very good battery life, cedar will never hang or switch off and there r many other things which u will only find in cedar.
