  • I bought this phone with a high ambition to fulfill my wish But strange to comment that, such a company selling products and never think of post service. Battery is a major issue with this phone. After 3 months of purchase my battery got swelled up and battery not available. I have thrown away the phone. Company should be shut down immediately. Wastage of money.

  • Phone is god BUT NOW I STARTED HATING THE BRAND SPICE. They sell the phone but they do not have battery for the phone. I am sick of sending emails and calling them. They say they cannot help me. I asked them to refund money for my phone which is absolutely working fine but without battery is just a failed device in a drawer. First the company could not handle SPICE telecom and so it was brought by Idea Cellular. Now the company is selling mobile phones. Later another company will take over and the handsets will no longer be supported. Cheap company. Bad service.

  • I bought this phone 4 months ago online in the first week of launch. It was awesome until last month when it just did not start. I went to the Bangalore authorized service center and they took the phone and asked me to contact after two days. I called them and they said the phone is being sent to head office and will take 15-20 days for me to receive it; I had no choice than to wait and called back after 15 days. They told it may take a week more, I keep calling them every 3 days and it�s been a month now. Still waiting...:( The phone is good but the support is just driving me crazy.

  • how to use 3G connection?

  • thanks man, that helps alot by taking screenshot. but the pay really sux. :| I hate QWERTY

  • And how do you reach that Keyboard Setting. I didn't see this Keyboard setting anywhere

  • @gabby: You can change the setting in the keyboard setting, - in portrait mode there are 2 options : normal & qwerty - in landscape mode only Qwerty screenshoot in ICS/JB = press power & volume down at the same time, and hold them for 3 seconds..

  • how am update softwear

  • Friends, Read this review very carefully and believe me I have tried to be unbiassed : I purchased this phone on the day of launch and I was impressed that it had the dual-core CPU, a 512MB RAM, a big screen, dual sim. I liked the look but after using this is my honest feedbac: 1. While using internet on SIM2, I missed almost 9 out of 10 incoming voice calls on SIM1. I think this is the biggest draw back of this phone. 2. FM reception is very very poor. It searches the station everytime even if you have saved it. 3. Launcher hang problem: Even though its a dual core cpu phone, performance is sluggish. Some times laucher gets hanged 4. No pc sync with software - only content copying to SD Card. 5. No updates/ upgrades - on air or off air. So, concusion is : even though desi players like Micromax, Spice or Karbonn are lauching phones with large screens and multicore CPUs, these are just rebranded Chinese phones. Yes, if you wish to enjoy latest Android versions, and cant by devices like Samsung, then go for them. Else, little shitty things.

  • hi guys I just want to ask if the keypad can be turn in to 3x4? Im not a big fan of QWERTY :| and how to make screenshot?

  • This phone is actually nice but the internet connection via 3G or network is slow.

  • Hey friends i am using this phone for last 3 months,n i fell this is awesome at this price,processing speed is great,response time for every thing is perfect. Yes this is 3g n am using it. Not available now at any place. The new version of this phone is Spice mi 495 with 8 megapixel cam,and high resolution pixel density.

  • no battert pack up guess on this phone

  • I bought this phone a week ago now. So, I decided to make an review about this phone. So I will mixed my review to good and bad experience. �I can play HD game and online game with no lag(but still currently having a problem with internet connection). �Loudspeaker while listening music is great - But for earphone it dont like im having a sound problem when I tried to use different and better quality of earphone. �Battery Life - As of now, since I bought it im very happy of it because it can long last atleast 6hrs online gaming. I wanted to try the normal usage but for now I cant coz Im enjoying playing an online game, but I believe it can long last up to 2-3days\ �While on call - doesnt great, the quality of the earpiece of the speaker..doesnt that great. �Camera - I dont mind this really. �Texting - I dont like it.because im not a big liker of QWERTY pad. This is my review for now, I'm going to Root my phone. To improve it. Then I will update my review. Im on rush though so im sorry. Im still at the office. Hoping this will help to those people who wanted to buy this phone. this is a great phone with a low price I swear, But dont expect anything in over all performance.

  • call on *#36# u get proximity sensor

  • Is it has led notification light

  • check the "internal storage" space availability, there should be enough storage available in RAM to download apps I guess, to check this go to settings> storage > total storage.

  • I have used many variety of brand. But spice comes with many problems. I have used spice phone earlier. Then also there was a problem. But now its comes with vast problems. I bought a spice stellar mi-425 on 11.10.2012. But the phone was not working from 21.10.2012.I submitted my phone in service center on 25.10.2012. Today I am standing on 27th day from when the day the phone was dead. still my phone is in service center. As per the job sheet 21 days is the maximum limit a customer should wait. From the day I bought the phone, more than using, it was kept due to the defect. The service of spice provided to the customer is very pathetic. As per the general customer I suggested to the new customer don't switch to spice.

  • Today I face a problem in this phone M using vodafone nd my data connection off in minutes automatic.. I don't know yyy I m facig this anyone help me

  • What a phone is this I suprised never ever hangs .what ever app you run

  • You will have to edit System/build.prop file

  • Just root the device and change display model and ID to whatever you like instead of Spice Mi-500. I changed mine to Galaxy Note N7000. That way you can easily connect to Exchange. Spice Guys can't do this because rooting voids warranty and officially they can not change the brand name w.o management consent.

  • where is the task manager of this phone??? there is any kind of cheat code in vodafone with this phone for using 3G network in 2G plan?? this feature is applicabe for some other phone.. bt i dont know ki this phone is ok with ir or not??

  • excellent phone. Love it.

  • Hi I purchased this phone on 8th oct.working fine .Thanks to spice.How to use Navigation and any thing to pay for using A-GPS support? Can u explain please

  • Phone does support Adobe Flash Player. Its just that Adobe decided to delist app from Google Play as technology is moving towards HTML 5.0 If you want to install Flash on Mi-500, download APK file from internet for Adobe Flash Player 11 and save to sd card. Download File Manager and then install thru.

  • No adobe flash player, no java but u can use desktop modem.

  • plzz tell me there is any option in this phone for using 2G and 3G network atthe same timeee

  • what does 2g\3g option meean ? is it avlbl in nokia umia 710 ? i have confusion between these 2 phones .. pls help.

  • Phone is good, but worthless as you cannot connect to Exchange for all your contacts, email. Only other app that works with exchange is moxier mail pay another Rs 2000. But as you cannot create and exchange account all your. This is useless for business needs. I also contacted support they were clueless. They have created a device id with "-" and " " and which gets rejected by exchange. They do not know how to change as well.

Please let meknow if this problem is faced in Spice M 500. Also how does M 500 compare with Samsung S Duos? Thanks Indraneel

  • how much RAM is free its showing when no apps r running?

  • ultimate phone.....superb i was waiting for this phone from past 5 months and now its in my hand only for 12500rs i have apple 4, other android phones but this phone is super fast than that not only fast dam chip most important thing is battery life of phone for normal usages it last for 2 days and if you are hardcore gamer then from morning to night it will give you super back up, amazing charging time only 75min from 5 to 100 for such a large 2400Mah battery . camera is ok but you can improve that quality by Camera FV-5 software in the market . default player cant play 720 p video but Mx player will play any type of video smoothly so dont worry at all. i have checked almost lots of application but in my test phone never hang or restarted at all. maim important thing is lot of such phone heats but it doesnt...so i think no 1 phone of the year......

  • anybody pls. tell me about PC suite?

  • bought on dusshehra i'm totally satisfied with the phone. no issues whatsoever surfing , games , & multitasking are flawless. anybody who is thinking 2 buy just go 4 it....

  • 2gb

  • no it doesn't support 3g calling.

  • I bought this phone a few weeks back and overall I am quite satisfied with this phone. The camera quality is quite good,gives crisp pictures and videos for a 5 MP sensor. It comes with Android 4 ICS preinstalled with a host of free as well as paid apps like NQ Mobile Security Antivirus,TOI,Nimbuzz,GMAIL,Google Maps,a document viewer etc. The RAM is 512 MB,which means you cannot run 10-20 applications simultaneously,but enough for all those things that you might want to do in a mobile. The screen is good,resolution is nice,comes with a scratch guard,although I would have been happier with a gorilla glass,but then again the mobile comes for 12.5K only and not some 20-30K.I can always change the scratch-guard film if I wish to.The objects are easily visible in bright sunlight,the mobile automatically adjusts to the light. I am using Vodafone 3G/personal wifi with this phone and youtube or any other internet based application runs butter-smooth,with out any freeze or glitch.I have ran 720p videos in this mobile as well using VLC Player that I had installed,and it ran without any framing issues. I can use this mobile easily for USB tethering/wifi hotspot and use the 3G connection in my mobile to provide connectivity to my laptop which runs on Ubuntu linux.Speed is simply awesome. Sensors..G sensor is a little sluggish,rest are all fine. Build quality is much much better than its predecessor,Mi-425,which had a chrome finish over plastic.This one has a metallic bracket kind of thing,that one can see in an iPhone.The phone feels quite solid in hand,a little heavy though.One will have difficulty to use it with one hand if he has smaller hands,considering the fact that it is a 5 inch mobile phone. My day to day activities with this mobile involve listening to music,net surfing,reading pdf,news,using apps for banking/share-trading,taking casual snapshots,emails,watching videos etc etc.This phone has greatly reduced the time I used to spend sitting infront of my laptop. All-in-all I am quite satisfied with this mobile.My brother is having a Samsung Galaxy S2 and there is absolutely nothing that my Mi-500 cannot do and the S2 does,at a much lower cost. Someone might argue that S2 has 8MP camera,but being into digital photography for quite some time,I know that the difference is negligible.Pixel count expressed in terms of Megapixel varies as a square function.The difference between a picture from a 5MP camera and that from a 8 MP camera will be barely noticeable to human eye,especially a picture from a mobile phone camera,not talking about DSLRs here... This mobile phone is a good bang for your buck,good product from spice....

  • Guys, I have bought this phone 10 days back and i am using it regularly. Except camera, every other feature is superb. Internet Browing, Touch system, Sound System, Battery Backup everything is good. Camera is the only thing which is a problem where you don't get that much quality pictures. Except that aspect this is an awesome one in this price band.

  • Thnks budy

  • Hi Can any one confirm is this phone support 3g video call and also skype video chat both. As I want to buy this phone..

  • hello Gsm arena, Internal Memory is 2.07GB in which 503MB is application is installable.you can move it to phone memory.....

  • Max brightness is too low. Upon scrolling up and down lagging is clearly seen.

  • The camera quality is very very bad. It's quite slippery. Rest everything is good

  • This phone is awesome as it has live video calling which is not available in Micromax A100 & A90 its very good and then battery back up is also good. apart all its very good looking phone with 1GHZ + 1GHz dual processor. No one can compete it in this price band..

  • Is anyone who has used dis phne facing any issue wid 512 MB RAM???

  • i am going to purchase this phone before durga puja .i have only just two question .i read the review of ,"Konka W990" which is same and there is two issue of battery. 1>how the audio quality and the ringer(loud speaker) volume? 2>is there any issue of battery backup ? thanks

  • Wi-fi is not working on 802.11 g network

  • guys, just forgot it cos it has a ram of 512mb whitch is not sufficient for any user of this mobile in this price tag. on the other way if you know or hear about micromax A90 & A100 then these both are the batter option for all of you. just search in google for both phone's. good luck guy's.
