Micromax – the brand which might be relatively new to the Indian markets as compared to its predecessors is slowly finding it’s place amongst competitors. The mobile company has maintained its development of new phones in the market and has launched Micromax M2.
According to the critics in the market, the phone is a sister concern of IPod since it claims to be a dedicated music phone and reviewers have justified it to some extent also! In other words, one can state M2 as a dual sim phone with a music bias.
Some of the key underlying features of the cell phone include – an industry leading technology – click wheel which is a mechanism similar to Iphone for navigation for touch and click; the 2 inch display which has a QGVA resolution; a VGA resolution camera.
The phone boasts of a multi format MP3/Video player which is coupled with a 2GB on board memory for storage. On the connectivity front, the phones connectivity is standard coupled with a 3.5 mm headset jack. Along with this, the gadget is accompanied with a full sized adjustable headphone and a handsfree kit too.
Since the phone`s sound output is SRS wow HD certified, the music quality is likely to be on the better edge.
The phone is governed by an 850 mAh lithium ion battery pack which ideally lasts for 1-2 days including music and calling. However, this is sans the bigger headphones.
Following are the key features which neatly describe the music phone:
Band: GSM 900/1800 MHz
Dual SIM
Dimensions: 113×44.8×10.8mm
Display: 2 inch 240×320 TFT screen with Touch wheel
Camera: 2.0 Megapixel
Multi Format Music Player with SRS WOW HD
3.5mm Jack with dome headset

GPRS/WAP/MMS
Internal Memory: 2GB
Battery: Li-ion 850mAh

However, one key feature which is likely to put the music savvy users off is that the phone does not have an upgradeable memory storage limiting its size to about 2GB on board memory.
All in all, the cell phone proves to be an ideal deal for an average buyers pocket with it’s price falling in the range of Rs 4000-4,500. I would surely call it a decent bargain in place of an Ipod. One get’s a music gadget along with a phone at an affordable rate.
