Yesterday, Spice Mobile launched dual-mode handsets, the D-88 and the D-80 that supports both GSM as well CDMA based mobile connections.
The innovative feature about the new D-88 phone is that it supports GSM and CDMA active connections at the same time. On the other hand the D-80 supports two GSM active connections. Thus, this phone is suitable for travelers operating in the local area.
“The new phone is targeted to all who have two cell phone numbers and have been looking for a convenience of carrying just one phone, we are targetting mainly the consumers of town and rural areas. By 2010, our target in the market share will surge to 10 per cent,” Kunal Ahooja CEO, Spice Mobile Ltd.
Spice has also announced to launch a “people’s phone†to cost less than Rs 1,000. Spice would start manufacturing these low-cost handsets by 2008.
The D-80 handset will be available in the Indian market at Rs. 9,849/-, while the price of the D-88 has not been announced yet.

This reply is for all of you. Spice d88 is available in Bangalore and other major cities. Phone is working fine. No worry. No known sales centers in Kerala. Service person contact number for Kochi is 9447175191. This is an average phone. Dont expect all the functions of a PDA phone. Price is from 9050 and tax 330. The only prime speciality of the phone is that it can hold two SIMs make both lines available simultaneously. MRP of the phone is 9848 but no need to pay that much. This is an ordinary BAR phone. Those who want more style and the day’s latest features may not go for it. It is meant for people who are inevitably compelled to use two lines in different handsets. D88 is for those having reliance/tata and any other GSM and D80 for those who have two GSM connections. My answer is clear.
I want to buy a D80 in pune
Where I can see a demo?
Where can I buy it?
By when D88 is expected to hit the market?
What will be other features of D88?
Hoping for a quick answer.

Hi,
I tried to buy D88 at Chennai and could not find one. The shopwallahs say it has some display problems and they withdrew it. Any truth in it?
In Kerala, they were planning to launch by the end of September but its launch has been delayed now. Latest information is that it will be launched in the third week of October. ie. this week.
Eagerly waiting…
Cheers…

I have purchased the phone yesterday. I am observing a strange issue. When I open phonebook, it shows all the entries in the phone.
But when I select a letter, it does not show all the entries corresponding to the letter available in the phonebook but just a limited number of entries. I donot know on what basis does it select the entries.
Have anyone of you faced this issue?
I have purchased the phone yesterday D-88, the piece is good slim and light weight. Battery is ok. we have got 2 battries. Camera quality is not upto the mark( quality not good, not clear visible) only in daylight means in sunlight the picutres are clear, but in office or home light is reuired to get the clear picture.
FM not availble, connectivity of GPRS and CDMA not possible, it says that the software failure in the modem.
If you want to save a extra no to a existing name which is already in the phone book, you cannot add to the contacts from the cell, the nos. may be in missed calls, received calls or dailed calls or from the message, it will create a new contact name instead. in other cells you can add to the contact easliy. You have to mug up the no and then go the phone book memory to add the nos.
CAn i get the neareast delear name or address. I stay at kandivali.
Hi,
I have Purchased D88 in this Deewali.
My set is very good.
I want to connect net through “RIM”
But my laptop ask about CD Which i havnt got.
And how to Convert any film in 3 GP Formate.
So If there is any suggestion pl give me.
Thanks
its good phone with all feature but no bluetooth and radio
Great idea. I carry TATA CDMA and Airtel GSM and it is cumbersome. I would love to have one. Prices around Rs.7300/- (very good). I hope it is smart enough to switch between networks and I do not miss my calls.
I need urgent and complete information about the features, functions, best offer prize of Spice D-88 mobile and tell me the correct method of online purchase ( with fully satisfied guarrantee/ warrantee and after sale services) of best Offer Prize.
Many criticisms arised against D88 above are not correct. Many are outcomes of ignorance. But many are true. Especially the concerns about reliance netconnect are just because manual of configuration problems. We blame a product wisely not because of our ignorance in handling that product.
first i was using four handsets.then three.now i am using d-88.after using this handset i feel happy for not using two mobiles.i ask the spice people to give some more better options in this set.
Pls send me the detail of D-88 & D-80 both
outlet information in mumbai,price and technical details pls.
Also want to the availability of Servicing centres at Mumbai.
Hi who ever it is I want to know the complete details of the spice dual phones,

Dear Sir,
I purchased your mobile D88 DUAL GSM-CDMA set in April 07. In this set i miss GPRS settings on both GSM-CDMA mode. The set does not work on both GPRS connection. For this problem i visited SPICE service center, TATA and HUTCH consumer shops. But i get hopeless. All they say that set does not work on GPRS connection. i cant send MMS to my friends and relative. Now i m searching and waiting for any dual network mobile will come in market, which will satisfy me, then i will but it.
Thank you,
Any GSM+CDMA mobile avilable all the features exept camera

Dear Sir
I have bought the D88.
Some unique difficulties.
1. No charger available at any outlet across MUMBAI (checked seven centers)
2. Head phones do not work. (Service center wants to keep the set for atleast seven days for that…are they gone bonkers)
3. MMS does not work.
4. With great difficulty managed the WAP to work. Still MMS does not work.
5. The Browser is Sick (needs to load each time we exit, cannot go to the last page / site surfed. U have to start all over again with the homepage.
Can anyone give solutions to these points. It has jeopardised my work and travelling considerably (without GPRS and MMS and Handsfree)
Please consider it urgent.
