Freedom 251 - will you buy this

the phone, that could disrupt the booming handset market in the country.

1. Price : jaw-dropping price tag of Rs 251/-.

2. specs : a 4-inch qHD IPS display, 3.2 megapixel auto-focus rear camera, 0.3 megapixel front camera, 1.3 GHz quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB of internal storage with SD card support, 1450 mAh battery, and Android 5.1 Lollipop OS.

 

i think this phone is going to kill samsung, i phone, micromax and every player in india.

 

is it possible for Huge number supply for them all over India ? or is it only for few days offer or publicity purpose ?

 

Phone has become status symbol now...

 

Apparently the delivery is over 4 months... Launched yesterday by an unknown UP company - at the event were a few BJP minister/leaders

 

Is it scam? Looks like scam to me. Collect money and disappear. Play on greed of folks.

 

Smart phone touch screen raper cost is above Rs. 300 -400 ,
i think it is not possible to supply with this Rs. 251 price to crores of people in india
In my view very huge production cost also not possible below Rs. 800 in india
even china cheep quality producers also not imagine this price ....
if it is possible they directly export to china and other countries like USA also

in my view if they sell 1 crore cell phones in india at Rs. 251 they may get loss
around Rs. 500 cr.

my doubt is company deliver some smart phones to all over the country and create brand image and
sell next up graded versions in higher cost ....

is it look like " Tata 1 lakh car " tata nano is so many times better than " this Noida-based firm Ringing Bells.

( Ding, dong, bell,
Pussy’s in the well )

 

Looks like bogus to me.

Rs 251 Smartphone’s charger to cost 20,000

 

Apparently 600k hits a second. Servers down. Company upgrading services. Back in 24 hrs

 

Anyone fool should anticipate this. After full page ad and product like this there will be huge traffic. How they have not prepared proper website even for such traffic? I have serious doubts about this matter.

 

Dear friends, we are very grateful for your enormous response and your kind patronage and would submit that as of now we received approx. 6 Lacs hits per second as a result of your kind overwhelming response, servers are over loaded.

We humbly submit that we are therefore taking a pause and upgrading the service and will revert within or before 24 hours.

Once again our respectful thanks and gratitude for your support and patience. We look forward your return as soon as we are back online well within 24 hours.

This means co has collected Rs. 15,00,00,000 per second (Rs. 6 lakh x Rs. 250) or somewhere close to that. At least min Rs. 50-100 crore may have come in last few days. Suppose they disappear now what will happen?

 

If mallaya doesnt need to disappear despite defrauding many thousand crores they dont need to disappear too

 

Freedom 251 smartphone: The first look says it all
Badly built, tacky looks, branding issues—this is not a very smart phone

Freedom 251 is rebranded version of Adcom Ikon 4; Chinese smartphone sold under ‘Make in India’ garb?

Apart from identical looks, both the smartphones function on Android 5.1 operating system, have a 4-inch screen display, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB internal memory and powered by 1.3 GHz quad-core processor. Their user interface appears to be blatant rip-off of the Iphone.

Point is there that so many scams and there and so much money is looted and who is to answer for it. Make hay when sun shines. People are poring money for this phone and no phone will be delivered. People will also forget because it is small sum for each.

 

Its a problem of people who are lured by this gimmick.

Freedom 251 – World’s Cheapest Smartphone becomes the butt of jokes, memes and one-liners!

Here are some of the funny tweets on Ringing Bells phone Freedom 251, especially after the website crash. Have a good laugh!

 

Freedom 251 is a SCAM? Beware before placing your order on freedom251.com!

"Indian Cellular Association has complained to Telecom Ministry to look into depth on claims made by company (Ringing Bell). Indian Cellular Association says minimum price for 3G phone is Rs 2700."

 

When an ordinary smart phone's screen guard is sold for Rs.100/- ... A phone for 251/- ... Its absolute crap & insane ... Irony is, a renowned politician was made a fool ...

 

Its smart business guyz...

1. Launch a smartphone in 250 and say that its a Make in India initiative
2. Get free media attention and feature in BBC & India today
3. Create a website and take pre bookings for phone to be delivered after 4-6 months. Get in excess of 150+ crores for lakhs of booking
4. Deposit 150+ crores in bank/short term FD and earn interest @ 4% / 6% post tax deduction.(6 to 9 crs approx.)
5. Return 150+ crore to customers as you are unable to deliver phones and apologize. GO backpacking throughout the world with interest earned

 

Good scheme for committing fraud on unknowing people. Not even fraud as per laws because full money is returned. Interest is earned from bank which can be kept without law contravention being there. How some people are able to even think of such schemes has to be appreciated because it is not possible .
