Choosing a CDMA operator for low call costs is fine. But if you are seriously unhappy about the handsets you are restricted to choose from, Samsung launched Samsung Max, the first open market CDMA handset in India.

“The availability of CDMA phones in the open market will provide Indian consumers freedom to choose network operator’s of their choice,” said Hyundai Kim, Vice President and Head – CDMA Division, Samsung Telecommunications India.

So you can not only choose to upgrade to the Samsung Max, availability of the handset in the open market will empower you to choose the operator too!

The Max is a slider multimedia phone that includes customised “Indian” features such as an Indian Calendar, a ‘panchang’, mobile prayer, a Cricket scorer and Hinglish SMS.

    Hi does this phone support setting mp3 files as ring tones which are stored in the memory card,

    the previous handset samsung explorer did not support setting mp3 as ringtones, we would only download the mp3 files from tata zone and set it as ringtone

    so is it possible to set mp3 files as ringtones in this phone.

  • Chirag

    even i am looking out for this same function…u can upgrade the Samsung Explore model…from any of the Samsung Service Stations…
    though the volume from those MP3 files will be low..(but normal inbuilt tones’ volume remains the same)….
    but even i want to know about same problem …whether or not I can set MP3 files as ringtones or not…. ??

    the samsung max is a good phone. i remember purchasing it back in December 2008!! it is good for a CDMA phone but not good as a conventional one!! i like the idea of bringing new age theme into the cdma phone with its brand new masterpiece – the samsung max of course!! but what i don’t like it is that it is a bit slow now, 1 1/2 years have gone by……anyways, i hope for the best!!
