Idea ID 280 Review

Welcome the new phone on the block - ID 280 from Idea. Equipped with all that it takes to deem it a smartphone, entry level though, the Idea ID 280 features an extensive list of pre-installed apps that can keep you going for hours. Albeit the Idea ID 280 technical specification does not keep up with the latest technology and fad, the device is rich in features barely crossing that thin line that demarcates a smartphone from a simple mobile phone.

Popularly known for coming up with innovative ideas, Idea has one for this phone too, and a delightful one at that. Sporting an impressive Idea ID 280 price in India is just one part of the deal. Packing it with additional 3G benefits worth Rs.3,500 is an eye-popping offer. If the Idea ID 280 price in India stands at Rs.5799 and you take away the 3.5k worth of freebies, you end up with a very low Idea ID 280 price in India of Rs.2299! A smartphone for just a few thousand bucks? It's true, but do read the Idea ID 280 review to see if it makes for a worthy buy or not.

With due respect to its uncomplicated design, there isn't much to show off here. Weighing around 100g in a simple black outfit, this bar shaped device is well-equipped to address all your social, professional and entertainment needs. Neither too heavy nor too light it is palm and pocket friendly. Drawing from a Idea ID 280 review, the Idea ID 280 features a 2.8-inch TFT capacitive touchscreen with all the buttons and keys neatly arranged around the phone.

The screen displays images at a decent resolution of 240*320 pixels. Further, the Idea ID 280 features a 3.2MP with geo-tagging, self-timer and white balance producing some crisp shots on-the-go. You can also record video at 15fps. Before going into the Idea ID 280 technical specification, we'd like to inform you not to set any great expectations in this area.

Summing up the Idea ID 280 review, if you take into account the Idea ID 280 price in India alone and weigh it against its features and capabilities as also similar products, you will conclude that the Idea ID 280 plus 3G benefits is not a bad deal, after all!
