Chinese Mobile Phones In New Delhi - Palika Bazaar & Nehru Place

Its a known fact that Palika Bazaar and Nehru Place are the places in Delhi to be for purchase of software/games/hardware. So besides Gaffar Market, these are the only other two places where reliable Chinese phones would land. Apoorv Khatreja and I recently paid both the markets a visit to explore the options for an avid Chinese mobile phone consumer. Although almost all shops stock good quality Chinese mobile phones, here are two specific ones where we came across certain good models-

Purple Computers
#92, Deepali Building
Shop #107
Nehru Place
Kalkaji
Delhi - 110019
Landmark: Opposite HSBC ATM
Phone: 011-26451352, 41617789
Mobile: 09810089548

Purple Computers is a considerably large shop in the same lane as Computer Empire. Besides Chinese Mobile Phones, they also stack a good range of webcams and other computer/mobile accessories. One of the good phones we found at Purple Computers was ZT 6191. The body was firm and stainless. There were multiple speakers with high clarity audio. There was a two megapixel camera. The phone supported Dual-Sim features. The best part - Purple Computers allows you to test the mobile phone -its features, battery and everything else- there and then. So you can be completely sure of the usability before purchase. ZT was priced at Rs.5000 and the price was bargainable.

Electronic Avenue
#28
Palika Bazar, Connaught Place
New Delhi H.O.
Delhi - 110001
Landmark: Near Delhi School of Music
Phone: 011-23320826

Electronic Avenue is right at the edge of the central circle of the underground Palika Bazaar. You can easily reach there by taking the Metro to Rajiv Chowk, from where its at walking distance. Electronic Avenue stocked a huge collection of Chines mobile phones, perhaps even the biggest in the whole Palika Bazaar. Infact, they had a whole different section of the shop alloted to Chinese mobile phones. And all (yes all) the phones in their collection supported two SIM cards. One of the best phones we came across in their collection was the ZTC T58 Dual SIM Phone. Here are some of its features-

6 Speakers for the Phone.
Dual Sim Phone .
Two Sim Work Together GSM Network.
Bluetooth.
1.3 MegaPixel Camera .
Voice Recorder.
Network 900 1800 GSM.
Mp3 Player.
Video Player.
Games.
PDA Organizer.
Touchscreen.
GPRS.

The best part - All phones supported the “Two SIMs at once” feature. This eliminated the irritating problem of switching between the SIMs everytime. The display showed the network coverage for both SIMs distinctly and separately. Besides the ZTC T58, there were a lot of other good phones in the same price range, which was around 6500 bucks. We were able to bargain the price to Rs.6000 and I’m sure they would have sold it at even lower had we been buying.
