Detailed Review
Display
This Micromax GC222 bids sharp picture quality with its LCD display for an amazing viewing experience. It would be a tad difficult to stick with the phone as its display size falls below 2.5 inches despite the portability.

For heavy users, a glitch in the battery department appears as the phone only bids 4 hours of talk time on 2G network. The standby time offered is nearly 170 hrs on 2G network.Camera
The kind of pictures and videos your camera produces does not depend only on megapixels. Based on the sensor quality and the smartphone's other applications; you have the flexibility to get surprisingly good photography results even with a Yes, 0.3 megapixels camera. Equally savourable it might be to click pictures, video recording is equally particularly pleasing.General Features

Nothing much to boast about, but atleast you get a decent expandable memory of 4 GB as against the tiny internal storage.

A small device like this might neatly fit in my pockets, but that's all it can and nothing much with the cramped screen size of 1.8 inches. I more than often go for efficient devices like the as it present me with a robust call management; as I am hardly ever off my phone. Bluetooth in my smartphone is essential more for hands-free calling than file sharing.Mrs. Iyer's Review (A homemaker)
I hate typing messages on the Micromax GC222 with its tiny keypad as I misspell a single word more than 3 times. Video recording is fun and lets me record all beautiful memories of birthday parties and the energy and excitement of a house party. A smartphone without a good camera is really not my choice, even if the Micromax GC222 sports other excellent features and fairly makes up. I will need to delete or transfer photos every week if I choose this Micromax GC222 with its small storage space. The expandable memory of the Micromax GC222 is a good option for me as against the high priced smartphones which come with high internal memory.Ishan's Review (A geek)
The 1.8 inch display may be quite decent for a smartphone but I don't like it for my reading or gaming purpose. Smartphone storage with such low capacity even for basic apps and programs is really irrelevant. If you have gaming and ebook library as huge as mine, you can never say no to an extendable memory storage.Technical Specification

Prachi's Review (A social butterfly)
The 1.8 inches display of the Micromax GC222 was the first thing that grabbed my attention. I prefer texting over talking but this screen size is way too cramped to do that easily. It's not that amazing to own a smartphone with Yes, 0.3 MP camera resolution. There are cheaper options available that too with better camera resolution. I click hundreds of cool pics with my smartphone and don't think the pictures will be so cool with this phone. I don't worry charging when I can charge my phone with the laptop; I can even transfer files with this. The 5.9E-5 GB internal storage is really very less. If it can't save all my files then what good is it.
