The Videocon V1580 sports a platform that operates at GSM - 900, 1800 GHz.Mr. Ajmera's Review (A business user)
No point fidgeting with a screen that poses real difficulty both while watching videos and typing on the cramped keyboard, the portability that is offered by the smaller screen seems futile against the little value it offers with respect to functionality. I primarily rely on phone for emails and calls which are extremely frequent; so such a meagre battery really doesn't cut it for me. Not an hour goes by without my phone ringing, that's why I always go for something like the Videocon V1580 that has all the advanced features to ease the communication. Although I am not so much into file sharing via Bluetooth as I am more of an email guy, but it is quite essential for hands-free calling.Mrs. Iyer's Review (A homemaker)
I hate typing messages on the Videocon V1580 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 Videocon V1580 sports other excellent features and fairly makes up. I will need to delete or transfer photos every week if I choose this Videocon V1580 with its small storage space. The expandable memory of the Videocon V1580 is a good option for me as against the high priced smartphones which come with high internal memory.Ishan's Review (A geek)
The 3.2 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. I can't deal with battery warning just within a couple of hours into my gaming session; the Videocon V1580 is quite frustrating in this matter.Technical Specification

Prachi's Review (A social butterfly)
The first thing I noticed in the Videocon V1580 was its 3.2 inches display. The screen size of the Videocon V1580 is too cramped and so I can't text that easily on this screen size. The Yes, 2 MP camera resolution is not that cool. You can easily opt for any other smartphone with a better camera, it might even be cheaper. I don't think this smartphone can click awesome pictures, which by the way is my favourite hobby. I'd like my smartphone to do all my tasks simultaneously not just perform basic functions like browsing, messaging and emails. And I won't depend upon 2G networks for that. The USB connector lets me charge my phone even with my laptop and transfer files. The small 1 GB internal storage of the Videocon V1580 feels quite miserly. I don't understand the use of this storage if it can't contain all my media files.
