Micromax Bling 2
Although many companies have tried their hands in making cellphones for the ladies but Micromax has really raised the bar with the Bling series of mobile phones that are just for the ladies. Encrusted with Swarovski crystals and a glossy white finish, the Blink 2 looks amazingly beautiful but Micromax has decided to shed the pink highlights, which is really a wise decision. The phone looks classy and definitely is an object of attention.
The Micromax Bling 2 comes with a 2.8 inch capacitive touchscreen that aids a smoother operation. The Resolution of the screen is on the lower side but the Bling 2 compensates for it with ample colour vibrancy and image brightness.
The 600 MHz processor of Micromax Bling 2 gives all the power needed for a smooth operation and juice to support multitasking as well for the Android 2.2 Froyo operating system. It has 3 Megapixel fixed focus camera which clicks good images in daylight but the quality falls badly in the night or low light conditions.
Bling 2 has one Memory card slot which is expandable upto 16 GB, but it would be advisable to use 4 to 8 GB external memory to ensure smooth usage. It has a 3.5mm jack for headset and audio connectivity.
