They have often been hampered by the lack of cost-effective yet quality and technologically advanced handsets that enable them to stay easily connected considering the many challenges in ensuring decent connectivity", said Mr Alpesh Patel, CEO Mi-Fone.
With this range comprising of 3 Models viz: Mi-Q+, Mi-Q1 & Mi-Q5; Mi-Fone is providing the young Indian with everything he or she needs in a QWERTY handset including Email, Instant Messaging and uploading and downloading of documents.
At the bottom end is the basic Mi-Q+ with GPRS Class 10, WAP 2.0, capacity to receive and send MMS, FM radio, a torchlight and the QWERTY keypad for faster sms.
The dual-SIM Mi-Q1 mobile phone has GPRS/WAP/MMS and MP3/Video capabilities with a memory capacity of up to 1G. Mi-Q1 is as an effective multimedia QWERTY mobile phone targeting young genertation in India.
The Mi-Q5 comes with all of the above, as well as Bluetooth, and is capable of running Java applications such as the new MI-APPS initiative which combines instant messaging and push email under and an integrated format together with social apps such as Face book, MSN, etc. It can also take a memory card giving it greater capacity and is the option of being able to run Analogue television.

After manufacturing of mobile phone batteries and chargers, MAXX Group is now all set to start handsets manufacturing in India by March 2012.
According to Ajjay Agarwal, MAXX chairman and managing director, the company will start manufacturing of handsets in India by March 2012 at its Haridwar facility located in the state of Uttarakhand.
“We are at a stage of finalization of the capital goods for the manufacturing of handsets. Initially, every month 100,000 phones will be manufactured here,” Agarwal told Cyber Media News on the sidelines of the company’s new product launch in Mumbai today.
The new series of Khamoshhh… comprise two handsets – a bar phone, MAXX MX401, and a QWERTY handset, MAXX MQ601, priced at Rs.. 2833 and Rs.. 2970 respectively.
For the handset manufacturing, the company will raise funds through internal accruals and bank loans, Agarwal informed. The handset manufacturing will start from its second unit located in the same campus in Haridwar. He added that the second unit is also based in Haridwar due to the tax benefits offered in the state of Uttarakhand.
“We are strongly focusing on developing and manufacturing technology products that are value for money to customers. Also we are strongly focusing on after-sales support to customers,” he stressed.
Presently, the group is bringing handsets to India market from China under a contractual manufacturing from a local vendor.
However, MAXX has overall strength of 3500 people here with a dedicated team of 550 people including 40 technical and engineering staffs who are involved in the mobile phone business.

The Haridwar unit has an installed capacity of making 8.8 crore units of batteries and 3.25 crore units of chargers annually.
From Rs.. 5 crore sales revenues in 2005-06, the group’s sales jumped to Rs.. 52 crore in 2007-08 as it undertook sale of accessories. Two years later, the group formed MAXX Moblink Private Limited (MMPL) for research and development as well as marketing and distributions of mobile handsets.
