One of the Noida based company is selling its smart phones at just Rs. 251. Rs. 40 for shipping charges extra. Its features are just like a costly smart phone, and many people are booking for it since morning. Its official site is freedom251.com.
A few years back Akash has also launched low cost tablets in India, but on booking they were delivered after months and years. Also their performance was not good.

The risk for a purchaser is just Rs. 251/-. But the company will gather very high amount. They are not likely to face litigation or strong protests from individual customers. So their risk of facing disappointed customers is also small. We need to not only look in the manufacturing cost but also the manufacturing capacity available in the factory of the company. It seems that they are just fooling.
What you write may be right but why government is supporting this project. Today I read that father of owner of this company is still running a tiny shop of grocery at Shamli village near Delhi. How this person manage all these, it is question.

Most likely it may not happen as i am sure it's a fraud scheme.
Why all these doubts ? Simply because the Smartphone is coming for a throwaway price ? Now the product is available in the market. It doesn't take a fortune to buy it and test it. What's Rs. 251 in these days ? A pittance.

Sir have you seen . do you test it yourself.
Why do you bother about others. You are going to use it and you will check. I have a Smartphone already. I don't need another. Check from your Dealer.

If it available in market before closing of booking, than what is need of advance booking.

Compared to the Bookings, the Smartphones supplied in the first phase are very less. In phase wise, the remaining phones will be supplied. That's why the bookings stopped.
According to latest news, Mohit Goel confirmed that Smartphone Freedom 251 will be supplied by all means. Goel further added that on Feb 18, Ringing bells registered 7 crores Registrations. In the first phase only 25 lakh registration are approved. The income received from the online buyers will be kept in a separate account and the organization collects that income only after the delivery of Freedom 251.
He added on every phone the organization earns a profit of Rs. 31
We are all curious to see that the manufacturer keep's his promise or not. It's reported in the newspaper that the police and I.T officials are visiting the manufacturer's office for some enquiry but, is it really required? If at all he fails to keep his promise then one can see a reason to enquire but why now.

There were some doubts and suspicions spread by the rival manufacturers. Mr. Goel, the official representative of the Smartphone manufacturing company Cleanly mentioned that his Ringing Bells will definitely supply the phones to every customer who registered his nams in the first phase. For more details you can see my previous thread.

well what i think that the other company cannot keep their cool because this company selling the phone in too cheap price and making a huge loss to the other company because if someone is selling the phone in rupees 25000 to 40000 and the same quality phone is getting sold in 251 rupees then who will buy that phone in 25000 or in 40000 rupees.

You know the middle class people will definitely give it a try and if they become satisfied then will certainly use it but it's doubtful whether the wealthy and status conscious will at all give this smartphone a try.

I am aware about the information you shared here. I have already mentioned in my previous comment about the manufacturer's viewpoint which got published in a daily newspaper today.

I too am following the news paper pertaining to the Smartphone which is creating waves. It's very normal to hear such comments when something unusual happens. These are the days when every Smartphone costs in thousands. In such scenario a revolutionary concept will make the people frown, doubt and suspect. Now with the time, all our doubts will be cleared.

Advance booking is to ensure the customer is serious in buying the product. This Advance is an affair common in all spheres of life. There is nothing to suspect or doubt.
