    We have to be very careful when using fake mobiles from China. Never talk when charging and when there is low battery. It looks simple, but here it is very dangerous.

    Karbon is an Indian company who goes to china and picks mobile phones from OEM manufacturers and labels them it with their brand. So is many other so called Indian brand. Skin has Indian brand name in it but flesh is all Chinese made. If you guys recall even Manipal group ventured into mobile manufacturing through this way and had a logo created mimicking Nokia.
    Hope his and many other unrest souls here rest in peace.

    Nagesh, I request you to be a gentleman. Please don't believe in everything what you see and what you hear. Please use some general knowledge and gain some genuine information before you argue on any topic. If not got enough information, please don't blow your mouth like most politicians do.
    Karbonn is an Indian firm, please look into the valid info sheets available online. You can read a short note on wikipedia about Karbonn and learn the facts.

    Nagesh, I asked you to assume yourself as an example if you are following in purchasing of Indian goods and Indian culture only. Rate yourself of being a true Indian with the utilization of only Indian origin products/culture. Donot mix up the subject and make things complex.
    Getting back to political parties-Majority of politician in India are corrupt. May it be any parties. They are good to serve themselves and their family rather than the citizens. Modi and your favourite BSY is a good example for such people. INDIA needs literate people as leaders and not those who couldn't dare to talk in public.
    GOD bless INDIA from all the corrupt leaders.

    I think the mobile company should be sued/shut down/banned. Yes, partly its our responsibility to take necessary precautions, when using the phone. But at the same time it doesn't give the manufacturers right to produce faulty products, which could be life threatening like this one. May his soul RIP. This incident should be taken very seriously. This is something we can avoid.

    Never mind where the handset is made, whether China, Japan or India. Similar accidents have happened in other countries too. Never use mobile phone while plugged in for recharging.

    Dear Nagesh, I feel so pity on you that most of your comments are having majority of disagree(s). Don't you think it's time for your retirement from commenting on Daijiworld?

    I kindly advice you to imagine yourself on the subject and think-if you are following it or no. You may have to go back decades ago if you are following what you commented.
    I feel sorry for Mithun. May his soul rest in PEACE.

    High time for Mr.nagesh to change his spectacles and also his viewpoints.
    If nagesh  has seen the photo displayed clearly , the mobile is produced by KARBONN which is an Indian brand.

    I think Mr Nagesh is following the Indian culture but why he is using computer copied from Western countries. I hope he is wearing Gandhian style Kurtha lungi other than shirt pants again copied from Western countries and writing of course he is writing in English again copied .... Now what rubbish he is communicating to others. There is absolutely no sense in writing.
