But, these things were not enough to get more market shares because people desire a great value along with best computing experience.
Limp has said that handset has been wrongly priced and it has mismatched with the expectations of consumers. Peeking on Amazon's website, where customers have written a myriad of complaints in the reviews of mobile phone such as a lack of apps, overheating and poor battery. At this place, he has also added in his statement that they are moving forward with their plans to develop and release revamped versions of phones alongside new software features to fulfill the demand of masses.
