IT is no secret that Ugandans are obsessed with mobile phones. Cell phones have become a status symbol.
The more sophisticated your handset is, the richer you are deemed to be. Little wonder that many people want to own phones with hi-tech features.
But what do you do when you do not have sh1.2m to buy the latest Nokia E-71 phone? Buy a V-Two mobile phone, just like hundreds are doing.
Multimedia-feature mobile phones are no longer a preserve of the rich. Anyone can get the equivalent of the latest Nokia phone — a Chinese-made V-Two, for only sh150,0000 to sh300,000.
V-Two is a genuine Chinese phone brand that makes cost-effective mobile phones marketed globally.
You have probably seen people with these V-Two mobiles. In a taxi, held up in a traffic jam, your neighbour might have flipped open his phone and began watching a football match showing on TV.
Another might pull out what looks like a sleek digital camera to take pictures, until you realise he is using a phone with a 3.2 megapixel zoom camera.
Su Jieng, a salesperson in a V-Two outlet on Kirumira Towers, says V-Two mobile phones have all the features that many people desperately needed but could not afford.
These include digital analog TV and instant internet access on a large touch-screen; still and video cameras, mp3 players, radio broadcasts, games, inbuilt memory cards and dual simcard holders.
Jessica Namusoke, a boutique saleswoman, who owns a sh350,000 V-Two D6000 phone says: “The phones are sleek and beautiful and can easily be mistaken for the more expensive Nokia. Above all, they are cheap.â€
Bob King Mwangi, a presenter on UBC TV, cannot hide his excitement. “Previously, you would buy a Chinese phone and the salesperson would not give you any warranty. The phones were also fragile and the spares rare,†he says. Mwangi owns a V-Two K608 phone.
Jieng advises shoppers to always look for V-Two phones that come with a warranty seal.
