Lava A9 Dual Sim Phone is a handsome instrument with an assortment of useful features and applications at an affordable price. The phone looks solid with a hard metal body and a smooth keypad which gives an elegant appearance to the phone. Lava A9 comes with a 3.2MP camera that lets you take pictures and shoot videos but the image quality is very poor and doesn't live up to the expectations of a 3.2MP camera. The zooming option is also limited and the camera is a big let down in A9. There is 64MB internal phone memory and the phone will support up to 8GB Micro SD Cards. Listening to music on this phone is not a pleasant experience on the loud speaker but the audio quality is slightly better while hearing it on the ear phone. FM reception is also not satisfactory.

Having said the above glitches in the phone, Lava A9 is otherwise an excellent phone with an impressive profile. The phone comes with both EDGE and GPRS support enabling you to connect with the internet through the pre-installed Opera Mini web browser. Nimbuzz is a refreshingly new application that comes pre-installed with Lava A9 with which you can make calls or chat with your friends over the internet sans the conventional call charges. The phone with a user friendly interface has all the features we expect including bluetooth, java games, Ebook reader, Email support, MP3/MP4 Player, etc. Apart from the usual audio and video recorder the phone also lets you record streaming FM audio in any of the three formats WAV/AWB/AMR. You can also search your contacts with phone number as the search criterion which is handy at some situations. You can also integrate the phone with your PC with the help of Lava A9 PC Suite that can be downloaded from LavaMobiles.com website. Apart from the camera and loud speaker anomalies, LAVA A9 is a good looking phone with powerful features and provides value for money.
