| ![]() Guys I am looking to get the HTC Explorer. I really like the looks of the phone especially the back with the metal thingy. Wanted to ask if it is good buy. I have never ever used an Android. I have been using a nokia 5230 for a while. I will be getting a HTC Titan 2 in a couple of months so this will not be my primary phone. What do you guys think? P.S: They are asking for Rs.9300 for the explorer. I feel its a little on the higher side. Eh?? EDIT: I intend to keep the phone for a veryyyy long time and this will be my first HTC. Please Help.

| ![]() Yes they cover screens for dead pixel. As long as there are no hardware damages. Even if you do have them try to hide them in some way to avail your warranty :P |

Most companies have a "dead-pixel policy" which they rely on to decide whether the screen should be replaced or not. IMO they won't replace if its just one dead pixel. I believe you meant black spot on white background. If its white dot, it should be a stuck pixel. You can try some pixel repair apps on android market. Here is one example. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...cGl4ZWxmaXgiXQ.. Last edited by bhp_maniac : 14th May 2012 at 10:00. |

![]() I thought you are referring the whole back panel. Even I am not sure if the rear plate is pure metal or a faux metal finish plastic. But the build quality is really good. BTW, I think now the back panel does not have that dotted effect. It is now more like a soft touch plastic (Matte finish one). Please check with actual shop. | |

In fact using S2 without any additional cover and protection makes it the lightest device ever used. I feel Iphone and metal based phones heavier to use and losing interest. | |
