The much talked about, cheapest smartphone of the world, the ‘Freedom 251’ has finally seen the light of day. But the same, however, can’t be said about their server which died a woeful death after website crashed on day 1 of its pre-booking, thus leaving tens of thousands of enthusiasts disappointed and disheartened.

And then it’s the consumer reaction that’s funny!! We bring you some tweets that proves that the struggle to book the phone was real.

India will wake up only for two things

Early morning Ind vs Pak Match

Online shopping for cheap price#Freedom251

I think its called #Freedom251 because you’ll be able to book the phone only after 251 attempts.
