Ofcourse, it has Android inside it and hence you can.
But you cannot access the apps made for the ICS as it doesn’t have ICS but there aren’t still may apps that exclusively need ICS

How can switch on blue tooth in this set
i want to puchase idea 918 mobile
plz advice
ID 918N
I have purchased this phone.
My Phone shows that RAM 87MB used and 57 MB Free
It means it has 144 MB of total RAM
Its a basic phone that comes with out SWYPE keyboard ,
If u install SWYPE it will consume abt 16 MB of internal memory and 14 MB of RAM .
and about processor — as i checked the details of this phone at gsmarean – there are not mentioned the manufacture of the processor .
and as i analised the perfomace , It is really poor .
Camera Quality – in DAY LIGHT – its ok not good.
But in night of Low light —- It is very poor.
PC SUITE FOR THIS — i have downloaded it from ALCATEL website and installed .. It is the worst PC suite that i have ever seen
I could not manage Contacts.. nothing.
It does respond at all .. very poor graphics and user interface ….
and there were four pre-installed application that needed updates…I have not updated due to lack of memory .
and ya the Key board is not good.
over all – if u want to see a android phone with IDEA TAG in your hand — then its OK .
But u want a decent phone that is easy to use and good performance .
Its not the right choice
i think micromax or others like them might be better .
But it is really not a good phone
in this price range — go for ” Galaxy POCKET or Y Duos”
I purchased it in 5500 .
