Ownership verified by DX Great phone
Posted by Gocuja on 11/19/2008
Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: more than 1 month

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstarstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstarstar

Pros: Works great as MP3 player, radio, and phone.
You can choose your own mp3 songs as your ring tone. Ringing volume is adjustable, this is not always certain in these china phones. Comes whit 2 batteries and they last very long.

Cons: No Wi-fi and no 3G and bad camera. But if these are not your top priority when you are looking for new phone, buy this. You will not be disappointed. But don't expect it to be Iphone, cause it isn't.

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: It's really great touch screen phone in this price category, If you don't need fast internet or good camera. Buy this cause it's better than others similar phones.

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: Functionality is there.
Touch works good
Very shiny & Slippery but great.
Looks & feels 99% iPhone.
Comes with stylus.
The graphics and java are both great.
Some iphone skins or body glove fits with it.
Screen changes while locked by shake control.
Music changes when shaked.
QUAD BAND & Dual Sim!
Great phone for the price.

Cons: Touch response isn't exactly like iphone., has a little delay.
Hard to find games for it.
The Camera isn't really 2mp & no Flash.
ebook reader does not read pdf.
Cannot change the ringtones for msg txts unless you hack in it.
No caller picture ID.
grabbing up does not work on some areas. ie:phone book list. only works grabbing down the list and must use scroll back to go back up.
not loud enough.
Signal reach isn't too good. Inside walmart does not work too well (i got T-mobile) don't knw bout others. At&t is worse.
NO Wifi.
Need to plug in headset in order to use the radio. Not a good option.
Earphone does not plug in correcly and gets disconnections most of time. Need to plug in almost all the way to work.
Not so great on using Mp4 videos. Need to use sz 176x144 but sync is somtimes hard to align.
Video playback is slow from recordings.
No GPS.

Other Thoughts: Instead of having 1 iphone. I got the sciphone + Memorex blu-ray player in exchange. Not a bad deal.
Phone looks cool. with a little bit more modifications it can really be like i phone.

Bottomline: Buy the Phone. It's one of its kind for the price. Unless an upgrade version is about to come out w/ GPS & wifi. Basically, those are the only functions it really lacks. Overall great phone & very user friendly.

Ownership verified by DX Great phone with a little flaws here and there

Price: starstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstar

Usefulness: starstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: looks great, feels great. the size of the phone is great. not too big or small. can fit just fine in your pocket. pretty resistant too. dual network is a plus and 850 band.

Cons: build quality seem a little cheat but satisfactory, can't change or create ringtones, very anyoing. can't change volume for rintones or vibrate, this can be very anoying. can't disable tones when turning on and off, very loud and anoying while in public.

Other Thoughts: not bad. but is not near close to an iphone, good try though,

Bottomline: if you can stand the tone anyoyanses then go and buy this phone. other wise little here and there can be quite anoying.

Pros: - Nice: Smooth; comes with screen protecter
- Light: Lighter then the iPhone
- Easy to use; All questions can be answered. Internet settings and mms setting easily configured.
- Shake sensor; Amazing, was a lot better then I thought it was going to be.
- Picture Veiwer is easy a nice to use. The sliding to change picture is great.
- Music is clear and very good.
- Java works great. Got apps working in no time.
- Video is DECENT. NO amazing or anything. It could be a lot better.
- SMS and calling works great.
- Great reception
- Souch screen is AMAZING! Great, 10/10. When I got the the phone I went to Settings>>> Pen Calibration and then do what it tells you. The touchscreen will work great.
- Great features like calender, Calculator, Notes, World Clock, Currency Converter, e-Book reader and bluetooth.
- There is a Sound recorder and a Melody Composer.
- User friendly navigation. No need to be tech genious to get this phone.
- Sturdy Phone; Looks like it could take a bashing.

Cons: - Can not change sms ringtone. Wouldn't be that bad except they have -annoying- default ones.
- Wifi would be a great feature.
- No little slot to add phone charm-things.

Other Thoughts: If it had better video image and sound quality, had the function to change sms ringtone, had Wifi and clearer sound when playing a song loud it would beat the iPhone by far.
Also I got a phone with a blank back case, I was expeting SciPhone to be written on it. But there wasn't. :D

Bottomline: If you want an amazing phone with great features. Get this. It's cheap, works great, looks good and it functions. :D
Looks like it could take a bashing. :D
