Ownership verified by DX F003 summary
Posted by hrabovsky on 1/21/2010
Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

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

Pros: - 2 SIM
- TV, FM, WiFi, Bluetooth, USB
- price

Cons: - poor booklet
- bad and no complete Czech translations in menus
- Why not DVB-T ? Only analog. Will stop working in ME this year :(
-only US AC adaptor.

Other Thoughts: If you tune TV in Middle Europe as region Western Eupop (really Eupop! , ME is not in menu) because of PAL color system, you will have no sound. If you choose Russia region, you will get sound and also PAL color, even if Russia uses SECAM. Very misleading. More such misleads in menus!

Bottomline: - Short battery durability if Bluetooth and Wifi switched on (Half a day)
- Not able to answer call using 1 button, need browsing thru menus!
- Missing any communication software for PC. Not able synchronize contacts with Outlook (Only 1 phone number per contact using third party payd SW)
- Very tricky opening back cover (needs several times daily if need replace empty battery)
- Bad quality of data cable - was unusable in 3 days :(
- Tricky virtual keyboard. If needed write numbers you have to list cyclycally thru cca 15 other countries keyboards to reach digits keyboard, then choose 1 digit, then list back to national keyboard etc... Very stupid! Why not one row of numbers up to letters in each keyboard? It´s very tricky if e.g. inserting WEP code for WiFi (26 Hexa codes) !!!
The usability corresponds to price. Good as toy, bad as manager phone.

Ownership verified by DX Really good affordable alternative to iPhone.

Pros: Looks and feels like a great phone. Screen is a good size @ 3.3" and providing 2 batteries is a bonus - remeber to charge both beriess so there is always a spare available - they dont take long to charge using the jack plug - I've not tried the USB yet but assume that will be just as efficient.

Cons: The instruction booklet could be a bit clearer. Took a while to find where all the sockets were and the back locating is crude to say the least. The whole back has to be prysed off. I thoughjt it might crack but it was ok. Some sort of slide system would have been bewtter.

Other Thoughts: The WiFi,Java, Opera, internet and phone functions are all perfect. even includes Google search on mine. TV is just analogue so won't work in Norway (it will work in some of the countries I travel to though)

Bottomline: A nice affordable phone. Glad I bought it.

Pros: I have had this cell phone for about a month now and I am still loving it.
- 2 SIMs and dual stand-by
- big touch-screen with good sensitivity
- WiFi / WLAN
- Bluetooth
- e-mail
- Radio
- TV
- good design
- easy to use
- excellent performance and functionality

Cons: - battery life not very good
- bad hands-free
- bad and incorrect user manual
- video player cannot play AVI files
- bad camera which however has a flash light (LED)
- difficult to find compatible and working JAVA applications and games
- still struggling to make MMS settings for both SIMs work (maybe a software bug)
- the build-in memory not 87,7 MB, but much less
- no 3G support
- no GPS

Other Thoughts: Could not manage to set up a Gmail account, but the classic POP accounts are working perfectly.
I am now waiting for compatible replacement rechargeable batteries and firmware updates.

Bottomline: I recommend this cell phone!
Buy it and don't worry!
Be happy!
Thank you, DealExtreme and Fly-Ying!
