Just now i went to Bintang Megamall Miri and CSL group are promoting their new android lineup, the csl Mi350. This is the first dual SIM android phone to be known so far.
The offer price/starting price is MYR699 and will increase to MYR799 after promotion ends. It is bundled with froyo 2.2, 5mp camera, and 3.5" screen.
Seems a good deal and better than Mi310.. btw, no info about its processor and graphic. assuming this is a low end android phone for those who still dont wanna leave the ease of use of dual SIM phone.
I get a chance to play it in my palms. The build is pretty solid and the camera part is good looking. Doesnt look like cheapo Mi410 camera.
I give a 8 out of 10 for design.

just got my hands on em just now, but i didn't bought it, coz it will be kinda stupid, really.
my personal review:

- looks like a Sheng Tung STE E500 clone with singaporean design. why singaporean design? coz got "Designed by Spice i2i Innovation Center@Singapore" engraved at the back of the phone. but the button arrangement and the casing seems different than STE E500. anyone else have any idea what clone is mi350?

- feels bigger than mi300
- in the box u got the  device, a/c adapter (looks cheaper than mi300's), mini usb cable, battery, a quick start guide and a handsfree.
-Qualcomm MSM7227-1 with DSDS BSP. anyone knows what's DSDS BSP? hopefully not 'Dementia Scale for Down Syndrome' i dunno what it is, and certainly dont want that in my phone.
- basically the same chipset, msm7227 600MHz with Adreno 200 GPU.
- Dual Sim Card, but only 1st sim card can use 3G network. 2nd one only can support GSM network.
- although same version as our Phantom Sky Rev v1a (android 2.2.2) but mi350 uses linux kernel 2.6.35.7. (phantom use kernel 2.6.32.9)
- comes with 4GB class 4 microsd.
- stock rom quadrant standard score 920
- the free internal memory is 125MB with all those crap apps in it. so i'll assume it got almost the same internal memory as the mi300 (170++MB)

the good:
- 512MB of RAM
- lighter than mi300
- 3.5 inch display
- stock 2.2
- 5 Megapixel with Autofocus
- battery is 1500mAH

the bad:
- no azan app in stock rom (which is weird, since all csl comes with this feature), but still comes with Blueberry Messenger, Blueberry Store and CSL Fun Club craps. and they got the new crap also, called 'Sound Cube'.
- doesnt have free 1 year mapking.
- screen color less vibrant compared to mi300 (full brightness on both mi300 & mi350)
- lack of camera button and led flash
- they lied they have WiFi 802.11n. there ain't got no wireless-n.
- lack of dev support is bad enough, and less global user just makes it worse (mi300 has a lot of global users, which is good, since we can't rely on CSL if sh*t happens)

verdict:
512MB of ram PWNed mi300 sad.gif

I bought this phone and my comments are below:-

poor reception;
call drop easily;
can not hear clearly for BOTH parties, the voice keep on interrupt and sinking...

All these are basic requirements of a mobile phone which CSL failed to achieve!

Not sure what problem with you phone, my one working good......
But if you has reception problem, call will ez too drop and also the voice keep on interrupt and sinking,
this will be normal....
Buy the way, has you test in full signal.......If full signal has this problem, than will be problem.

Mac_kwong, now CSL are keep popular among LYN user.
Maybe u should seek for a support somewhere for flashing the ROM.

im following this thread:
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1859602

LYN user have a good supporter for the owner of CSL there.
