Assalamualaikum,
Insya'Allah after using this phone for a week or so, I think is safe for me to give a review. Hope it well help you guys out there who are considering to buy this phone.
THE GOOD: Price: Of course the one thing that really make this phone stand out from the rest of the smart phone line up is the price. Standing at RM600 plus, no other smart phone can beat it, yet. I will truly agree that the phone give much much more than its price, a touch screen, gps, wifi and android all come in good packages in this phone. For people like me who are careless and prone to accidentally dropping the phone, the cheap price is a good way to safe your money without loosing the exciting feature that a smart phone has to offer.
Android Apps: If you are people like me, that like to be kinda of different from the majority, the android OS is the best alternative to the IPhone Apps. Yes I like to be different, the android apps which you can download it from the android markets is breathtaking.
. From the useless but fun to have apps such as "tom the talking cat" to the must have apps such as opera browser, the android apps market have plenty of offer. BUT wait for it, thats not the best thing, the best thing is
FREE. If you like me, you will spend night over night browsing and downloading new apps from the market. Nope! my internal memory has not run out yet.
Connectivity : There are some people here and at other forum complaining about the wifi connection problem. In my personal experience, I have none of it, I can easily connect to the internet using wifi at home and at midValley megamall. I use the phone to connect with the wifi so much that the phone has replace my PC for updating my FB, checking Gmail and browsing the internet (Use Opera Browser). I think, the connectivity problem is cause by the router that you use. This also for 3G, i know this because I accidentally watch youtube using 3G when I thought i used wifi. And let me tell you, its fast thought it flush my credit to the drain
. No problem yet with mms and gps.
THE BAD:Android OS: When android is the good feature of the phone it is also the down site to it. Android is relatively new so its not really mature enough, because of this there is still bugs within the OS. Most notably is with the Clock apps which come pre-install with all android phone. It suppose to be the alarm clock apps for this phone, but it does not functional well. Although you can easily fix this with downloading alarm clock apps from the market, but things like this are the basic of the phone, witch manufacture should not get it wrong. Then there is the limitation on the apps that you can download from the market. Priced apps is still not open to Malaysian user, so there are limitation. However with the coming upgrade to android froyo 2.2, most bug problem should be solved. Including to be able at last to install apps on the SD card.
Screen: If you want to watch video in HD, you are surely will get disappointed with the screen resolution. It is noticeably low and poor quality. However honestly, it is ok with me. Sure is not top quality but you can still watch YouTube and read ebook from it. True for most video.
Camera: I guest this is the worst feather of this phone. The camera is really really bad even comparing to other 2MP camera. Lot of noise and the color is just wrong. If you want to buy phone and plan to use the phone camera a lot, then i advice to not buy this phone. Is really that bad.
Battery: The phone battery is not really a problem, but you do have to take care about witch setting you turned on. Do make sure you turn off wifi, and gps after using it. Or your battery will drain fast, another thing that i notice, is when battery goes down to 60% or so, than the power will also drain fast, but going from 99% to 60% you have to do a lot of thing. So its actually safe but just be cautious with you power using. Thought the positive side is the battery can be charged quickly.
Oh k, thats my personal review. I'm not a hand phone dealer so I think you can trust my review.
All in all i really happy with this phone, I already forget my last phone.
Thanks for reading it.
