after approximately 2 months of using this phone...

Pros:
- dual sim android phone.
- cheap?

cons
- underpowered
android phone are now going to 800MHz - 1.2GHz range for the processor, and having 600MHz processor will make this phone feel outdated. worse, this is DUAL SIM phone, which put more stress on the phone.
take time to change orientation, so most of the time, i just lock the orientation.
- small internal memory
512mbs is total memory, but available memory is about 158mbs, but with some basic apps (better launcher, better keyboard, widget) u will left with only 40-80mbs, which is very limited. so u can only install several apps only, and most of the apps, you have to transfer to sd card.
- low resolution
- insensitive screen
sadly, despite advanced of touchscreen, this phone screen is not sensitive. even worse if you have big finger.
- unstable
if you leave this phone without much change, the phone is just fine. but it's will get unstable when you start installing multiple apps, change the launcher, keyboard widgets and what not, and root.
- limited support
it's hard to find discussion on this phone, unlike mi300 and mi410. no ROM yet found on the internet, no update yet found in any forum. this phone only have one twin, which is viewsonic v350 (unlike mi300 and mi410 which have several twin)

other
- battery
full use (games + radio + wifi) - approx 3 hours
minimal use - up to 2 days

list of games
fieldrunner HD - take time to load, but rarely lag during games.
tap tap revenge 4 - *not recommended* take time to load, lag (lag is a very big issue here)
cut the rope - no problem

in the end, there is yet a dual sim android phone that reliable. u might end up using 2 phone.

can't agree more, being a student, im stuck with this phone. got no money to change to other phone.

true.

doesn't happen to me

very true. especially when you have many apps installed. to avoid this, restart the phone with charger on. if the problem still persist, remove both simcard, restart the phone, wait about 30-45 minutes, then your apps will be load back. then when you want to restart your phone with simcard, make sure restart with charger on.

agree


in the end, it's up to you. with this price, if you really want an android phone, better buy single sim phone.

same here. cannot use umobile in sim 1, but sim 2 is ok. i think it's 3g roaming problem.

official update not sure, but in xda forum, there is 2.3 rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338718 but link for the required file is broken. not sure if there is other way.

have you try swapping the simcard? put umobile at sim2. how about other simcard from other service provider? doest it cause problem?

no official update. but if you want to update from froyo to gingerbread, there is ROM from india (original Spice ROM) in xda forum. please google "MI350 gingerbread xda forum" and you'll find the rom. require phone to be flash though. not recommended for basic android user.

slow as expected from low spec phone. for faster GPS, switch on AGPS with data.
