QUOTE(igmroey @ Nov 17 2011, 04:48 AM) IM going to get this phone tomorrow. What are the reasons WHY I SHOULDN'T get this phone. btw im in the UK. im thinking there are no differences irrespecctive of wher u live eh ? Don't wanna buyd phone and end up regretting it >< Can't complain much since it's performance exceeds it's price tag IMHO. Maybe only complain is the amount of RAM/Storage onboard? And maybe it might not get ICS, so you might have to resort to using custom roms

Are all 512mb ram phoes like this ? its just like your PC right? you buy 4GB ram but you dont get to fully utilize the 4GB of ram.. some of it sure needed to be run background apps/OS thingy.. and for more information please read 1st post before asking repetitive question..

I will try it tonight... Hehe. Let me tell you this so you don't have to learn the hard way I did. Factory reset will NOT reset the firmware; root will remain, removed stock apps/ringtones will remain gone, changed stock font will remain changed. I initially thought factory reset will reset EVERYTHING, but it won't. To reset EVERYTHING, you have to flash the original ROM.
