Weird phone that is, not even listed in gsmarena.

But dual-SIM + good specs .

iinm, this phone was originally meant for china market only. then got brought over to MY...

har, never heard oh... lol

really interested to know more about this phone...running Android and dual-sim....searching in the new but not much information and not even in HTC website....any help here??available if not signing with U mobile??

http://androidcommunity.com/htc-announces-...20413/desire-v/

Not bad according to spec, might be more competitive if it is priced at RM999.
May suggest to my bro.

This phone really look very tempting if compared with Samsung Galaxy Y Duos.

That's why posted here. Thought maybe someone here owns it already. Never own a HTC phone so was curious to know whether this would be a good purchase? The dual-sim feature and ICS were the things that made me attracted to it.

It is great to hear that umobile bring this handset come to malaysia
Actually this handset sold at china market
http://www.htc.com/cn/smartphones/htc-desire-v/#specs

hmmm....i wonder will it be available other then U mobile??anybody selling it in Lowyat??

32gb internal storage
make htc one v can balik kampung

Did a search on garage sale, non so far :-(
guess it's safe to say that only umobile is bringing it in. Wonder how the warranty works

http://www.htc.com/cn/smartphones/htc-desire-v/

only if u can read Chinese coz only available at HTC China website

Added spec and overview video on first post

it's single core, right? no typo, ya?

---

Added on June 3, 2012, 10:10 amdun read Chinese... later need to get someone who can... but from the CN website, seems like 512MB ram with 4GB internal memory...

update 1: just saw post #1. but UMobile website states 32GB

This post has been edited by mydragoon: Jun 3 2012, 10:11 AM

I'm sure it's single core. I don't read Chinese too. Mr. Google help translate

Not sure about the internal but soyacincau also mentioned it's only have 4gb internal memory but can use micro sd card.

Anyone is interested on getting this phone

Specs seems same or better than One-V....design also looks better than One-V duck lip...But camera i dunno.

But i think it's the best spec duo sim phone so far? Almost always, duo-SIM phones are a joke. This is something else.

i'd have to say that this one also can be considered a joke la...

4GB internal memory... should have at least packed in a 8GB or 16GB... some more running ICS and only 512 RAM? After ICS and the HTCSense takes up part of the 512MB, i wonder how much is left...?

I'm talking about DUO-SIM phones. Please find me one with better specs.

errr... yalar... i know what you mean... among dual simcard, this is probably still the best spec-ed...

but i take your comment and say that it is still a joke... coz... really, the specs still dun seem really attractive yet.

Compare apple to apple, not to orange. Can't show me a better duo-SIM phone, then it's NO JOKE.

And oh, One-V also 512MB....not a problem at all, very slick and smooth. Do your homework before commenting.

This post has been edited by Matrix: Jun 4 2012, 09:18 AM

my comments are also part questions... coz honestly, i've not hands on and i'm just curious as well...

i was about to convince a family member to get it... but looking at the specs... i do worry and hence, my comments...

but dowan to argue la... if my comments are not worth posting, then fine la...

Never use before tok so much....yes your comments ARE worthless.

This is what I see in Umobile website and I'm tempted to get it due to the same spec as One V (except screen bigger) and dual sim.

(Oh did I mention they are cheap unless you are loaded then get the One X. )

Phone Features Operating System
Android ICS (yesss!)

Processor
1GHz Processor, 512MB RAM (sadd..)


Screen
• Large 4” WVGA Display screen
• 480x800 resolution

Camera
• 5MP auto focus camera with flash
• 1080p HD Video Recording with stereo sound (now we're talking!)


Misc
• 32GB internal memory
• Active Dual SIM: WCDMA+GSM
• Authentic, studio quality sound powered by Beats AudioTM
• FM Radio

adding my 'worthless' comments... 32GB internal memory could be a typo. seems it could just be 4GB. 32GB could be max memory it can take (with external memory).

and 512MB should not be a 'sad' thing as comparison should be 'apple with apple'...

Going to Umobile sometime this weekend, if they have the model will post what I think of it..also considering the Xperia S. The S3 is all hype and most samsung products look cheap to the touch..imho! HTC and SonyEric are classier

i might actually be going to u mobile booth on wednesday... ya, if got unit, i can play around and feedback as well...

Hmm wondering what's the RRP for this phone?

RRP 1099 isn't ? stated in um's website.
Will head to sunway tomorrow to check out the price !

Wah, can buy S Advanced already

Please ask them if can get the phone without the plan and the warranty details

S Advanced cant serve dual sim purpose and even Ace Duos not as good as Desire V. Very eager to read review on this phone soon.

Will update you guys tomorrow ! Cheers

Added on June 4, 2012, 9:07 pmYa what dracula said is true, the real purpose is to have a dual sim function yo Battery capacity 1650 is same as galaxy s2 !

Added on June 5, 2012, 3:44 pmPosting from sunway.

Cannot buy without contract too.

stocks pending for arrival.

Thanks for the update!
Too bad need to get it with the plan

If you're using u-mobile, its worthwhile to bundle along with the plan

Thank for the update..
guess Malaysia is only country that have this phone besides China & HK.. saw some in Taiwan website but the price wasnt low..
so far no 2nd hand also .. wish to get this phone too!

Yeah I wish...at least Umobile asks you in advance of 6 months (3 months for older models) for this phone and I'm already a UMobile user so no problems. Other vendors like Digi and Maxis ask for more as advance payment.
Could not test as they did not have one available in Sunway, maybe 1-U next? I think Times Sq would be a better bet as its bigger than these 2 locations combined..

even Tropicana Mall outlet also dun have -- heck, this one only got the plastic display sets.

saw the desire v for sale at lelong.com.my

Thanks for sharing So, do they only bring in the black color?
Do write a review on its performance if you have the time

This post has been edited by Shizuru: Jun 21 2012, 10:12 PM

Yup, only black colour, seem that SIS not yet bring the white colour come to MY.

I ordered the white, it arrived in my office in malaysia last friday. Waiting on a friend to come back to Kuwait to pass it to me. Hows the speed so far? I'm using the HTC oneX, wondering can survive on single core or not LOL! But at least this way can maintain MY and KW number on one phone only

Hi Sir, have you got your phone from your friend yet ?
How's the performance of the phone ? Mind sharing your experience on it ?
What are you doing in Kuwait ? O&G ?

this is great phone for dual sim by far.

too bad it is pricey and the only 1 SIM has 3G.

anyway, Galaxy SII do hv a dual SIM model, but only for china.

I received it this morning, my experience is coming from the HTC One X. Obviously, the phone is slower, but the experience is negated by the benefits of only having to carry one phone around. Just setup for most of my usual uses of the phone, and so far so good. I use my phone for tethering and I think that the radio / antenna isn't as good as the One X, but it could be the network in Kuwait. Not very stable.

Again, I bought this phone because it has a minimum 1 GHz processor, and most importantly running ICS. Will update after a week's use, then at least can give better observations lah.

Yeah I've been transferred to Kuwait for almost 6 weeks now. So far so good, but it isn't summer yet and yesterday hit 50 degC Fun times!

i bought this phone 2 days ago.. well, i can't get some apps to work as it need a microsd to store data.so i need to buy 1.

i make a call through skype roughly around 40mins, the speaker area was really hot.

The keyboard is a bit hard to use. I need to turn off the auto correct function cause it's really annoying.

well, it's just a small problem. overall, i'm loving it.

where i can get case for my desire V from garage? did anyone sell it?

how much dude? got brand or not?

quite expensive - rm62 , its from china sumore..

wow mahalnya..

mahal.. but it's htc afterall.. always overpriced.

i wonder why dual-sim phones almost exclusively for china?

mayb there's got alot of telco company ...

Hah! I bought the same brand for my One S too! And i got mine the same place with you too!

Bought it at some handphone store at The Mines, RM50 and the package includes a case & a screen protector


The quality quite ok lar, although from China, seems quite tough and protects the phone quite well!

haha, ya.. screen protector is included..
at least it fit nicely to the phone shape ..

the box for desire v is so teruk. my god.
htc tarak duit kah ?

I think its better they save money on the box, than save money on the phone itself right? ;-)

yeah u r rite.. bcoz we dont use box all da time..

this phone got custom rom? can it root?

Root available, custom rom not yet

Haha. True also
Any cheap casing available in the market now ?
the virtual keyboard is good man. is it because of htc sense ?

This post has been edited by foxxy: Jul 1 2012, 07:46 PM

Not yet hahhahaha
