open email, facebook and browser simultaneously, BAM... hang doh.gif doh.gif
and somehow the browser will also make the phone hangs when visit certain (not ahem) websites. hmm.gif

battery life is quite good though. On 3G from 11am till now still left 18% after playing with the camera, updating apps, browsing and pulling emails every half hour.

and found out some flaws with the design. The speaker position is at the back of the phone, next to the camera. And the back of the phone is flat. If you put it on a table, incoming call sound will be reduced in approx 70%. Put the phone on a book, magazine or newspaper, cant hear any incoming call sound. doh.gif doh.gif

and no lights providing illumination for the four buttons below, hard to see during night time.

verdict: if you're a heavy user, dont buy this phone. Go get a HTC One S, Galaxy S II, etc is even better. This phone is more suitable for those casual users. Those who buy this phone, be prepare to "kill" tasks everytime finish browsing, especially after browsing FB (the app itself). The app itself is a headache. It eats up RAM and makes the whole phone lags and in worst case scenario, hangs.

Well what you expect from a budget phonetics is half of one s price.

well, my milestone, which is running on stock hardware spec, doesn't hang when I open email, facebook and browser simultaneously.

I suspect it is the software itself still have some "rough edges". Not very refined.

nope, but despite the low hardware spec, it still can hold pretty well to newer versions after Froyo.

The ICS is a newer software and I expect it to be better refined, but I was wrong. Too overwhelming for the hardware I guess.

The processor in this phone is a nice one although its two years old now. Might just be that the current firmware has some RAM management issue thats all. recommend those who already root this phoe to get v6 supercharger smile.gif
