I don't think it's true.

if it is true, does it imply better to get Stealth rather than Mercury?

did u also survey other shop in pas? so rm735 is the cheapest in pas?

Who exactly is this "guy"?

Which is no a good deal.

anyone able to port MIUI jellybean rom into the mercury?

Nope, and I don't think anyone will in a long time.

read that somebody is rooting mercury?so can it be rooted?

i have posted someone from XDA rooted the mercury successfully. but there is none from this forum comment on its workability.

i am waiting for the reply also.

yup, not a gud deal.. did try to find around and only one dealer sole it.. the rest is stealth and majority is samsung..

I was have made up my mind to get the CSL swittch mercury but I found the Hero H9500 which is priced about the range of CSL. The specs looks impressive though I'm not sure if it's entirely correct.. You guys have any suggestion..

hi all. i'm a proud owner of mi501 for 1+ month now. A great phone. Always show off this phone to my colleagues who use NoteII.

the spec looked good and areas impressed me most are the 1G ram, 5.3" screen and 8mp camera.

but wonder anyone is bring this phone in and may i know what the price is?

also interested in the phone u quoted.....

The Hero H9500/ Zopo Zp900 is a magnificent phone. Only a few problems.

1. Speaker is not loud enough.
2 . GPS is not really good.
3 Camera's flash results in washed out pictures.
4. Warranty is hard to claim.
5. Screen cracks and scratches easily.
6. Dual sim is kind of buggy.

But other than that, it's an awesome buy. Against the Mercury, it is about the same situation as Ninetology Stealth 2 vs Mercury. Mercury smacks it in all the benchmarks, but Hero has better camera and and better multitasking. Interestingly, the Mercury has better battery life than the Hero, although Hero's battery is larger.

This phone was offered for RM799 and yeah I was impressed with the RAM too and the phone does look good.


Thanks for the tips cranky guy. I knew that I could count on ya.

Thx. Also, I forgot to mention one more thing. Since the one you're getting is the Hero, and not the Zopo, the updates and bug fixes of the Zopo phones are not available. The main difference between Hero and Zopo is that Zopo have a huge english speaking community, and are very attentive to their buyers needs. Hero don't do that. The main differences between the Zopo Zp900 and Hero H9500 are:

1. The Hero's screen is hard to view in the sunlight, while Zopo have fixed this.
2. The Play Store on most Hero phones have a bug, while Zopo has managed to fix this.
3. Zopo accept warranty after you root your phone, and they even give steps to root your phone on their website. Hero does not.
4. Hero phones usually have poorer durability, despite being mostly the same as Zopo phones.
5. Zopo has a huge english speaking community, while Hero does not. So if you encounter any problems, it will be hard to fix them with Hero phones.

So if you want to get the phone, make sure it is from Zopo, even if you need to pay a little extra. But if you don't mind, then go ahead. About the look, I always felt that it looked like a smaller Galaxy Note 2.

Also, I want to congratulate Zopo on releasing their Zopo Zp950 Phablet Max. A 5.7 inch screen with HD resolution is awesome.

the phone out of stock issue made this thread move really slow. hope we can get back on track soon.

I know. CSL's Facebook page hasn't been moving too. I wonder what is going on? Maybe they're planning about quad core model or something like that?

dont think quad core model in such a short period. unless they want to stop the production line for mercury and develop for the quad core.

else it dont make sense on the slow supply.

seeing like trend is moving toward ninetology now.
