Pros: Price much less than IPhone, Looks nice, Camera, Video, mp3 player, voice recorder, 6 speaker, Loudness, Display is nice, 2 SIMs (no benefit to me), comes w/256 memory, some Chinese videos and music (not sure if its a pro or a con), 2 removable batt, charger can charge 2 batt at once, buttons are nice
Cons: OS very very basic, dont even have a note pad, basic calendar, no scheduler, low func To Do List, pictures taken not so good (I had a blackberry Pearl and the pic were much better), Video not so good (I had a Treo 650 and video was better), no standard headphone jack or usb, touchscreen not that sensitive (hard to use the keyboard on the touchscreen), OS functionality and end user feel is not up to par with Blackberry, Palm or PocketPC. OS feels cheap, writing on stylus is almost mute b/c you cant write a whole word or a sentence...you can only write one letter at a time for the application to read it via the touchscreen and you have to wait 1 or 2 seconds before it registers as the letter and sometimes its even wrong, then you try touching the keypad on the screen and the buttons are too small, the touch screen is pretty much pointless...I use the buttons more
Comments: This phone is one step above a basic phone but not near a smartphone or PDA/Phone. If you are looking for functionality like a PDA style phone (Blackberrys, Treos, etc) don't buy this phone it cannot do what you would need it to do. After owning it the only real pro is that I have an IPhone look a like...and thats about it. The phone cant help me schedule appointments, take notes or make comments and notes to my contact list. I need a phone to help in my busy professional life and if you're like me don't waste your money on this phone.
On another note: This phone would be great for that child that has been bugging you for a kool phone...esp if it looks like the IPhone or that wife that wants to get ride of her old clamshell phone. The price is low and the looks are hi. Plays video and music.....how about some nice music videos on the memory card....the kids will love it. Oh...did I mention how loud the music can get. Yep it plays music loud enough to have your own little party; six speakers loud. My dog ran away from it b/c it was so loud.
