Overall Rating:
Pros: Dual cards standby phone
Bluetooth
FM radio player
Slide unlock function
Cons: sound too high even setting it to the minimum value (tone and conversation), default ring tones are not the best (but you can set your own tones), no own tones for sms/mms, no vibration mode, no webcam mode (when plugin to a pc)
Other Thoughts: Camera is not that bad as everyone is saying. It's normal VGA camera that functions within it's limitations. Pictures taken with it (once you set screen quality to high and resolution to 640x480) are quite ok. Camera doesn't like dark places.
Bottom: Good low priced phone. Many useful functions. My friends were really surprised when I had told them how much it costs =)

Pros: . Main menu is easy to use. I use a CECT phone for daily use and this has similar set up. Unlike the CECT you can use GPRS on both master and slave SIMs. MP3 player is pretty good as it is on most China phones. Easy connection to PC as mass storage device. Price very reasonable for this kind of (Dual SIM) functionality. Nothing like this is available in the UK. Brilliant in the car with one bluetooth hands free working on two lines.
Cons: Camera is poor, as it is on most China phones, but at least it does not claim to be good. Settings imply that it is 1M pixel. Image file sizes comfirm sensor to be 0.3M pixel. English manual is no use at all (but the phone is easy to set up without it). No WAP/GPRS settings for Europe so you will need to get them from your networks (does work when you set it up). Some functions are a bit superfluous for western users. Not much else wrong.
Other Thoughts: This phone works better than mine so quality has improved even in the last months
Bottom: Get One for the price of a dismal ordinary phone.
