Well it still beats the ZTE Racer and Huawei Ideos, which are both pure garbage. At least by the looks of it is better than the T-Mobile Pulse and Pulse Mini, which makes the phone pretty good

It does indeed but lets hope it's reliable & of good software & hardware. Good battery life with decent performance overall. By the looks of the video the screen looks responsive

...but it looks plasticy, crap and unstable. So I'm good with a Samsung Monte instead for only £20-£30 more  even if the Monte does only have TouchWiz UI 2.0 its still better than Android filled with garbage orange branding. If I was orange I would rather price this £30 instead for its poor quality.

How does it look buggy or look unusable. It's running on similar, or better specs than last year's high end Android crowd.
Would much rather get this, wait for the brilliant XDA community to jump to it, then install a vanilla ROM than get a TouchWiz phone.
Android is the future, and it wouldn't surprise me if this phone started a wave of cheap devices. |

Thats smells a bit funny to me, since it is Open Source?

Agreed, and agreed 
The guys over at XDA will have this suited, booted, and rooted near enough straight away

How can you tell it looks buggy & unstable from a 1:36 video  The screen looked responsive & it's made of plastic yes but you have not held one have you? So how can you say it looks plasticky?? Every phone in a photo which is plastic can look just plastic

For goodness sake we are talking about THIS phone not my Android annoyances  Anyway @phonecrzy how can you compare this to Samsung Monte Touchwiz??  The Samsung is not anywhere near what this phone can do. I think it will spark alot of cheap Android devices but some people are not happy about that I read somewhere

It was meant as a joke / sarcasm.

But its your thread, you can change the topic anytime you like !
So please let us know your dislikes !
Anyway, this phone like all the other cheap mid to low range phones coming out is meant for people who want to dip their toe into the Android OS without having to pay for a top end smartphone. Its a good move by Android !
