Great phone

Posted: Feb 11, 2013, 5:12 AM

Phone owned for less than a month

Don't understand what problems the others have with the internet, it works fine for me. 3g and wifi... battery is fine once you tweak it a bit. I use mine about 2-3 days. I use "2x Battery -" so it shuts off 3g and wifi when its in standby mode. I have no problems with speed. Seems good enough for android 2.3.6.
Of course some phones are a lot faster but then again this is priced much lower. I bought it used for only €100.
Camera could have been better but its decent enough.

Only con is the low internal memory but when using app2sd it works alright.

changing from one tower to another when signal strength is low

Posted: Jan 28, 2013, 2:50 AM

Phone owned for less than a year

I am working in an area where there is no signal in gullies and limited signal strength on top of hills. when I get to an area that has no signal and get on to a hill top where I know there is a signal I have to shut the phone down, take the battery out then restart the phone to get a connection. It appears when I get into service with another tower the phone doesn't see it and is looking for the tower near home. I have updated the phone with Samsung but this hasn't fixed the problem. Anyone out there know of a fix or is my phone faulty?

A very good rugged smartphone

A very good quality smartphone, with a rugged feeling and outdoor tools (lamp, GPS, etc...)
Battery life is the great cons, because live only 4 hours with full use off internet facilities. The WIFI receptor is low end for sure because even with a full power net the sinal is always low. To review these items.

But in general is a very good phone and is IP67 certified.
