  • This phone is pretty much a bit out of trend. Basically faced out. But I still really like so much this smartphone. But I really had a big problem here. I can't open the start button, at the left buttom beside the contacts. I even can't open it from its home where the picture shows a house. I dunno what went wrong here. Guys, if you know something about my problem, pls do message me at my email at [[email protected]] I desperately needed a fix in my phone. Don't have a plan to change my phone. Pls help!!! T_T

  • Hey guys, I need help. I bought my mitac mio phone last month, and for some reason the screen when blank on me. I remember charging it, and when I turned it on, the screen was black. I need help guys. I call the technical support in england, and they didn't return my email nor pick my phone calls. The tech guys sucks. All people I need help. By the way the phone is great!

  • I need help! I cannot get into the start menu and also all i can get into is my contacts. I can't do nothing to the phone. I turned it off and all comes on the the one to one free zone. i really need help. I already personalize my phone but it just won't let me get into the menu anymore.

  • very nice phone, outlook integration and video shooting make it a flashy tool. i use it on the german vodafone network. only drawback is the chinese mms menu (no update out there?!) and the annoying bug which turns on cell broadcast (cell info) reception after each on/off-cycle, flooding the sms inbox with network information messages. anyone got an idea how to tackle that one?

  • "When I turn power on it will search for signal and then the message "no service"" yes..crash......this is bug,every one is same.

  • needing someone i can get tech and service support for this phone. it has stopped working and i have no idea who to call or contact

  • I bought mitac mio 8390 to use with t-mobile. But it is not working with t-mobile. When I turn power on it will search for signal and then the message "no service" Can anybody help me how to make it work with t-mobile.If you know, please email me at [email protected]. Thank you very much.

  • I want 2 know,is this phone can be used in Indonesia?and where i can get it in surabaya-indonesia?and how much? coz it's too difficult to find in surabaya-indonesia..Somebody can help me please??? THX

  • have been using it for 5 months... everything works well (especially the SD/MMC card feature... allows me to watch saved movies non-stop for 9 hrs during flights.. one 256MB card is enough for a 110mins movie)... however not a lot of extra free downloads available/compatible with WIN Mobile 2003... and NO FM radio function. My network charges very high for internet connection...so far only used it twice... seems not as good as my friend's 3G phones.

  • how I can find this phone at Cyprus?

  • I would like to buy this phone. Can I have any information available how I can find this mobile in Cyprus?

  • You can get the English manual, Driver,...of MIO 8390 here

  • I like to buy Mitac Mio 8390 red color (New)

  • Need help here..I need Mitac 8380's Chinese MMC data..anyone possible to send me the files?

  • I got my Mio 8390 through trading and I absolutely love its features too bad its not as popular as nokia or se especially here in the philippines. - well i just hope that i can figure out how to configure the mms feature otherwise i think its the best smartphone ever

  • wou i never realised there was such a great phone, and it was released so early too..the best of its kind at release date i guess...

  • does this phone has a camera which can make videos or clips??????????

  • i'm selling mine: BRAND NEW and network/applications-unlocked...! Contact me at [email protected]... Worldwide selling! Thanks!

  • Yes the MMS Is still In chinese. As far as the GX32 goes It has a few more features than the 8390. The GX has a flash for the camera, bluetooth, and a 65k external color screen. these three features will cost you about 250.00 more than 8390. other than the three features mentioned, the rest of GX32 and 8390 are the same.

  • which cell phone is better, Mitac mio 8390 or sharp gx-32?????? which has more features?

  • just ordered a 8390 from x1397 from Ebay... Just want to know if the MMS menus are still in chinese?

  • I just got this phone and It's excellent. It's the most feature rich phone for the price. I'm running It on T Mobile U.S.with wap(T Zones) enabled. I've already put mp3 ring tones on the phone, all the factory ring tones suck. I've downloaded megpeg and wmv files on to the phone they work great. there's even a freeware program that allows you to overclock the 200mhz processor to 300mhz with no damage to the phone which makes the phone that much faster. The 3 games that come with the phone work great. I haven't downloaded any games yet so I can't say If the GAPI doesn't work or not,although downloaded video works well. I also haven't tried the still and video camera yet so I can't comment on the quality. From a features for money standpoint, It's the best phone you can get. you can download the english manual from The english manual Is okay for 200 pages but It's not as comprehensive for overseas users as It should be. Here's a smartphone phone forum that helps greatly with Mitac phones

  • i need mitac mio 8390 english user`s guide please let me know thank you, rahman e-mail: [email protected]

  • Where can i get this phone under $300?

  • hi i just bought my 8390 and i put my sim and it says no service. ? why?

  • Dear all, I am an international seller on Ebay selling various brands of mobile phone. The 100% Brand New Mitac Mio 8390 is now for sale at EUR470 including shipping charges to Europe. It comes with all original accessories and it takes 3-5 days to arrive. Please feel free to contact me if you want more information! Cheers!!

  • It would be a great phone if the majority of applications would work, unfortunately due to a problem with GAPI on this phone you'll be lucky if any game or program that uses graphics will even run on it!! And there was me thinking that a Windows Smartphone would run Windows Smartphone software! If you play emulators or games or watch DivX movies then this phone isn't any good for it at the moment, hopefully when a patch comes out I can recommend the 8390

  • How can you get this phone to work it's wap browser and internet explorer with the cingular network. How do you get MP3s ringtones on the phone as well if anyone knows how to configure the data connections settings please holla back.

  • price in Hk is hk$3580 about us$465 check this smartone website

  • It's can not read MSword.

  • hi. when will you sell the mitac mio 8390 ? Can I buy it from france ?.

  • so its even cheaper than the 8380? 15800 NT? is that really the common retail price?? any1 know if hk or mainland china might have it??

  • It's already available in TW since about 1 week ! It seems, only in small Quantity, due to only some shops have it ! Cost: ~ 15.800NT$

  • any one know when is it gonna be out??

  • Wish it had bluetooth :(

  • Mio 8380 is good mobile phone, but wil be better if the screen can be touch, like Sony Ericson P 800 or P 900. That's make Mio perfect phone for me

  • I checked it @ the Computex 2003 in Taipei/Taiwan some weeks before: it's a bit more enhanced then the 'old' 8380, but the best thing - it's now much more cute - similar style like NEC N8/Panasonic GD88 (I mean, more japanese style already) ! The bad thing - although scheduled already for Nov. release, it won't be available now on the market (Asia) before nxt year (january) !
