BLU Elite 3.8 - User Reviews

  • Having severe issues.

  • You should contact [email protected] for help.

  • No support, more bugs, no update. I'm not buy phone of this trademark again.

  • please were can i get a screen for my phone nedd one asap

  • I purchased two of these in January 2013 One of them is now generating dial tones that can be heard by the party on the other end of the line and shortly thereafter loses the connection. On the other phone, the GPS was intermittent but it seems to have failed completely. I have also found them to be pretty slow to respond to input after loading what I feel is a bare bones set of apps and I kill the unused very frequently. There are no accessories for the phone either.I hope to get my money back on these, but doubt it.
