  • josef on some version of the phone you need to type in a code to open up more menu feature such as bluetooth... on mine i had to type in *#334455# and then it worked... the dealer where you bought the phone at should have given it to you with the code, or already unlocked... where did you buy the phone?

  • I bought the samba mini, decided 2 try something new so far it works well....Just hope that it continues that way...the appearance is great as well....

  • Where's option bluetooth?

  • I just got this phone for XMAS, It's better than I thought, the features are plenty and simple to use. It's a great value for the style, battery power and availability to use dual sims. I love it and think it's also a great option for kids that want to look kool, but may loose their phone. Buy it for what it is, not an Iphone or Blackberry, but way more practicle at a way cheaper price. This way, us ladies can buy one for every color we wear to match...LOL!

  • Bought this phone about a week now and im still impressed with my purchase. I even bought 2 more as christmas gifts. Its everything you could want in a cell phone. light weight, slim, user friendly and economical.

  • Here is a short root guide:

  • hey Rudolf where did you buy the phone?

  • Dear future user of this phone, I have this phone, the dual sim version,for a while. u can make calls, sms, chat, play music/video, take pics(quality fair), take video(quality fair), internet(fair), reception on both sims are avarage, it depends on the telecom provider phone signal. In one word u can say GOOD. u can buy this phone with no worries it will not let u down. i use it and it works for me. at first i have doubts about this phone,but now that i have experience it. does doubts are no more.

  • Did really this phone has a 2 mp camera resolution? In my country i ask for the price and are a $ 88 usd, meamwhile aother model like this $ 245 usd. ( i compare qwerty keyboard phones because I like the qwerty keyboard) and if this phone has this features ( 2mp camera too) are a really xmas gift!

  • Dual SIM card seems a good option, but this should be an entry level mobile phone
