  • plz my blue tango fell down and the touch screen sensor is no longer working again plz help me, what would i do to solve the problem.Reply

  • Kriss i am from trini and i will look into it for u..... i believe the process would be like any other android phone

  • Hello I need software to download mode my blu tango, some body knows where can I find the SO to this phone?

  • Blu Tango for sure is the best. BlackBerry is rubish chinese phone, believe me.

  • i have 2 simply question 1)can someone tell me how to save files without a sd card and 2) where i can download the drivers i visited www.bluproducts.com but i didn't find anything.

  • which is better the blu tango or the black berry

  • i am getting this or the blu electro but i rather the tango

  • i want to knw abt blu moble cost???????????????

  • how can i get my blu tongo android unlocked in Trinidad &Tobago? no body seems to be able to unlock my phone somebody send me a code or an answer to this problem.

  • i want to know how much it cost????

  • The drivers are already at the BLU website... so finally we have them :)

  • I Uploaded the drivers here, if you use windows 7 64bit disable the patchguard using fyyre tool for that

  • That's a great smartphone. I'm very happy about it. Simple, cheap and so funcional. With Andoroid OS 2.2 you can do many different things, download other apk from Market and have fun with voice recogniction. I do recomment it!!!! Be sure knowing how to use the battery, you have many things to disable to longer it.

  • Yo, lar, Im from Trinidad too, where did you nuy your Tango? Is it a single or dual sim? Does it come with all the phone mem? I bought the SPEED and it was apparently refurbished. I wanna buy the TANGO but dont want any more disappointments

  • try using rage

  • I saw this model in the CTIA show... BLU is growing every single day from androids to the basic phones. Great job! Nokia is getting off track BLU even got them out of the caribean market so I´ve heard!

  • This is a BLU-branded Compal Communications CAP8 Penguin Lite. Frequency bands are 850MHz and 1900MHz.

  • how can i get the three number pin code to get the phone started ? thanks for any help. richard [email protected]

  • Here are the Windows USB drivers for the BLU Tango. Support for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows XP, Vista, and 7 included. Enjoy!

  • Please give an email address and I will send them to you.

  • can tango be upgraded from froyo to gingerbread?

  • where can i get the usb driver for blu tango? the site suggested is really poor.

  • Great phone in terms of specs for the price. Resistive screen not as great as a capacitive but can work good. Size a little small to maximize android. HOWEVER: I can't FIND PC USB DRIVERS to do debugging on PC. The blu website (www.bluproducts.com) does not even have any drivers or even contact information. This is the MAJOR fault with this phone. I have also searched the internet and haven't found working drivers and I even tried other drivers such as the Google USB drivers and PdaNet and EasyTether. So if you are interested in using this phone for cheap development or any PC USB related stuff, FORGET ABOUT IT until they release the drivers!!!!

  • Excellent translation!!!

  • The person said they are from Trinidad and they like the phone except for the fact that it's a touch screen.

  • Yes, I also bought it from the same store! 101-Mobile has great prices, but I would like if they had more than 60 day warranty!

  • I bought my BLU TANGO,on ebay. Really cheap at this store! Phone has great applications, touchscreen is great!!

  • The manufacturer is a company from Miami, they manufactured BLU brand in the same factories where LG , Motorola is made in China, overall Blu phones are top quality compare to cheap chinese brands, and this Tango which is their first android phone is pretty good for the value. As another person mentioned is way faster than the X10 mini.

  • anybody know how to root this thing

  • On the official blu-website is standing, it supports 3G 850/2100! Whats now correct, does it work in europe too???

  • Awesome phone for this price, pretty fast too... I had brought from ebay. Any time better than X10 mini i am using now. Well build, decent screen size pretty responsive for the resistive screen over all very satisfied with this purchase.

  • I wish I could at least see a video of it on youtube. I've been searching the internet for 3 days and haven't seen a single full review on the phone outside of the comments made on this particular site.

  • Who is that brand? No review, no SAR details, no real website (www.bluproducts.com), no detailed "About Us" no company contact option. Looks like as a Chinies sticker brand.

  • I have this baby, and its amazing all the android market free apps are a w e s o m e i play the piano and the guitar, in wifi surfs the web perfctly and a 3g too. Good camera, if you love like me, can download vgnette or vintage camera and take old fashioned pics like polaroid, toy box and so on. For the price are a good phone, and you can download a lot of others apps like adobe, games, keyboards, wow, the sky its the limit for this baby. ou can listen mp3 see good quality videos listen to the radio, record voice .... try it!

  • nice smartphone.

  • Yes, because it has Android 2.2 and Wifi, you can do wifi tethering. Maybe you need some aditional software in you PC.

  • can't understand your speech pattern.

  • avaibale in mumbai? pls answer me?

  • hi all ! pls,tell me! does this phone have wifi tethering? i'd like to wifi tethering. thx.

  • The specication is bad the phone not come with 2Gb sd card battery only come with 1000mah and won't last a day ram is only 160MB. android 2.2 won't play m4v file

  • hey guys is there any kind review somewhere in internets or can anybody confirm this handset's body being made from metal partly and how is the battery. thanx!

  • Yea People I from Trinidad and I find this is a bes phone but it should at least have a keypad because when it is touch alone dat will go through rel fas..

  • it works with TMobile just fine. the part that wont work with TMobile is the 3G band since TMobile's 3G network is unique. you will still have fast internet browsing speed on WIFI with this phone, otherwise if not wifi available it will use EDGE to go online. but yes it does work for tmobile.

  • It is posted on here that phone does not work on T-Mobile 3G network. Does this mean it cannot access the web if using T-Mobile or does this mean it is completely incompatible with T-Mobile network?

  • i bought a TANGO on EBay from 101 mobile, and i got it right away, good ebayer... also the phone is Froyo 2.2 indeed... im very happy with it... it is not for a heavy email user, but the android makes it much better than any other standard feature phone... also the quality and build of the phone is tops

  • The stores.ebay.com /101-mobile ebay store has it for a dollar cheaper... is this seller legit? Im thinking about buying but the resistive touch screen is deterring me from doing. Also GSM arena states it runs androit 2.1 and they advertise it as 2.2 which one is it???? . Then again $175 for an android phone

  • I got this phone from digitalsound_buy on ebay, it's worth the money, amazing phone for the price. Poor construction material though, no flash , resistive touch screen, won't work on tmobile 3g network. Battery is 1000 mH but it's good, in comparison with the Metro PCS new android phone, this thing is way better by far. The processor is really fast, the same that SE X10 mini has. Im a Tmobile G2 owner and i can tell this phone is worth the money.

  • better than SE plastics

  • great phone

  • blue

  • will this phone carry 2 sim cards

  • the phone will only be available in USA and Latin America for now, retail around $190usd, to be released in november

  • Will that model come to Europe or only in US? Any chance to see that brand in UK? looks like a good low-end Android Froyo.
