I have upgraded the rom to WM 6.5 beta in Thai(changed to English) am useing the SBP Menu. i dont thing i need anything more from the phone in this price range. the only good thing that could have happened would be that it could have been a little thinner by compromizing the TV tuner maybe (never used the TV thing)

  • if any one know how to connect i120 to pc plz mail me on [email protected]

  • Hello Balaji From where u got that digital antenna, Can I bought it online. I am from Aizawl, Mizoram, North-east India.

  • I agree with you. I have also upgraded to WM6.5 and am loving it more than WM6.1. also WM6.5 has so many more features.

  • i am using 6.5 because the dialing in 6.5 is very efficient. it starts to inclusive search as soon as i type while 6.1 does not use the abc search mode when i type on the keypad.

  • Hi, I am using i120. Excellent phone. I have done all the research on this. Finding excellent. Also tried 6.5. But as the display is small, 6.5 is not convenient. using 6.1 now. Pls remember, this phone has analog tuner for TV. Hence digital antenna will not work perfectly (bought digital antenna and I am getting only doordharshan (only one channel). But this antenna is useful for FM radio, as FM needs digital antenna. let me know anyone needs any assistance on this....balaji from chennai

  • Hi Ravinder, i want the antenna, from where do u know its expensive. Please tell me where to buy it. i am from India.

  • Is it worth getting the antenna shown in the picture? It is quite expensive, so I want to be sure before I buy it. Or should I use any other external Antenna instead?

  • Better not buy this phone now.. BSNL has introduced 3G and this phone has no 3G.. So please go for the model with 3G.. If you want to use GPS and like the accelerometer, better go for a higher version... eBay India has many phones of Gigabyte listed... You can get a good model for 9k...

  • You better change the adapter if the microSD card is working with other phones.. Please switch the phone Off and turn it On after you insert the memory card..

  • Well you dont lock the phone with the Lock/Unlock on Today Screen.. If possible remove the unlock option using the Today Screen Editor.. For locking/unlocking the phone, you can use Switch On/Off button.. Just Press it like a Single click.. The screen will get switched off and acts like its locked.. Press it again to switch the screen On.. But the problem is the screen will get On if you get any Msg or call.. that time its a bit problem..

  • If u enter the Settings manually without the wizard, you can access internet easily.. 1) You write down all the data the service provider gives. 2) You check what all the inputs the phone asks for setting up internet connection.. 3) Get other data and use it... My phone is working with Reliance GPRS..

  • I have installed 8GB MicroSD using a Micro2Mini SD Adapter.

  • Internet access is very complicated and no one knows the solution including mobile service provider..Shet..shet shet.....

  • GSmart i120 supports 1gb alone

  • hey how to unlock the device without using touch screen?

  • My handset was bought in Malaysia as a present from my friend. The phone was working with my BSNL and Bharti Airtel numbers. The only thing is i couldnt dial or send msgs since the screen was locked and i couldnt unlock it the normal/usual way. Eventually, I did a system reset by pressing the flag and ok key together while switching on the device. But now, the phone hangs at 'align screen' and i just cannot get past that. What could possibly be wrong? Is there any way it can be rectified? Thanx

  • Hey quicksilver, Could you please tell the link of ROM UPGRADE

  • It is built in. Select smart keypad form the input option from the bottom bar. Keep * pressed to avail option in this mode

  • HI. I am using the same phone currently and I am as curious about WM 6.5 as you are. After doing some research and after conderable amount of browsing, I found out a Worth link for WM 6.5. BUT LET ME TELL YOU THIS IS A BETA VERSION AND HAS SOME BUGS. Above link is the page where you will find some problems about beta versions. This is the link from where you can download WM6.5 BETA3. HOwever I recommend wait for the final version and if you insist on tring out, make sure you have backed up your data and settings by inbuilt software like POCKET GHOST or any external software

  • Hi, Can you let me know the site, from whcih I can download WM6.5Beta? thanks in advance - balaji

  • Hi, My i120 does not sense memory card. what could be the problem (i tried micro sd with micro-mini adaptor-tried both 2 and 4 gb) ANyone to help me....thanks in advance--balaji

  • depend where you are located. if you are in India try baazee.com that is ebay.in search for gsmart you will get a vendor called bombaymall i gotit from him

  • guys.. i've upgraded my gigabyte to WM 6.0 but i cudn't connect to the internet since they weren't my country in the GPRS Wizzard..cud you help me guys.. FYI im in Indonesia..

  • Can any one guide me wether I buy Gigabyte GSmart i120 or not? What is your recomandation.

  • Ok the network problem was the problem of the service provider - Reliance - were in the maintenence mode. But during this process upgraded the Rom to 6.5 beta and am very happy. windows beta has a cpu profile function with a power saving mode. also dialing is fantastic - for someone who was asking about using the alpha search while entering the number. 6.5 does it fantastically. All in all upgrade is highly recomended. only take care that the upgrade that is available on the net is windows 6.5 beta upgrade for i120 in Thai language. though you can change to english once the phone starts.

  • soory buddy i respectfuly diagree with you.you are not used to windows mobile i think! it is for grown ups and business users.boys can play around with nokias and others so guys grow up............

  • download and install TCMP with codecs - search for TCMP and you will be able to play much more than 3gp divx xvid mpg etc....

  • Ive been using it for a month maybe. the phone is fantastic. for the price range - got it for Rs. 5500 (free sd card 2gb). there seems to be a little problem with network. the phone is a little less sensitive then the other one i have. though there is no problem if the signal is good. Battery is good, i get around 2.5 days of standby with the smaller battery (you get two batteries with the phone) i am contemplating trying a rom upgrade to windows 6.5. still it is value for money - never used the TV thing though tried it and works ok, never used the FM radio. i would gladly have sacrificed the tv tuner and fm for a thinner piece still all in all it is a great piece

  • This phone is a mere waste of money.Battery used to be good in the beginning but after 15 days of use they do not hold a charge for more than 2-3 hrs on standby.The phone also does have signal problem, unable to catch tower in low signal areas.Same with the FM radio to much of hissing when using the phone indoor,sometimes not able to catch stations.It just a horrible phone,there is a seller from Ebay "Bombay Mall" who is selling this phone and dont fall into the trap and buy this phone.I have a mail from gigabyte saying they are not selling this phone in inida and hence we would not gat any support from the company.Spare battery is not available in any of the local shops in Kolkata, only option is to buy again from ebay and rediff the same seller "Bombay Mall".Basically I dont want to waste another Rs 400 rupees on this piece of junk. If any body has got new batteries froms somewhere please let me know.

  • thanks but you don't understand my point , i want to know that how we can type in English language or any other language using the keypad built below the screen???

  • ======================== ||| using the keypad ||| ======================== start composing sms goto body part where u like to input text hit the kaypad icon @ bottom center of screen. now hit the ARROW tat just apeared on icon's right side.... choose SMART KEYPAD now the keypad will type in dictionary mode to change between T9/ABC/123/symbol, keep the * pressed this is not a normal mobile fone... its a WM based PDA & its working exactly like any other PDA would... so those of u complaining, definitely dont have prior experience with WM/PDA & by the way, u sud kno where to place yr complain... instead of complaing here, pls place yr complains @ the follwoing URL for a REAL solution... no point shouting in public forums...

  • if u already found the manual, goo, else tell me for help. I had a similar problem

  • my 1350 its not taking any pdf reader software if anyboy has the link for that plz send me.....

  • Yes, use the minimal power settings, and you'll see the difference. Although the battery back up is not up to the mark but you'll see slight improvement.

  • Sorry i forgot to tell you how to save the battery life. Go to Start -> System -> Backlight -> Extended, make both Battery Power and External Power lowest. This will definitely works. Just try it. I am waiting for your opinion.

  • It's battery is not bad. Its work for 32 hours. It is sufficient.

  • thanks for reply me boss just chk it yaar ill change three battery but same problem

  • @ Abhishek & ashish I am using this phone from past 4-5 days, i won't say battery is very good but still it does hold charge for a day or so. Let me use it for some more time & i'll update battery situation. Well, on the whole i would say its an ordinary phone, looks fine on top but is very thick (20mm). Pretty stable i would say & sound quality is above average.

  • Plz help me with wifi... i want to use internet on my i120 with wifi connectivity, it connects to the wifi but when i open Internet Explorer & try to open a site it takes me to a Cisco SESM PDA Application page & asks for a user name & password. Obviously, its not asking my wifi password bcoz that i have already used while connecting to wifi network. Other devices also aren't able to use wifi connectivity :( Plz help guys..

  • Just bought one form ebay India on 18th June.The phone is not holding charge with either of the batteries.FM reciever cant detect signals, in Kol or Mumbai.Sometimes when you make a call and end, the network goes for a while.This is a piece of junk..dont buy this phone.I wonder how come the ratings are so high.I have lost rs 5,000 buying this phone..now I have to buy another phone!

  • my battry gose down pls help on this ill buy this on july, in first its work good but now what happ. i dont know ill check all setting pls quick reply

  • boss ill also same proble what can u do pls tell me mine phone also doing same problem first week its working good when i use too hard but now this will automaticaly go down without doing anything

  • If you were in India... Tv wont work even with antenna. U need to connect through external antenna and see the TV.

  • I just purchased the phone from Ebay..... seems to be nice no problems....and works great... but i have no antena to check TV.... where can i get 1 ????? Pls.........

  • Sameer, ebay i mostly safe if seller is good. So ultimately it depends upon seller. Use PaisaPay only to pay to seller,it has very good buyer protection program. Currently 2-3 ebay sellers have listed this phone,all look good.

  • Can anyone tell does it has English Language?? And windows mobile 6 on phone? is ebay safe for buying phone?

  • DLink is providing support for Gigabyte phones in India. Go to Dlink website, get their office number in chennai & call them before you take your phone to them. Me too planning to buy it from ebay. I hope the seller is not selling all junk pieces there...

  • Since your phone is under warranty, you can seek replacement. Write to them stating clearly all the problems you are facing with the phone and ask for a replacement. If they do not respond in 15 days, approach the Consumer forum in Chennai and lodge a formal complaint by attaching the copy of the Bill, warranty card and a copy of your complaint. Don't give up because its your money and you should not end up with a defective product.

  • The standby time of 125 hrs is actually very low compared to other mobiles in this category. This is precisely the reason why they are throwing in a spare battery. What you can try is to discharge the battery completely and then charge (i.e. wait for the battery indicator to be zero before charging). repeat the charge discharge cycle several times over next few days. Hopefully the battery life should improve. One more advice. never leave your phone connected to the charger when the battery is full. This reduces the battery life. Normally people tend to charge the batteries overnight. But the modern phones need only 2-3 hours for charging the batteries.

  • You can download it from Adobe site.

  • The PDF reader is not installed in the phone by default. Any one tell me the site where I can download the PDF reader free of cost to read the files with .pdf extn.

  • I have a list of questions to ask. Here are they: 1. I just purchased Gsmart i120 mobile in EBay on 12 July 2009. For the first week, the battery is ok. Now the battery duration is pathetic. It automatically gets heated up and within 2 hours, it drains completely without doing any work in it (Not even attending the call). I do not understand why it is behaving like this all of sudden. I have rebooted and reseted the whole and set everything in default. However, there is no improvement. 2. I am not getting TV while using the headphone as Antenna. I do not have the TV antenna included in the retail pack. Therefore, I am not getting analog TV signal even in the open air using the headphone provided. Please suggest me where I can purchase the TV antenna or tell me how I can improve my signal using head phone. 3. Is there any service center in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. If so, please provide me the address and contact number, so that I can check there for my future queries.

  • Hi Sandy, Please find three options available in the message typing screen, Send in the left, An keyboard Icon with an up arrowkey in the middle and Menu in the right. There u press the up arrow key so that u will get the pop up. There u select smart keypad for using your key pad. Try using others too. Have fun...

  • Thanks a lot.. It works:-)

  • Please reboot once and see if there is any change or reset fully

  • mu language is rusian, hov i cheinge language

  • Rest the phone on a table , with the display facing your body & the card slot on top . now open the card slot ; using a finely focused torch/ flash light beam check the RIGHT EDGE of the card slot .You will notice a TINY plastic HOOK with a spring underneath . when you insert the miniSD card this hook is pushed down and USUALLY stays down ,so that the card also stays in place . However in my phone IT didn't stay put ;but popped back pushing the memory card outward .I just pushed the hook down with tiny screw driver ( you can try with a tooth pick ) all the way down ; and it stayed put . Then I inserted the mini sd card ;now it remained in place & I closed slot .The phone has detected the expansion memory & is working fine . Stay focused and use steady push down with a small instrument . good luck .

  • upgrade to windows mobile 6.5. It works great. You can get the thai version on the beta3 rom on 4shared. The link for the same is available on mybestpda.com

  • This mobile sometimes hangs up. at currently i m facing this prob. So anybody has the solution for this problem

  • I do not understand Seetharaman... could you please eloborate it a bit so that I can understand...

  • I too faced the same prob . Look into the card slot using a flashlight ; on the right edge of the slot ( with the mobile facing you ) you will notice a spring loaded hook like catch . This hook does not fully slide in to allow the mini sd card to settle in the slot . I used the tip of a tiny screw driver to push this hook down fully. It stayed in place ; then I inserted the Mini SD . It stayed in place & the mobile is storing my data on the card. BE CAREFUL & Don't damage . Try using the tip of the pen also.

  • I am unable to insert the mini sd card. I have inserted my mini sd card in the adapter and found that the size is bigger than the space given in the mobile... Any one pls help me.

  • Do you guys know if there are any external keyboards for this model on the market - like chatboards in sony ericsson - or can I use chatboard on this model ...

  • hi acctualy this phone has lots of problems:the stylus is too weak and break early the back light of key works just about 4 seconds the key design is not good because you cant work with the analoge key well battery become empty soon the camera is lower than 2 mp and doesnt work weel the tv is full noise and it doesnt work when you move and at the end me as a owner of one i120 tellyou never buy this phone.

  • It's not true that this phone have only 500 names in phone book. This is unlimited because they have a outlook. Same is for call log....Unlimited incoming, outgoing, missed and dialed calls.

  • Hi. I have found the image quality to be ok compared to my friends Sony phone (not sure what model but its quite new) Take a look at some of the pictures taken with this phone. Taking photos at night is not as good compared to some of the Sony / Nokia phones out there but after playing with the settings you can get some quite good images. There somtimes is a bit of a delay 1-3 seconds after you hear the camera shutter sound before the image is actually taken some photos can be messed up because of this unless remember to keep the phone still. Sound quality - This was a real pluss with me. I had an XDA II before this phone and the sound was nothing compaired with some of the new MP3 phones. Now with this phone the sound is good / loaud , lacks in bass somtimes but has settings to correct this. Pros - Good PDA phone that looks like a phone Screen is good in sunlight good sound good camera Wifi, BT, TV, Radio Speed of application - good very good battery life + comes with spare battery what sucks - Wifi detection after new firmware was installed Long time for Blue tooth to find devices Keypad - could be a bit bigger Keypad software - Texting on a Nokia is much better unless you use the touch screen. TV reception could be better - Takes a long time to find stations (ok when stations are saved)

  • Hi everyone.I'm interested in this phone but I haven't yet made a decision to buy. I ask ones who own this phone to inform me and other friends like me about some issues and help us make a better decision to choice our future mobile phone. 1.how is it it's camera pictures quality in comparison with other 2 megapixel handsets like sonyericson p990 or nokia n73? 2.how loud and clear is it's speaker in comparison with other well known mobile phones like nokia n70 or nokia n73?

  • I have upgraded to the latest version .84 Turkey and am now having problems with the WIFI. The list of access points will show for a few seconds then disappear even though they are still in range and the problem never happened with the old firmware. Even connecting to Access points which have the settings saved are intermittent, I have to turn off and on the WIFI to connect. Any one else have this problem??

  • Dear friends would you plz give me a link including some taken pics with this phone's camera,i want to compare them with p990 taken pics and mabe replace SE p990 with this i120...

  • I am rather disappointed with the purchase of this GSmart PDA due to the following reasons: 1. Ever since I bought the phone last month, there are numerous occassions where I did not receive incoming calls. My guess is the problem may be due to the Windows OS crashed/hanged as I don't even receive "missed calls" notification. But what is the cause of the device/OS crashing so often? 2. When the phone is on speaker, the receiving end seems to be unable to hear the conversation clearly (ie. very soft at the receiving end). Why would this happen, especially when the volume is turned on full++??

  • I have so disappointed from this product.i buy this product from America from Phone souce-usa .its reception of tv tuner and radio is too weak.It does not work in Islamabad ,where the tv channel is exist.

  • Does anyone knows if there is an upgrade to windows Mobile 6 is available for gSmart i120 anywhere? thanks for the help.

  • to farzad can you tell me,how you upgrade your phon firmware? which keys i must use,i cant find the "send + end + power key " at step2 in tanks for your reply. i live in iran too,plaes give me your phon number.

  • Guys ..don buy dis fone frm Plemix...it sucks...no service and failed to give the packaged contents

  • To Bull: All Symbian 9.1 phones suck and yet Nokia and SE are insisting on it.Gigabye might be a newcomer in phone business , but they sure have managed to design a very workable and stable device.

  • This brand is not specilazed in producing gsm phone or pda as well as Nokia, Sony Ericcsoon or Blackberry so I dont advise you to buy it.

  • hi guys, i bought dis phone...its gr8...ne ways i have problem i lost my stylus wanna abuy a new stylus but i'm unable to find it...pls gimme the linx... tried in plemix, CTI Miami..ebay..

  • Hi Donni Thank you for your enquiry about my problem, it was very kind of you. Just to test, I hard reset my i120 and again, the "Smart Keypad" was working. The first program which I need to install on my device, becuase I live in Iran, is Pocket Arabizer (I'm not sure if you're familiar with it) which consists of approximately 6 or 7 programs which install one after another automatically; of course, you can choose to install them individually. One of the programs which is installed with Pocket Arabizer in an input method which allows you to write Arabic (or Farsi) text. When Pocket Arabizer installation finished, I noticed that again the "Smart Keypad" began to malfunction. I suspected the input method to be responsibe for this. Do you think that the continuous installation of the program caused the problem? And it was just after installation of Pocket Arabizer that "Smart Keypad" malfunctioned and no other program was installed.

  • HI, fazard and all others, i'v made an entensive enquiry into your problem (smart input malfunctions after application installations/ or general system instability) . It appears these things (problems) MAY occur if many applications are installed directly on the phone memory within a short time or simultaneously, however after many reboots most get corrected. Its recommended you install compatible applications one after the other and at least leave 3-5 mins before installing the next. That greatly ensures stability. AND prevents you from experencing these problems. Where possible always over right applications to the memory card that is if you have one installed and applications are not primary

  • To Donni Hi Donni, Thanks for your reply, I upgraded to the latest version (.84 Turkey) as you had said in one of your posts. And yes, when it started to download, I pluged in the AC cord. "Smart Keypad" was working (although not so satisfactory as you work, for example, on a Nokia keypad) when I upgraded, but when I installed some applications, it began to malfunction. I think if I hard-reset my device, it would work again, but I want to have softwares on my device and I need it to work with other applications on my device. Thank you again ...

  • TO FARZARD What version of the firmware did you upgrade to? And did you plug-in the AC cord as you were upgrading? Reply and let me know

  • I recently bought a g-smart i120 I upgraded the firmware and so the "Smart Keypad" showed up in the input methods ... Somehow I didn't like the Multi-tap on it so much but it was better than not to be able to write any text with its hardware keyboard. Then I installed some programs and when I wanted to use the "Smart Keypad", it simply doesn't work. When I want to write and I press a button, it's character appears with an underline but when the underline is supposed to disapear and the character is supposed to remain, the character itself disapears and so I can't write any character at all !!!! Anybody had the same issue?? Can anybody help please??

  • SAEED nevermind saeed, thats the way gigabyte have chosen to have things. The 1.84 for turkey is the latest version "for the english world" its just about semantics. I highly recommend you update the firmware to this version.

  • To DONNI: I Agree with you on the illumination case.However my biggest problem with it is actually the keyboard layout and the fact that because its seems not logically designed(the 4 way cursor keys are moved to lower right corner) and since the backlit keys turn on only when u press a hardware key and remains on for only 2 seconds, I found it very hard to dial in dark conditions.However as u put it, its just an extra. I am learning new things about the phone daily. The lastest CON is :The phone doesnt have a SIM manager, therefore you have to copy your contacts saved into your sim one by one. And about the site u mentioned to upgrade, there is no World english upgrade.

  • on the keyboard illumination. Since its a full touch screen pda, the keyboard is a typical "BONUS" thats why Gigabyte do not place emphasis on the it. This phone screen is brighter and vivid than the so called 16m colours in certain phones. To all those not having smart text/keyboard/input? and running english versions update your firmware to 1.84 english at the phone's website. The firmware update not only corrects smart input but also increase battery life span and many other enhancements Applicable versions can also be updated where appropriate

  • TO SAEED: Good description indeed this phone may look cheap to the masses but nevermind, beneath the looks lies one of the most powerful phones on the market today. Certainly at top of current on the market phones on gsm arena. Its a pity nokia and sony ericsson ardents are not seeing and only looking at non exlusive metal cases! lol!

  • PROS: 1-Very stable pocket pc (no hangs or reboots) 2-Better than average Camera 3-TV tuner is amazing 4-Answer machine 5-good speaker 6-very fast bluetooth pairing 7-many useful features CONS: 1-cheap looks 2-very small keyboard with bad illumination

  • my dear friend if the phone is useless to u then throw it in the bin! Update ur firmware and ur pee will be solved.

  • to: robynmks Thanks you for telling me.. but hehe i still dont have that money to buy... *sob..

  • I just purchased this i120 phone, and it would be a really great phone- except Smart Input is NOT on the phone. Its listed in the manual and on the box...but NOWHERE on the phone- so the phone is useless to me as I bought it for entering text via a keypad (like on my p910 which i LOVED!) My version has a Taiwan keypad plus english. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know what I can do to get some kind of predictive text on this phone?

  • TO EDISON: the difference is that the I120 is a newer version with better performance. The TV and Fm in the I120 are recording enabled but the I128 merely broadcasts, Also the I120 has about 240mb free internal memory for users while the I128 HAS ABOUT 90mb free internal memory, other features as wise talk, zip and smart input are not in I128. So basically the I120 is better than the I128

  • Nokia can kiss my behind.The problem with this phone is it is not available everywhere.If it was then nokia would bite the dust.Nokia N95 has nothing to even match this phone if only the 5 mpx cam and then what is the use of the 5 mpx if you got no adequate flash.N95 is going for 800 euros and this puppy is going for 500 euros.You choose but read the specification and you will understand that you are buying a nokia just for the name and nothing else.

  • can anyone tell me(i wonder) whats differen between g-smart i128 and g-smart i120, 120 seem better.. thanks

  • truly some of us are making a whole lot of fuss and wow's about the nokia's and co whiles these guys from asia are way way ahead!. How do you even compare nokia's flagship(N95) to this one! lol incomparable, remember folks this one was even realeased in december. its time the big names stepped up!! big-up gigabyte. i only wish i could find it here in the UK!

  • i hope someone could send me this nice phone...my dream phone hehe.... - pinay gurl

  • Interesting why they don't add the t600 specs and pics, here in gsmarena(and not only on this site).. Maybe cause it's better in multimedia tha any other PDA.. Almost all of the new phones, showed in Barcelona has been added, but the t600 not.. Interesting.. Also just mantioned everywhere..!!

  • this phone has been released in malaysia for the price of RM2.2k, very affordable for most ppl here

  • Just to let you know guys. I am a musician and the polyphony means how many instruments it can handle simultaneously. The songs I make for the radio stations are not more than 32 polyphony!!!! There is no need for more!!!!!!!!!!! It is just a stupid marketing thing. Please tell everybody who doesn't know this!!!! Using more polyphony will end up with a chaos.

  • this phone is too good, i wish you start marketing it in Uganda, we shall be gratefull

  • Did any one buy this phone yet? If answer is "yes" then can you please write some reviews about perfomance, design and featuers? Thanks

  • look smart mobile.mostlikely will be my favorite phone in 2007.Last year I published A previous model at my site.(www.bestphone.co.nr).The desing of this phone is very classical and selective. Expecting Gigabyte`s penetration to Turkish Market (more than 50 million people using mobile here)If comes,I WILL BUY...

  • I love your concept. Please start marketing in Nigeria. we are tired of Nokia and SE. This is the best phone ever.

  • Selling in Moscow for 800$(20990 Roubles).

  • the best phone,definitely..i will buy it for christmas

  • every thing is there - But honey where is the GPS SirfStar III.

  • Well, Gigabyte you have already sold one mobile... its really ture if u bring this mobile to pakistan market it will rock.. even if the price is little high, as i`m thinking to replace my imate jasjar with this model.... 10/10 to gigabyte

  • doest it work in Germany for the TV Tunner app?

  • yyy dont thes people promte there phones r thay siseeee gal this is da boom plz gsm areana plz tell thes people to promote there brand i will indeed like gsm if it will n plz asia pakistan first

  • I think gigabyte should promote in cambodia cos mobile phone is very popular now . G

  • Can somebody tell me the difference between G smart 120, G smart 128 and G smarti? I mean the features. To me there is no difference between them.

  • A Serious advise to GIGABITE you should start markiting in INDIA if you promote yor products nicely here, you will get turn-over more then you get from whole world just grab a star celeb and hit the TV adds if you are already in india then you need to change your markiting stratagy very badly seriouly, yuo are different from others NOW JUST PROVE IT TO THE WORLD

  • i ave dis phone and im tellin u it is de best phone in de whole world. its like an advanced pc and de internet is exteamly fast wid msn messenger and yahoo messenger!!! its de best music phone and de best buisness phone!!! de only thing bout it is its camera which is not 2 bad. and de phone features r de best as well as de battery which is very long lastin!!! it is de best phone in my skl and im de only 1 who has it. im tellin u buy t and u will luv it!!!
