Gigabyte GSmart S1205 - User Reviews

  • Hi, I am using gSmart S1205 since 3 years after a fair upgrade to my favorite GSmart i120. Now the touch screen is not responding hence can't able to use phone. My many important files are in it. Can any one please help retrive my phone or provide me the service centre particulars. I tried in Bangalore SP/SJP road. All said the perticular 'touch' is not available.

  • gigabyte does not deserve a cent of our money!

  • murcury is software for taxis so a handset can be used as a mobile booking and dispatch terminal for drivers. i think the murcury software must be writen into the hard reset procedure or unaffected by it. shame as i was trying to reprogram some with our taxi software for a customer.

  • murcury is taxi software. the handset used to belong to a taxi company. murcry probable had the handsets made with there software incorperated into them. and into the hard reset procedure.

  • I bought this phone from a friend, and it seems to be stuck on some sort of "Mercury" operating system. I've tried the hard reset using the volume up, camera and power button but to no avail. I then tried the other way, which is not even possible in this operating system. Please help.

  • Hi, I use this phone for a year and would like to share with you my experience. the phone was bought in Prague. In general the phone is good, GPS work well without problem, I don't use all the features of the phone because I don't need, however it is good that its exist. The dual-sim use is very convenient. However the phone has some disadvantages. First of all, the screen is very gentle as a phone. The loudspeaker doesn't work well, you can speak and the other side will hear you but you cannot hear anything. Secondly, a few month ago the phone began to quench by itself. An addition, the are almost no accessories for the phone and this is frustrated. But if you looking for a simple dual-sim phone I will recommend this one

  • mine was brought to me in another language how do i change it into english

This is after half a day of using-I put it aside and returned to my old phone.Waste of money.

  • See Here:

  • Check this out...

  • Hello all. My location is Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and I terribly want to purchase one. My 2-year old Samsung D880 is about to retire as I hope to use a new one with GPS functionality. Could anyone please guide me on how to purchase this unit given my location? I tried gigabyte website but my location is not included there..please help thanks!

  • in g smart FM record is not working it is bug or feature of the high value mobile???

  • Hi Sunil, I assume you've installed the application on the memory card before upgrading?.. So you need to reinstall the application, because all information within the operating system (windows mobile) about installed software is gone. I hope it helps.. Adamski

  • Loaded Google map. It works. However, don't link to GPS. Need to download other SW package to use GPS w. Map.

  • Hi, I have purchase new Gigabyte GSmart S1205 and it was working fine. But after up ROM upgrade Mapmy India is not working. All the data is available in Memory card but application is not available in system. Please help me how to recover this application Mapmy India. Thanks Sunil

  • World Leaders in Motherboard. That would be enough to say about the Brand

  • how can i change a language this phone

  • any one who can help me to operate the GPS, in detail please

  • Your proposal(forward unavaible calls from one to another)is clever and simply aktivate the "not available" SIM :))

  • I am skeptical about brand. Can anyone me company details and how reliable this brand is ??

  • hello ppl ! anyone using push email on this phn? The one i am using does not have an option...though it says it has push mail on website..replies? thanx

  • Plz help me, where i can get it Bangladesh. I m really existed abt this phone.

  • Hello ppl, its a gud phone I have been using it for a week now. I was initially skeptical about most reviews on S1205 battery performance. Now I must say its pretty impressive. Not that agree with few reviews here but its lasting 3 full days for me. my usage pattern is > both sims actv 24hrs > Telephony 100 - 120 min a day > Gprs/ internet 20 - 30 min a day > mult med aps 30 min a day > Nav/ Gps not daily though I must say this is a best potent WM phone i got in last 7yrs whn it comes to bat power. Get on for yourself :)

  • hi buddyz! I got mine just last weekend. pretty decent phone..not entirely perfect but amazing value for money. navigation software and GPS works amazingly accurate. I got a qtn though...do we need to always use SD card on which maps/ Nav software is provided? can i not copy it to the device memory and install higher cap SD card?? anyone??? thanks in advance :)

  • yes my friend..its available in Mumbai now..let know if anyone needs one. mapmyindia nevi software and maps on 2gb card included :)

  • This is only dual standby this mean that when you are using one sim the other is off. When you are colled on the second sim (doasn't matter whitch one) the coller will heard that your phone is off. You can only forward the calls from one sim to another. Because of this I don't have the phone anymore. I used also DX900 from Acer, but was the worst phone ever.

  • I have heard a lot about the S1205 and I intend to get one soonest BUT I need someone to assure and confirm that both SIMs will receive in-coming calls simultaneously while switching may be required to initiate a call from a particular SIM.

  • simultneously - NO But you can forward unavaible calls from one to another and you will know who's calling

  • pl let me know if u can receive calls on both sims simultneously like in all samsung dual sim mobiles or its just that u receive only one call . thanks bina

  • ork, can you pl clarify if r u able to receive calls on both sims simultaneously, as in samsung dual sim mobiles? i have this doubt as u hv mentioned its not dual active mobile.

  • Has anyone got an alternative to this but with 3G aprt fromDX 900 that�s too bulky Im basically looking for a phone that is 3G / Dula SIM / Windows or Android Not too worried if its not branded just need the features All 2cents recommendations are appreciated with link if any.

  • In my opinion you're getting very much for the price of this phone: - two SIMs handling - OK - GPS - OK - Windows/Outlook sync - OK - Email Client, WIFI - OK - user interface - OK - music/mp3/radio - OK - camera - enough - compact size of phone The biggest disadventage is no 3G - but if you use only Email client it's OK I don't see now other phone with dual SIM (maybe Acer X500, but it's not sold anymore).

  • simply good

  • Has anyone tried Google Maps on this phone m.google.com/maps

  • @Dre

  • does it have skype application on it?why is it not 3g compliant?

  • Will this fine phone work in Nigeria?

  • where is yur location? this phone might not work in my location

  • I've had this phone for about a month, and here are my experiences/replies to "Ork": 1. Never had that problem. 2. The battery - I was amased by the long battery life. Until now, I've had to recharge at each 10 days. I use Wifi sometimes, but always turn it off when the work session is over. Also, I'm my experience this a low/mid-end phone. However, if you need 2 SIMs like me, AND wifi, spype and camera, there are not many alternatives. 1. CPU is slow - yes, by todays standards it is. But it's on par with my previous phone, which was the HTC Diamond. 2. Back button - yes, I miss that to. It would be nice if the "sims settings" button could be changed to that. Maybe it can...(?) 3. SIM2 button is missing on some selections. SIM1 is default, and sometimes one have to go a long way to use SIM2 on a number/contact. 4. Camera - average to low quality, no autofocus. - Agreed. Fairly ok resolution, though, but you get what you pay for... My 2 cents...

  • I am having some problems with this phone - wonder if anyone else has had these problems: 1. When people call me sometimes, they get 'phone not switched on' message. On my end, I receive a message - 'you have a missed call'. The phone has not been used at all in this process. And the mobile signal is fine. I noticed this kind of problem with the fake chinese phones, but out of clue why here. 2. The battery - sometimes it will last for up to 5-6 days (with small number of calls), normally 3-4 days. At some times, without any further load (programs, calls) it lasts only for 10 hours? In my experience, the phone is so-so (maybe because I came across a defective one, I don't know - other users seem to like it generally). On the bad side I would put: 1.CPU is slow (especially with several programs on); 2. Software adaptation - not well-tuned. (The most irritating one is the lack of dedicated 'Back' button, which will go back only one step, not 'back to the start menu'. Really frustrating.) 3. All contacts call from SIM 1 by default. It beats me, why SIM 2 contacts can't call from this card by default. Also, to call from SIM 2 in contacts, you need to open a Menu and choose from there. The two buttons (Call SIM 1 and Call SIM 2) should be on every screen where contacts appear - tried to write to Gigabyte about that, but the English version of their site doesn't seem to work - if anyone has a contact point, please post. 4. Camera - average to low quality, no autofocus. Aside from that, the phone is o.k. - if you don't expect too much for this price. WiFi works fine, other users have been happy with the GPS too (have not tried it myself). Battery life is fine. The phone is not dual active SIMs, but that is indicated in the specs. It is fully compatible with WinXP,etc. (although it will not sync without 'MS Outlook' - this is not the 'Outlook Express' mailer, installed on your PC, it is a different program - confusing name mix) Read somewhere that an there is extra software, which can be programmed to your liking - if anyone has info, please post. My two cents...

  • Can anyone tell me how to get the original rom? I have a corrupt update and would go back to the original rom.

  • What can I say... great phone, great battery life . I totally agree with Mr.Adamski. The two Sim cards are working properly and the GPS also.

  • plz can you write the SAR as a standard in the phone finder ?

  • Some comments about GPS feature on GSmart S1205 I am using IGO8 software and it works very good with this phone even with 1GB memory card. But if you wont to have a lot of maps it is better to use 2 GB memory card. My only remark related to GPS feature is the fact that if you change screen orientation to landscape IGO8 does not work properly. Also before you start IGO8 for the firs time you should set software port to COM4, baud rate to 4800 and hardware port should be DISABLED or IGO8 will bring out message "GPS device not connected"!

  • Some words about the battery life... I've been using this phone for about one month. Currently I need to recharge it approx. every 5-6th day.. My "user" profile: - talking time: 10-20 min/day - 1 SIM online 24h/day - 2 SIM online 8h/day (5 days/week) - Bluetooth connection (car) 2h/day - Internet 1-2h/day (Email/Opera Mini) So... I'm far away from saying the battery life is poor.. Adamski

  • Could you please send us exact model of that charger? Thanks

  • Please any ideas where I can buy this phone in Nigeria? Thank you.

  • Could you please explain with more details installation procedures and parametrization of IGO8 for S1205. Thanks

Is this bug get fixed in new s1205 rom upgrade available on 15-7-2010 at www.gigabytecm.com/eng/s1205? If it does not support Dual Active Calling then it is of no use of dual sim.

  • WHAT??? are you fron Czech? I bought mine from Czech in english. Why would you buy from China when it's right there next door to you?

  • Received Gigabyte GSmart S1205 with English interface on Thursday. Good functionality, but will take a little getting used to. Compact, well designed but did not arrive with local power supply (via ebay - China) but the it looks as though my old Nokia chargers (AC & car) work fine. That's a winner! Very happy ... at this stage

  • only one thing favours this fone, quand band in both the sims..other than that, fone isnt worth buying..

  • Hi there Is there any chance to change the lang to English?

  • This SPB shell version is only Chinnes and Rusion language. Is anywhere English or Czech version?

  • looks cheap,design lines is fine but bad details

  • here :

  • Hi, can someone HELP me: how can I wake-up GS1205 by any button (not only by on/off button) ????

  • S1205 hasn´t problems with Parrot 3200 or 6200. Phonebook you can synchronize with parrot. On display is only one network and when you set call by parrot, call will be connect by SIM1. There is no problem with pick up call from SIM2. The sound qualities are same for both SIM cards.

  • New update for this model on gsmart.com Change list: 1.Fix Facebook icon image incomplete error 2.Adjust volume from side Volume key under FM mode. 3.Modified busy tone too loud issues 4.Enlarge FM volume

  • Yes it works without any problem with my JVC car kit!

  • Why nice design phones has poor features and poor design phones has good features??? :(

  • Has anyone used S1205 with a bluetooth carkit? Maybe Parrot 3200? Are both SIMs available to the carkit? Can you press the bluetooth to pick up a call originating from SIM 2? Is the phonebook transmitted to the carkit?

  • Hi Adam battery life depends to high extent on functions operating specially wifi and blutooth. if both are runing all the time I guess you have to charge every night. you can turn any sim off from the wireless manager.

  • Is there any expert who know how get SPB mobile shell for 2SIM from instalation ROM for ACER DX900?

  • Speedshop/Hungary s1205 is shipped with english interface

  • You can try on ebay: or wait some days - I think the phone will be available in more and more (online-)shops worldwide.. Regards Adam

  • Thank you for this info... Switching off one of the sim at anytime is a must-have for me... I'll get my Gsmart this week (hopefully), so I can test and compare with my old Samsung. Hope the system is stable and the battery strong enough.. ;-) Regards Adam

  • Yes, It's possible to switch off SIM1 or SIM2 anytime, if You open the wireless manager.

  • Has this phone have features like Wisetalk and Answering machine, Block list like Gsmart i128. And how long it can play music with fully charged battery.

  • Hi, the behavior with the redial is unfortunately the same on the Samsung SGH-D880. I think the Sim1 is the primary one and it's taken if you push the hw button. Can you tell me something about the battery?.. how many days without reloading?... Is it possible to switch off one of the sim cards in the system? (example: after work I want to switch off the business card, the private one still works..) Thanx for your help! Adam

  • I have been working with this phone foe a week now.In addition to its elegant look,it has wonderful operating system many application can be uploaded from the net, some of drawbacks in my opinion sound is low, redial always go to sim1 even if you made your last call from sim2 which is un convenient specially when driving I really prepare it to have bottom number instead of touch screen would much easier to use.

  • You go here www.aliexpress.com

  • Hello, is is possible to switch off one of the SIM Cards during the runtime?... I currently have the Sasmung SGH-D880, it has a small button on the left side to manage the Cards. I have already read the user manual and could not find a similar function for the GSmart. Thanx for help Adam

  • From Hungary the language is English too...I think that if you buy from Russia it will be in Russian language

  • If You buy it from Bulgaria the language is WWE(World wide english)

  • Please supply contact details to order the same phone

  • I'm wondering what the language of user interface is, if I buy this phone from, let's say Hungary, Bulgaria or China online store. I can read English, but not Hungarian, Bulgarianor Chinese. Thanks.

  • Dear Friends, The phone is fine. there is a GPS module inside and works properly with cracked GPS porgrams which eats the battery in 3-4 hours but with car lighter adapter everything is fine. It happens that the phone blocks for a while and should be reset.

  • I have ordered 1205 on internet directly from manufacturer and expect to have it within one week so I cant say too much about the phone yet, but I can put my experience on GS people frankly they are professional, and helpful.prompt response. I'm waiting FedEX delivery

  • Do you know where can I buy it in the Netherlands???

  • Question for owners: How work SIM2? Is the volume of SIM2 consistent with SIM1? What about data? Support this device MMS together for SIM1 and SIM2. I have Samsung D880 and this is bugs what I hate. Thanks for your answer...

  • Been using it for 2 months now. I`m delighted!!!

  • I have this phone and the GPS is working super whit IGO8

  • GPS function: it was a time for me too to learn using the GPS in the phone: but you do not have to do anything special. Anyway, It works only outdoors, with good sign for me - bat then it is OK. First I used some programs from the Windows Marketplace (Endomondo) and I downloaded a little CAB file "GPS Test" from the net to test it. Now I use it with GPS program (IGO 8) and it works nice - I did not have to make any spacial configuration. IGO 8 needs all the memory, so you have to exit othe programs. A love the looooong battery life of this phone :)

  • Check this link

  • hi ppl, hunting for cougar 1205 in India..anybody know a source? thanks in advance

  • It is nice and practical, except that I just can`t find GPS function. Does anybody knows how to engage GPS? The Manual does not say a word about it.

  • I'm living in France, and I purchased the S1205 on Speedshop; it was delivered within around 1 week via GLS parcel service. Warning: even when clic on English flag, most parts of Speedshop website remains in Hungarian. Unless you are fluent in Hungarian, Google translation will be of great help. After registering, I placed my order, and... it's all. It seems that online payment failed. To clarify the situation, I called them on the phone (they have one english speaker), and they sent me a copy of the invoice via PDF, with IBAN information to proceed with a banking transfer. I guess other payment means like Western Union would have been accepted. The price is really fair: 220 EUR plus 15 EUR shipping fee. It worths it! The device is working perfectly, including dual sim features, wifi, bluetooth... I received it 24 hours ago, and did not got enough time to test all possibilities. Of course, ActiveSync configuration is tricky, but it is due to ActiveSync and WinXP, not the smartphone itself. It seems that some advanced USB connection features are not supported by ActiveSync on XP. Tip: on the device connection menu, go to "USB to PC" tab and disable "advanced network" feature. A quick guide (paper) is included in the box, but it is in Hungarian :-( However english PDF docs are downloadable on gigabytebcm.com :-) In summary: S1205 is an excellent product, with fair price but the purchasing procedure on Speedshop may be tricky.

  • Thank you arden. Has anyone found it on a reliable online shop that ships abroad (apart from speedshop)?

  • Yes, the dual SIM function is working real time, absolutely. You can choose which card to use for call or SMS, you can see SMS for Card1 Card2 or both etc. Pretty cool

  • Question to the owners...Is dual sim function working ok?

  • Anyway, I bought it in Budapest too, and I like it very much. Speed is OK, absolutely cool, GPS only works outdoor for me, WiFi is cool, dual sim handling is cool :) The volume problem seems to be with the sim card, because only one of my sim cards (pannon/telenor) is quiet. I try to get a solution for this at the provider...

  • If you find this phone too quiet in call volume, lets write like me at this address to the Gigabyte support forum: Anyway, I like it very much

  • I hope you'll post a review as soon as you'll get it...Thanks in advance!

  • Yes, thanks. I've been among the first ones who bought the phone from Speedshop (Budapest, Hungary)! It's a pain that I have to wait until next Tuesday to really touch the phone, because I'm currently abroad, so my wife was tasked to get it.

  • I think Speedshop has devices now

  • Anyone else think the CPU slightly underpowered?

  • Ok thanks

  • Contact the importer for your country. They will take measures.

  • Hehe, my 2 years old Omnia has better specs then this one =/ shame, it's really good on the eyes..

  • Hi I have a problem with the phone battery is brand new and the first charge must be at least 10 hours but five minutes the phone stops charging and the light goes out???

  • Thank you for reply! So is worthing to buy!

  • Very good device with WM6.5 Battery life is very good too- 5 fully days with normal usage. I recomend it for all who wants to have an excellent device with very decent price.

  • Yes, It has internal GPS receiver and works very good with iGO and Garmin (cold start 3-4 minutes, hot start 20-30 sec.)

  • default is on COM 4 , baud rate 57600

  • On Youtube on russian video is am moment with menu and in left side of screen is an GPS icon. translate the word from under icon ....is mean -OUTSIDE GPS SO I do not think anyone has this phone in hand!

  • So until now neither one of the owners know or not if we are dealing with a real GPS receiver? I'd like the answer for this question? By the way and I repeat this question, what's the battery life? (one answer is not enough for me :))?

  • Thanks, I've done it. E-mail has been sent.

  • Thanks for the info, Nicky. But I've already known it. I'm Hungarian and I'd love to buy from Speedshop (the Hungarian reseller). I know them well, I bought my two previous PDAs from them. But they still don't offer this type of PDA phone (only some older Gsmart phones)! That's the problem! To be honest, I don't want to wait some more months. I'd need the s1205 quickly. Any solution?

  • Great! You could solve our Q Is an internal GPS on 1205 and if YES how is working? Thanks!

  • I have one S1205 and in my country (Bulgaria) it's available from 06.04.2010. I've purchased it from Vali Computers for 198 Euro.

  • I was checking that link and they still waiting for....Expected:Release-Date: June, 2010....so i do not trust that link! any owner can help?? PLS!

  • Please advice, which country you would like to purchase. For Czech, you may contact with ELKO, for Romania, you can contact with Omnisoft. For Hungary, please contact with Speedshop. We will have a Poland distributor soon.Thanks.

  • Still looking......:(( For more detailed specs access this link: Over here i saw some weird thinks like Expansion+Interfaces: microSD, microSDHC, TransFlash, SDIO Supports High Capacity (SD 2.0/HC) memory cards with capacity of up to 32GB (!!!! from what i did read about 16 GB is max !!!! ) and at the Satellite Navigation Built-in; GPS; module: Supported !!!!!! WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS????? HAS IT OR NOT???? GPS_Antenna: Internal antenna Complementary:GPS;Services: Assisted GPS, Quick GPS, Geotagging from my opinion maybe there is a GPS receiver (i say MAYBE, but i'd like a confirmation from an owner) but they didn't installed a navigation software.

  • To Ghici33....did you found something sure about GPS? Anybody who owns an 1205 can give us an feedback about GPS? Or maybe an Gigabyte employee?

  • I've got one of those for one of my customers, i own a computer hardware shop, call it after customer request, get it from Vali Bulgaria (yep, i'm bulgarian too) - nice phone, not perfect, but solid, works well, design is not bag, handling too, latest software and for that street price here - amazing value, if i need new phone - it will be this one, been loyal to htc for last 3-4 years, even longer, my first their phone was 'qtek', none of recent htc can beat 1205 in value for money game

  • For those who want to find some of the Gigabyte sellers in their country (Bulgaria, China, Czech Republic, France, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Nigeria, North America, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom) should acces this link:

  • I've found only one European firm where s1205 is already available: it's in Bulgaria (www.vali.bg). But they don't ship abroad, I think (don't understand Bulgarian...) So, if someone KNOWS ABOUT A RELIABLE INTERNET SHOP THAT SELLS S1205, PLEASE POST IT HERE! T would badly need that phone!

  • Where to buy it? haven't found it on the internet. How is the camera quality?

  • Right......GPS-Suported!???no internal GPS?no navigation software? ON user manual is not mentionated GPS!

  • GSMART 1205 has an incorporated A-GPS/GPS receiver or an external one that connects through the bluetooth connection? I'm willing to buy one of these PDA only if it has an intenal A-GPS receiver that can be disabled to use the regular GPS. I searched online for the manual and they do not say nothing about the GPS or the navigator software.

  • Standby is 5-6 days. I`m talking a lot on it- most of the time connected via bluetooth to a headset and I talk two or three days before recharging. Personally I`m pleased with the battery life. It has no problems syncronizing with Outlook. I personaly do it at least twice a week. After all it is with Windows Mobile operation system so you get all the bonuses of it. :)

  • I really need this phone.....Can some one tell me how to get this in India....is someone ready to ship. Thanx

  • The battery life is a very good. In normal of usage 3-4 fully days.

  • Question for the owners: What's the battery life in normal conditions of utilisation?

  • Does the Gigabyte GSmart S1205 sync with Microsoft Outlook?

  • I have the phone for one week now.... It`s really fast with the applications, GPS, internet browsing.... So really the CPU is enough to do the right job.

  • Whohh, guys! What do you want from a Phone?! For this thing a 416 MHz Cpu isn´t so less, Nintendo DS has a CPU speed of about 133 MHz and is able to manage Skype with the huge ammount of 4 MBs of RAM :-) I think it has much power for a mobile phone or respective PDA. (Think over that the first mission to moon was calculated on two C64...)

  • its from gigabyte corporation :)

  • G from Gigabyte, Smart from smart :)) GSmart :)))))

  • what does this brand ever mean?

  • Add 3G to the specification and this phone would be excellent. How sad they forgot to add this feature.

  • The price in Bulgaria is 195 Euro.

  • Gigabyte`s phone S1205 has been officialy launched in Bulgaria yesterday. I got it and it works really great. :)))) thanks Gigabyte!

  • keep doing your job gigabyte u rock forever

  • sorry friend, not to offence. to be frank, china phone are suck so far! i m using it, really suck. if you are not in hurry and money is not concern, suggest you guys wait.

  • Where are u find to buy this phone? Please give us a link please.

  • Yes we can

  • The acer is not hugh all for what it can offer you. Also, you must belive me in youre will drop very fast, like what happened exactly with the X2 and Satio, he price just wait a little bit and it will go down. But if your like me and can't wait any long to have the best love of her ife and carrier!! Then It's time to go with the offer and i will support it because of the great challenge.

  • Hey, I wanna know that where did u buy it?

  • Seem to be a good devices for country like india. the specification seem to be decent, taking into consideration what's sold in India. Gigabyte definetely is a quality concious company, i have been using their MW700 for a year now, without any problem. Would definetly like to explore S1205, once its available in India.

  • Out!!! yesterday I bought DUAL-SIM+Windows Mobile6.5+GPS+WIFI+WVGA+256MRAM PHONE QOOL T5388+, for Qoolcomm.com, it is better one!!!

  • GSMarena should forbid people to post opinison when drunk :)) Anyway this phone seems like a good solution for Dual Sim , due to tha fact of the OS :)

  • LOL dude, he's being sarcastic.. XD

  • holy crap!! w33kend has the 4G iPhone!!! do you have anymore?? i want one!

  • Guys :)) I have connections and was able to get an engineering sample of the phone ;)))) Please post opinions when you have actually tried the phone with different applications.

  • ROFL!! super awesome funny comment from Dimitar Actually made my day!!!! BTW this phone doesn't sounds like a really good phone , i know it's not released yet but i don't think a 416Mhz cpu and 128mb ram would match the WM 6.5 , and if someone is looking for a Dual sim phone i strongly recommend the dual sim chinese phones , yeah the material is not top notch but for a little price you get lots of options.

  • Or perhaps he/she has bought one of those Dual/sim smart phone clones that are littered all over ebay. i do like it how peeps keep on commenting that they have such and such phone, when they are not even in the market yet. Oh well back to my iPhone 4G Extreme / limited edition . . . . .

  • I think dimitar...started using this phone before it is released!! great!!

  • i'll admit the specs don't compare well to other smartphones but with this being a quad band dual sim phone, it blows away the samsung b5702. i know because i have the b5702 and i'm planning on selling it. i do wish, though, that this would be 3g US also but... eh, maybe ill hold off on dual sims til they offer 3g US.

  • What?? 416 MHz processor and 128 MB RAM for Windows Mobile 6.5? This is completely rubbish.

  • I`m using this phone for 2 months now and I have to say that it`s amazing. It`s super fast, the two sim cards are working great and the GPS module is great. Keep the good work Gsmart!

  • bad very bad!

  • true. even the ram is dissapointing. 128?

  • looks really nice but specs are disappointing. not even 1/2 ghz cpu?
