Homegrown phone brand SEVO strikes back, 1:0

Damian Koh | Jun 21, 2007

The company claims to be Singapore's first mobile phone brand and one with the latest technology at CommunicAsia. How true is it? You'll have to decide for yourself.

According to its Web site, SEVO is a "new-generation company of mobile phones, offering the latest models with fruitful features, better quality and cheaper products". Some of the handsets the company is showing at this year's CommunicAsia are the P809 and the P888.

What's interesting about the latter is its dual SIM card slots and a 3-inch touchscreen display. It comes also with a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth with A2DP support, microSD expansion card slot and functions as a USB drive.

The SEVO P809 is a Windows Mobile 5 PDA-phone with also a 3-inch touchscreen LCD plus a 2-megapixel camera. Both handsets, however, work only on the GSM 900/1800 network, which is really quite unheard of these days.

Our roving reporters at CommunicAsia spotted another brand called Scud, a China-based company offering strikingly similar products except for a few cosmetic differences. We suspect the phones come from the same OEM, but we can't say for sure. You'll have to decide for yourself.

Man this is the most useless piece of junk I have ever seen.USD 280 for this kind of cheap phone is really expensive. Most advanced technology OMG you must be joking. Most advanced spec 1.3 Megapixel CMOS camera~ hello Nokia and SE already using 5 Megapixel.It is even considered not adequate enough for today's camera phone. Final verdict Don't buy this phone,you will be doing yourself a great favour.
