CNET Asia Review

By John Chan

Very good

7.3

out of 10

View score

The good: Full Android feature set at low price; changeable covers; Sense UI scaled down well to screen size; 3.5mm audio jack; HSDPA connectivity; excellent battery life.

The bad: Small 2.8-inch QVGA display; narrow buttons for portrait-mode onscreen QWERTY keypad; many Android apps not suited for lower-resolution panel; poor speakerphone.

The bottom line: If you want an affordable Android smartphone, the Tattoo will fit the bill. Power users should look elsewhere.

Good phone, suitable size for ladies



Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: Nice touch, very smooth finish, good for those with small hands
Cons: Low battery life
Opinion:
I find the phone tedious at first but after I got the hang of it, it was ok. But limited widgets can be placed on the home screen and the battery life is short.Even when I do not use the phone, the battery will be flat in a day

 

You can only evaluate a device that you have.......if not keep queit!



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Good battery, nice Interface, Sort of High end finish,stylish,
Cons: Maybe to small, screen a bit whitish............
Opinion:
There is only one user review here, and i must say that you can only comment a device if you have bought one and played around with it , i come from a Htc Hero , which i have noticed the difference between the Tatto , but if you take both of them and compare you will notice , that the Tattoo only lacks a 5mp camera ,the screen and teflon , thats all and thats what makes this small device Tatto so special , they say that it is for the mass market but honestly i have had nearly all the mobiles in the market and this one feels really good and stylish , you got the 2 worlds in one as for the hero its a great device , but that chin it has gets on nerves every time you put it in your pocket,anyway i am satisfied with the tatto,thanks

 

Entrance level Android Phone - Mediocre expectations



Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: Price (if not more than 500 USD as estimated)
Cons: Back to QVGA ....and same known 520 Mhz CPU
Opinion:
Even no need to OWN this product when looking at the specs.
What is indeed shocking is the stupid decission to put a QVGA inside which undermines indeed geographical perception and creating pain in the ass for software developpers on Android - needing to develop different resolutions for their soft.
if at least the CPU would have been better then the mediocre 528mhz, it would have deserved a 7/10
I do foresee problems with the rubber paint if the mass product is the same as the Mockup seen. (Reminding the paint issue with the Diamond)
