Simply dissapointing as dual sim phone

Feb 15, 2009

Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: simultaneous dual sim recieving call
Cons: horrible battery or rarther batteries
Opinion:
i keep traveling between UAE and Oman and it helps me to keep one mobile with 2 sim sounds sensible.But when D880 batteries fail i carry 3 all the time !And also it was tough time getting original from the dealer.Abolutely no home work done while designing dual sim phone as battery drain is can you believe maximum 4 calls incoming and out going on average time of 3 minutes only.I will never advice anyone to buy this product.I find internet also slaw.PC synch is horrible it copies names no nos how disgusting.

 

Best dual phone

Nov 9, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: dual sim
Cons: battery
Opinion:
I've bought this model just for the dual sim capability in order to take advantage from the different pricing policies between mobile phones companies.
The quality of the material is not the best but is quite acceptable. The battery cover could be much more stiff and firm. I've realised that it has a very good camera in daylight shots. The camera mode is activated really fast in this model. The camera functions are plenty and very usefull. As with most mobile phones the shots in dark place are poor. Its menus are very simplyfied and easy. I find very good the calendar and the internet browser. In addition if you install the java opera mini 4.1 you'll have a very powerfull browser, compatible with nearly every site in internet.
What I find in general bad is the battery consuption. Under a mediocre usage I've to charge it at least every two days. However there is some solutions about that.

not for use in USA

Oct 23, 2008

Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: good solid built, smooth slider, bright clear screen, dual SIM
Cons: cannot use dual SIM in USA
Opinion:
I bought this phone for its dual SIM function. Worked perfectly well in th Phils. However, when I brought it to the U.S.(Los Angeles,California), only one SIM is enabled at a time. And to use either of the 2 SIMs, you have to reboot, which takes around a minute. It seems the dual SIM function is not for the US market. Maybe it has something to do with its triband(800/1800/1900)/dual-band(800/1800) setup

 

Cool Phone. If you have two girl friend

Aug 25, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Two stimulate sim card, built in 60mb, bluetooth, 3.0Megapixel
Cons: 18.9mm Thick, 116g heavier than my badminton racket. kkkk
Opinion:
Good for using two sim card with two different company. I'm using Digi n Maxis and I can call my digi & Maxis numbers. It save quite amount of money. International call is cheaper for digi so it's good for those who makes international call with Digi and call local with maxis.
It might be little covenient if you clubbing alot.

 

okay but.....

Jul 6, 2008

Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: light, easy to use, handy, durable, scratch proof, great security codes...
Cons: limited software, no flash, not much to fool around with.
Opinion:
i had this phone for 4 months now and i accidentally dropped it 6x during this period and so far it's still working perfect without a scratch, so far the scratch proof add stand true in my experience. i had an sghi300 before this unit and i got disappointed with the software capability that is embedded within...i tried to upgrade with the similar features that i had with my i300 but i can't seem to find the right site...the files within the phone is unaccessible... it would have been nice if we can get to it. i had a problem with the no flash feature which at dark areas taking that pic is trully missed...so far the phone had served me well throughout the day... ow one more thing the dual sim secondary line would sometimes missed a text message during the first few hours of operation. but iam unsure of the reliability of it receiving the text messages the ... Read more
