China Made Cell Phone


Recommended Posts

In a word: NO. Not worth the bargain basement prices they're selling for. Minsan nga indi pa mura eh, some models reach as high as 6 or 7t. Those are with complete features (TV, infrared, mp3, mem card, camera, etc). I bought one 3 mos ago. After 2 weeks of use, ayaw magcharge. Then after repair (out of warranty na so I had to spend for it), lasted only a month before the problem cropped up again. Then yung earphone jack, ayaw nang gumana. Finally the signal of Line no. 2 kept disappearing, so bale wala din yung pagka-dual SIM niya. So I sold it, and the prevailing price for a 2nd hand China phone of the same model in Ghills pala was just 1t, because the vendors also have to make provisions for the one-month warranty period (madalas din nasisira yung 2nd hand units for resale). s@%t stuff, those China made cellphones. I'll never buy one again, ever.

I've been using a my|phone mobile phone for the past year, and I love it. People always mistake it for a Blackberry, but it's actually very basic and no-frills (which is something I like about it). I bought it for its dual-SIM capability, and it fulfills that function exceedingly well. So that's a "thumbs up" on Chinese mobile phones for me!

your myphone must be a rare gem! very few myphone owners will say anything good about their myphone cels. i, for one, had replaced the charger twice. and so did all the myphone owners i knew. i got mine because it's free from sun. the center button broke in a month, the rubber cover of usb tore, etc. since myphone duo is dual sim (power requirement for reception and transmission is doubled) the battery has to be charged twice a day.

 

myphone's better cousin is cherry mobile. it's easy to use like myphone (expect to use almost the same menu configuration like myphone's) yet several steps easier. it's more reliable and you'll love its long-lasting battery, perfect for a dual sim

I got one too, but nawala. I actually loved MYPHONE. but the other china phones are easily broken. the nokia clone that i bought late last year is no longer working, the batt is very poor already.

Pare, what myPhone model is that? Meron kasi silang bagong labas na Q21 and Q22, both QWERTY phones, mukhang maganda yung build based on what I've seen my officemate's unit. I'm eyeing myPhone for the first time for its dual-SIM capability. May one-yr warranty naman, so siguro walang pangamba pag masira. Saka mura lang, P3,600 for the Q21.

Using a Torque DQ500 now, bought it for dual sim capability as currently working abroad temporarily. Basic phone but suffers from the usual China quality:

- supposed to have micro flash SD capability - but card lock is broken

- keypad doesn't work properly if you turn keytones off

- couldn't get computer connection to work, even contacted tech support for this

 

Will sell it off once back in PH

I bought a white Nokia N97 clone last month woth P7,200 in one of those multiply sites featured in Sulit.

 

Good news is that, it's still working!

 

The primary reason I bought this China unit is so that I can watch TV.. and I was not disappointed.

 

Here are my comments/reactions based on the "published specs"

 

Hot Spot

WIFI:802.11b/g wireless internet => ok naman sa private wifi. hindi lang pwede sa SM and McDo wifi

Slide and full keyboard design = seems better than the original one

Dual sim card dual standby = cool feature

Auto horizontal screen = auto only when you slide it out

Analog TV = can get your usual UHF/VHF channels

JAVA 2.0 = my downloaded jar seems to work naman

Bluetooth = ok naman for file transfer

E-book reader = Duh! it only reads txt files and not pdf

FM radio(can output voice) = like having a radio in your palm or on your table

Quad band:GSM850/900/1800/1900MHZ = i haven't brought this to the US yet

Support to extend TF card to 16GB maximally = in placed in 2gb...no problem

Dual camera (Back and Front Device) with flash lamp = camera is like a .9MP quality with big file size

Handshaking function:change wallpaper,change Music by switch = yes!

Language:English/French/Spanish/German/Italian/Vietnamese/Turkish/Russian

Arabic/Persian/Thai/Mahasa Melayu/Bahasa Indonesia/Romanian/Greek/Chinese = yep.

 

 

Features

3.2 inch/16:9 WQVGA LCD, 260k QVGA ; PX: 240*400 = not good in open sunlight.

T-Flash Card Suphporting,built in 19.5M memory in phone,Support TF card extend to 16GB max = internal is 80mb, the included "free" TF is 1mb only.

2 cameras/2.0 Mega pixel camera for Picture & Video capability = ok lang... i use my digicam for taking pix

Stereo Loud speaker, 64 chord ring tone = parang one speaker source lang naman siya, loud but not nice

MP3 & MP4 player = can play mp3 and mp4 not divx

GPRS & WAP connectivity, MMS Transceive = WAP is ok, MMS is not.

U disk support function to keep the information storage = what is this??

Bluetooth = ok

calendar,To do list,Alarm,World Clock,Spotwatch = ok, i can't seem to find settings though to alarm when a reminder is due

caller picture,caller Ring Tone,caller video = no caller picture

Schedule power on/off: support to start/close under set time = yes.

Alarm clock:5 groups, support alarm clock when machine’s closed = not yet tried

Games: 3 common games,JAVA games = included java games are boring. only downloaded JAR files will work

 

 

I bought an N97 screen protector from CDRking. I had to trim the top portion and make the button hole a bit bigger.

I discovered that I can use it as an external HDD to my dvd player and run my divX files while charging!

 

There is no software to sync with my outlook contacts. Has room for 1000phone book contacts aside from the 250 contacts on each phone.

 

If your contact has multiple numbers saved under one name, it will only display the name and not the number he used for calling.

 

Touchscreen is ok.

The answer: Depends on the user

 

I think I bought my china phone sometime two years ago, It's an AH200 china phone, it comes with two batteries, and a headset. My friend blew up my charger while charging my phone when she borrowed it. Good thing is that, it didn't blew up the phone. I am now using the universal charger. The battery performance has never degraded since day one. It still lasts a good 5 days or more straight on my normal usage(text and occasional calls). If barangay ginebra is playing, then I do watch TV on it.

 

It is really fantastic! I can show you proof that this was bought two years ago. If I'd be looking for another phone, I'd look for the same model. The only thing is that the keys on the keypad are fading, but nonetheless, still an almost perfect phone for me.

 

Two thumbs up for china phones.

 

I dunno, siguro maalaga lang ako sa mga gadgets talaga...

I bought a Blackberry clone a few days ago.

Wifi can be activated but it don't work.

Texting is difficult because changing from lower case to upper case takes several key press.

I am worried that the dirt would get into the trackball & damage it.

The two batteries that comes with the unit lose power in a matter of hours. Good thing the unit uses Nokia batteries. Changing to original nokia batteries allow the unit to last for more than 4 days per charge.

Finally, I got this phone's wifi & opera browser to work.

 

For the wifi, just follow the instructions at:

Then for the opera browser, follow the instructions at:

By the way, the original Nokia BL-4U battery would cost you as much as P950

ask ko lang sa mga naka e71 user na china phone upgradedable ba software nito ? yung camera nito bulok sbrang labo

yung sa message tone hindi pwede personalize, pag kinabit ko sa computer ayaw basahin ng computer any suggestion besides trowing it in the trash

china phone software is not upgradeable,that was the chinese guy told me where I bought my cphone,message tone can't be personalize,direct connection in pc will not be recognize,use a card reader in adding files or just use bluetooth

 

cphone is very disappointing thats why its cheap
