the specs dont look that good. the mtk6577 cpu is good, but 512mb ram is pitiful. it hasnt got the 900mhz band on 3g either. all in all, id say its worth about ?100, but much better phones can be had for not much more money

i decided to give it a go and get one i have had it a couple of weeks now and it is the best dual sim phone i have ever used
here is a mini review based on a 130 quid phone please remember its not a galaxy 2 or 3
good bits
signal strength is good in dual stand by
android 4.02
hd video 720p recorder gives good results
capacitive screen is flawless
built quality is very good for a Asian market phone
plays flash video no problem
dual core cpu is quick
the built in fm transmitter is good to use as a hands free through car radio
works well on Skype with dual cameras
2200ma battery last around two days if you hammer the phone and leave wifi and gps on
comes pre rooted and unlocked on both sims so no problem sticking in my work and holiday sim in the additional slot

not a lot that i do not like with the phone apart from no flash on camera but for 130quid from uk supplier my opinion is if you want a dual sim phone
