Guest Sebastian404 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 No msm7227a devices come with sd cards That's an interesting marketing feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hecatae Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 That's an interesting marketing feature HTC Explorer and LG Optimus L3 are examples, neither have micro sd cards included, both are MSM7225a and MSM7227a devices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon Steele Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Does this have FM radio? Not vital but it'd be nice to have. It sure does - The volume through the speaker is very low on mine, even at full volume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tilal6991 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 It sure does - The volume through the speaker is very low on mine, even at full volume Cool. Yet another feature :P The volume just needs to be tweaked by the custom ROMs which I'm sure are not that far away. Now where's Paul with superboot and CWM recovery?... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PaulOBrien Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Adobe Flash support? BBC iPlayer working? (thanks for the quick answers - really appreciated!) These SHOULD work, i've not installed yet, i'll update here when I do. Any benchmark results? As above! :) BTW Paul will you do an overview video on Youtube? Yes, as part of my review. Does this have FM radio? Not vital but it'd be nice to have. It does! are you going to do a full review paul? Yup! what colour is it, the image on the box is the black version, but I thought it was the white version that was available through Vodafone? Silver / white. Hi! Does it have a front facing camera? Thanks Kihon No... How good is the camera? I have the ZTE Blade, and the camera is my main disappointment - the pictures are just consistently terrible. Is this one good enough for pictures on the web or even some real snapshots? It's the stock Gingerbread camera app, i'll post some camera samples in a bit. Did anyone get an SDCard with theirs? and did it have anything on it? No... Cool. Yet another feature :P The volume just needs to be tweaked by the custom ROMs which I'm sure are not that far away. Now where's Paul with superboot and CWM recovery?... :P Working on root. ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon Steele Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I know its replaceable but is huaweis skin actually any good compared to the likes of sense and touchwiz I think the skin is quite nice with cube style transition between the screens and minimal messing with the interface. One big menu button in the bottom left which does not appear movable. The weather clock is very nice although does not appear to take a location via GPS you have to tell it where you want the weather details from. Power control bar is like most but very colourful, I like it, has control for wifi, BT, GPS, Auto-sync and brightness. The icons in the menu seem quite big, down to resolution? I don't know. Very clear though. Screen brightness was set quite low out the box which worried me a little until I adjusted it. Hope that helps a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MrPuddington Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 looks better than the blade but that doesn't take much :lol:Yes, it's not completely terrible, but you can see how the noise reduction is struggling and creating lots of artefacts. But I also found some pictures in the sunlight, and they looked quite ok, so I hope that it will do for occasional pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matt4321 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 a lot of interest from the blade users (myself included), this looks like a really good buy. Hoping there will be a SIM unlock soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest putbinoot Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) what kind of headphones have people tried? and do iphone compatible headphones work on it? I am using Koss Porta Pro and the sound is good, not sure if the phone is set up for standard / or iphone wired TRS but I think it's only a problem if you are wanting to use them for calls. Although I think the audio channels are switched left to right on iphone wired headphones. Edited April 14, 2012 by putbinoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest skull_fcuk Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Is it compatible with being used as a computer? ie, with a blue tooth keyboard and mouse and hooked up to a HDMI-USB lead. I think it's called MHL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andy725 Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Does the BBC Iplayer app work from the phone and will it run Minecraft pocket edition? these apps should only appear on supported phones from the play search results. If so i may get one for my son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great thanks, to think i only bought a OMC last week and could have had one of these instead, still the OMC is unlocked and rooted. Will have to get my son one and have a play with it.
