First off, is the Alcatel AK47 (what a stupid name) the same device as the Alcatel OT-986?  How are people's experiences with the site android-sale.com?  If they are legit, £193.60 is a great price for a device this powerful! Too good to be true? I reckon so, thoughts and opinions please

Shame it won't cost that much here in UK after adding what-you-ma-call-it TAX & VAT on top... We be looking at least 250£... So the ZTE Grand X from Virginmobile will look more appealing to us in the UK!... Just my opinion!...

Thanks a lot! Works fine on OT-986. No more ROMs on China forums?

[the_crevis]

Thanks for all the info magikstar29! was the service from android-sale.com good? I ask this as the reviews of them i find on the internet say not to trust the site, which is making me very reluctant to purchase this device.

[magikstar29]

for android-sale:
-> i have a good communication with Shine Wong
-> i don't received the device for the moment

RQ024770476SG    27-08-2012   Arrived at overseas (Country code: FR)  
  
wait and see...

[magikstar29]

I just received my OT 986, it's amazing

i have updated it to the latest version which still in 4.0.3 but it works like a charm.

I dream off Sense 4.0 or 4.1 on it

Edited by magikstar29, 29 August 2012 - 11:19 PM.

[the_crevis]

Thanks very much for the info! I'm seriously thinking of getting it now, just need to scrape the money together, and if i do get one you are likely to get sense 4.0 on it because porting roms is the only thing i can do (to some extent )

[magikstar29]

i have bought it for €246.35 and now it's selled at €284.25 on android-sale
