The G330D looks like it has a front facing camera as well. That's what it looks like in the picture anyway.

basically looks like the phone the G300 should have been

[RussellS]

I've just noticed that it a WCDMA phone. Doesn't that mean it won't work in the UK or am I thinking of something else.

wcdma is what we need in the uk, that's what the g300 is

Ah, yes. It was cdma I was thinking of. There's to many acronyms floating about, I get very confused

have to add Customs charges on I suppose [unless you are lucky and it slips thru']

its free delivery and since its only £130, and is not a heavy item it should avoid customs charges in the uk,

iv had a few similar sized and priced things from china / Hong Kong in the passed without any charges, just delivered to my door like normal

bare in mind things from china can take 3 weeks to arrive...


they also have the zte mimosa x (u970) for the same price (£132) (1GB RAM version)

Any thoughts on this vs Acer Gallant Duo at £149 ?

[Davidoff59]

It would be VAT that would be added on by customs which is based on its value, not its weight

think most people hear already know my opinion on phones at the moment lol

looking at this the Acer is the worse choice since it says single core, plus it uses an older CPU (MediaTek MT6575)

that's why i said since its only £130 (no customs)... any way i have orderd stuff from china up to £140 and not had to pay a penny, just delivered as normal
unless they paid the import VAT when sending it... (waived if the amount calculated due is less than £9)

all info on customs can be found here
