Every phone has Skype support, even the G300 so why wouldn't the G330 get support

I meant for video calls

I have just ordered Newman N1, is better and cheaper then G330.

[Smiff2]

ah really! i was considering a G330 from Germany for £145 ish, decided its too much, would get another G300 for £100 (also slightly too much now imho, its same price as 6 months ago).
for £100 i'd def. buy a G330 now. it comes with ICS so even little ROM support for a while shouldn't be a big deal.

[grizzlyflea]

I've seen the Newman N1. It's really good for the price, but apparently it feels really cheap and tacky so I decided to get a Jiayu G3 instead. It's pretty much the same price and same specifications, but the build is really good, probably similar to the G300 itself. I think it has the second generation of gorilla glass too so I presume it has good build quality

ok, that phone is £160 from the site you linked in other thread, add VAT and handling you're looking at £200 for a phone with no support that's twice the price of the G300.

Maybe some body would like to dip a toe into the Chinese market? Here's a G330 for £115. Adding faster postage so you can have it delivered before you die of old age would raise the cost thou

£200??? Are you talking about the Jiayu G3 or the Huawei G330? BTW the Jiayu only costs around £110 + maybe 10 for p&p and that includes accessories like a case and bumper case.

I'm positive about this info as my brother purchased the Jiayu G2 from fastcardtech a few weeks ago. It came in 7 days to the uk, and cost about £5 + £8 service charge for delivery. The phone itself was like £90 and came with a free case.

The phone came in good packaging, so it has lots of foam and bubble wrap to keep it ok.

Same here.If it really does come out for £100 it will be a bargain

[JRow]

hmmm,do talk talk actually sell any phones sim free ? cant seem to find any atm.Just free or cheap phones on monthly contracts

[Mrtransformer124]

i need someone to confirm the PAYG price

[Smiff2]

everyone is saying £100 but i'll believe that when i see, as G300 is still £100 here and G330 is £150 ish in Europe.

link to Jiayu G3 for £110 please? i must be using wrong sites..

[Hans Gruber]

I don't know where trusted reviews is getting £100 sim-free from as Engadget has posted the full press release and they only mention Talk Talk contracts

http://www.engadget....rough-talktalk/

Unless Huawei has told them different I think that price may be slightly wishful thinking

Yep,i cant see talk talk doing any sim free deals on this phone ,never mind as low as £100. Cheapist import i've seen is £140ish + shipping

[SuhiJr]

G330 has chip with two MSM7227A cores at 1GHz and Adreno 203 slightly better then G300.
For me is bed that no support for HD video recording an "only" 512MB of RAM

[ADROW]

I like the look of the G3, might have to give one of those a go in the new year.  Don't think I would buy another Huawei phone.

[Urbanchina]

Purchased one from ebay UK seller cost £160+ £6.50postage. I highly doubt is going to cost around £100 mark for a sim free unit. When it launched in Germany last month, it cost €199!

[Smiff2]

problem is at 150-160 it's up against the Galaxy Ace 2, from a better known brand.
G330 needs to be around £125 (ideally £100) to be a success in UK imho.

[Urbanchina]

Samsung Galaxy's a better phone? Look at this comparison. I would say they are very close. The bottom line is... Majority of consumers always go for the better name. Huawei is still new in the smartphone industry. But I think they will out beat other leading brands very soon with the quality budget style. Remember when HTC first launched with android, we was like "HTC"? Today they are know to majority of consumers.
