Guest Maringer Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Looks pretty decent, but a pity that the Kraits are clocked relatively slowly. I'm sure they'll still provide decent enough performance, however. It will be interesting to see what people have to say about this one in comparison to Chinaphones such as the Hongmi, though that is more expensive of course. I'd perhaps give it a try but for the fact that I've spent cash on an Ovivo SIM and therefore now want to have a dual-SIM phone to use! I did (briefly) find the second SIM useful on holiday in the summer so I hardly use it, but there is a principle at stake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tillaz Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I'm seriously tempted to get one, lol i have a habit of buying phones just to nosey, then end up selling a month later :( i would want a black one though, like in this English review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jamie_w Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Not used MIUI for a while, but I seem to recall that there used to be this sort of problem if the apps were stored on the SD card. This was something which occurred with some enthusiast builds of MIUI on a Motorola Atrix. I do think that some other builds didn't have the same issue, however, so it might not be something to do with that. I've just checked the apps that have moved out of the folders and they're all the apps on the SD card, so that looks like the problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jamie_w Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Well I'm quite impressed with the xiaomi red rice. Ive got nothing but good reports for Merimobiles, good communication and they advised me to upgrade to Singapore post from free delivery due to the delays and it only cost me $8. They also rooted my phone and added an anti-slip mat free of charge. It only took a few weeks to arrive and from arriving in the UK took 6days to get to me, it was marked as a gift $30 and didn't have to pay any custom charges. The build quality looks and feels very good, the back cover is easily removed so easy access to the battery. The screen seems very responsive, and the phone for me is very fast, including downloading apps. At a push I will be able to get 2days out of a full battery charge and that includes 2days of using the music player (approx 40 mins both times) and an average days using internet etc. Here is a guide on how to root,install cwm and install custom ROMshttp://miuiandroid.com/miui-xiaomi-guides/root-xiaomi-hongmi-install-modified-roms/Here is the link to the English Cwmhttp://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/english-cwm-for-xiaomi-hongmi-td-wcdma-full-working.22953/I haven't installed cwm yet as I'm still using the installed ROM.

I searched this phone on aliexpress but it is not available yet. The specs are very good for this money. But I am sure that it will not be available for international buyers for this price. Huawei products are supposed to be of good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deuse Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) I had a iNew 2000 and it never had a update from 4.2.1. I'm so glad I now got a Cube Talk 5H now loads of roms for it. All cube has got to do is get a recovery that will do backups :) Edited December 17, 2013 by deuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisPNE Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 I received a Aoson M33 tablet from Merimobiles yesterday. 9.7 inch retina screen RK3188 quad core 2GB RAM 16GB ROM The tablet is very good so far. Merimobiles also asked me if I wanted to pay $8 for quicker delivery but I declined. It was dispatched on 2/12/13 and was dispatched overseas on 6/12/13.15 days with free delivery in December is pretty good and glad I didn't pay extra.

Guest Maringer Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Orange have been by far the worst network I've had to deal with in the past as regards customer service so I'm not surprised to hear that their new incarnation "EE" have such a mind-numbingly stupid delivery policy in place. It's almost as if they've gone out of their way to make things even more difficult for customers. Incredible, in the truest sense of the word. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bryfly Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Need to get a new phone, bored with the Vowney V5, but the choice is so big now in the Chinese phone market the spec seems good and probably a great phone, but so was the Vowney V5 until the problems arose with the GPS and Compass it was still a good phone though, even with those concerns. Sure this inew v3 will appear on peoples choice list........might be worth the wait until a few people have purchased though to see if there are any bugs with it..
