Where did you buy from and how much did you pay? Also battery seems small for a full hd screen how does it last what sort of screen on time do you get?

[Guest RicardoABCosta]

I bought it from Antelife.com and it was around 270€ + shipping. Today I would buy it from the zopo stores in europe. Would save me the trouble and costs of DHL procedures with portuguese customs.

 Although the battery is a "small" 2000mAh one, it's life is quite good for the phone. In this first days, as usual, you don't give any rest to the phone and dispite of that I get more than one day of battery life.

The screen is getting 2% of usage in the battery. Since Im messing around a lot with the phone, the usage time maybe ain't accurate. I'm having 2% battery usage for the display and 44m 19s of screen usage - again... since Im rebooting and pulling the battery quite often, maybe the stats aint accurate.

I'll give you some more accurate stats later.

Hi,

Maybe this screens will help with the question





Not bad, don't you think?

Im using a lot of text messaging, a few phonecalls, good amount of time on wifi, ocasional 3G (mostly at work) and a lot of goofing around with the phone, daily.

[Guest RicardoABCosta]

Hi,

As before, the battery life ain't looking bad at all :)

Another bunch of ports made by Marsapa, from Italy.

I'm running V15 (a zp990 port) and it's super smooth and fluid. Aroma installer gives the possibility to repartition the internal memory up to 7Gb. Awesome.

Have a look:

I guess we are going to get a nice MIUI v5 rom :D

Actualy, there are some MIUI roms for this device out there already but they are still very buggy.  Lets hope this marsapa MIUI port works as the other ports do = charm. :D

What is the cost of that one? Is it good or not? In Israel, this one is inexpensive. I just need to compare.
