Hi,
Don't forget the FET T8888. I'm writing this message with it. Opera + Swype makes browsing pretty good. It's very stable, and after a few app updates, the apps don't crash either. Dutch language is supported including T9, but all Android phones have that I guess. Good luck choosing your new phone!
-Got the phone here.
. It also misses a led for indicating stuff, like a missed message. But ofcourse... there's an app for that (NoLed).I think we've got no choice. I made peace with it.If it first have to get to computeruniverse, then to ViewSonic, then back to computeruniverse and then back to me, that will take quit a lot of time I presume.
I doubt it can be fixed, I don't think they are gonna put a new screen in it either. Or it must be a problem with the graphics card or something they can solve by flashing it or something like that. So I think they are gonna send a new one.
If it's a problem they already know about (maybe the reason why it took them so long to get it on the market) and they know they can't fix it, maybe they will tell computeruniverse to send a new one right away.
But a new one will probably have the same problem, unless our phones where part of a first bad batch and the new batches no longer have this problem.
We'll have to wait and see...
Huawei U8520 has appeared on Australian eBay (BRAND NEW HUAWEI DEUCE U8520 DUAL SIM UNLOCKED BLACK ANDROID WIFI MOBILE PHONE | eBay)
I asked the seller about this mobile and got the response:
"We would like to inform you that Huawei Deuce U8520 is genuine huawei's device and this device use 1GHz CPU.
-Got the phone here.
-Both sims are active in standby. So you can receive phone calls on both sims without problems. In contrast with the V350, you can receive a phone call while surfing the web. What is not possible is to receive a phone call with one sim while having an active call with the other.
-You can't select different ringtones per sim. A work-around would be an app which defines a ringtone to a number. This is feature I miss a bit for new number calling me.
-Yep, no issues. You can combine two sims which use same network as well.
-The downside: the speaker for calling is not loud enough. Well, you can hear everything clearly, but I would prefer more volume. You should also use the phone on your left ear, since the microphone is on the right side. Some Chinese design flaws I guess
I seriously like having just one phone instead of two

Cool, could you share which are your favorite apps for dual sim usage? I use GoContacs to maintain two groups of contacts, and Calender Pad to access two Gmail calenders. Still looking for a nice message app with dual sim support. Hope you can give some tips
.Multitouch and screen calibration are perfect. Battery life depends on the number of apps active on the background. For me it started with 2 days and is now less than 1 day, but I have way too many appsHi specs and review seem nice, I have just three questions for T8888:
- is multitouch ok?
- what is battery life?
- Is screen calibration OK?
Thank you so much in advance.

(over 70 now, of which a dozen is active).did you sent yr phone allready back to computeruniverse ?
Any idea how long this will take ??
I sent mine back last Friday. I don't think it has arrived at computeruniverse yet.
I've got no idea how long it will take.
is not available i will not be sending it back untill it is ! Cool, could you share which are your favorite apps for dual sim usage?

Btw, the rebooting issue is probably caused by an app that crashes. Did you install an app that needed root support?

I don't use facebook, but I just downloaded skype to test the setting for you. You shouldn't put your skype account in the android account settings, but in the Skype app. It remembers your setting and you can sync with the app.
Doesn't work for me. The cpu is not fast enough they say.
, for me android is intuitive and easy to understand as i tried it few times when playing with some friend`s android mobiles and tablets. I have now WM 6.5 and android is winner for me.Hi everybody,
I'm reading this thread since june: I was waiting for the wonderful VS350 but it seems to be a flop.
As time goes by, I'm now thinking to buy the FET T8888, BUT I've some doubts I'd like to clarify before buying it:
1) I know ZERO about android, I'm not a geek and don't wanna compile a single line of code. Is an android mobile ok for "normal" people ???
2) What is the BEST (finest) video resolution for this phone ?
3) Can it produce HD video ? If yes please specify (i.e. 1080x720i 30 fps or something else).
I'using a dual sim since 3 years, I have 2 GSM sim (no 3G needed but nice to have), and this phone seems to me the best choice available now, BUT I don't wanna get mad, crazy with android / linux problems: thus again my main big question: are android phones usable by "normal" guys ?
ThanX in advance to anyone who answers me, and congratulation to this wonderful forum community.
Ciao
When the phone (again)
If I do, i am afraid it will take months to be replaced like the last time...
It is working, the line is just not a pretty sight...
I first wait what viewsonic Netherlands will advise..
