Best DUAL SIM android phone?

Hi Times8,
I can purchase it for around 135 Euro here in Ukraine!
What about its root? Did you receive the root rights for your 1310?

Hi Genna,

That's cheap! Wow!! But does it contain Android 2.3? Mine has 2.3 instead of the standard 2.2 version.

If I understand correctly, it's only 2230 Yuan ~=260 euro or $350.

Do you know if they can ship the phone right now? Etotalk thinks it will be available in 2012, which is kinda far in the future.

I asked my chinese colleague to translate, and she said they have 5 available. So not a large quantity. Maybe these are pre-volume-production types? In principle one could order it via taobaonow.com which will add something like 10% but will ship to the west. However, customs may add another 25% here in Holland if they not let it slip through.

Hi anyone experience with the w7272 or the b86m? Thanks for sharing!

I have had the w7272. Was a bit bulky (150g), but running smooth; gps was a bit inaccurate (ok for driving but not ok for walking), wifi was very fast and good. Battery ran out just within one day. However, biggest drawback was that market was not installed, and I did not succeed installing it. So I sent it back. This may depend on ROM though

I performed a simulation in taobaonow webpage and the final price was US$ 545.42 !!!!!
 
Another new phone with the MT6573 chipset. The upgraded version of the G11i pro, the G14.

Positive points;
-Android V2.3.4
-3G support

Negative points due to MT chipset: you can't receive a call when you are using 3G.

The iDream G20 looks likes a nice phone. Fast cpu, but still android 2.2. I'm wondering what the original brand is, or if there are other clones who are a bit more famous :P.

Edit: updated the wiki as well with the popular G11i pro and the new G14 to have some MT6573 phones in it.

it contains Android 2.2, but as far as I know, only Froyo is official version.
Gigabyte haven't released Android 2.3 update for this model yet! What about guaranty in your case?

By the way, Cherry Mobile has released new rebranded model Cherry Mobile Stellar, in original, that is Gigabyte GSmart 1345

I have this phone since one week. The battery life is one day an a half. No smartphone battery lasts longer.
The market version is 3.3.11 and it was updated by itself.
I'm running a customized ROM 2.3.5

Hi pirracas,
Do you use 3G connection on this phone? In my case, battery life depends on wether I use 3G or not. When I use it for push mail, the battery won't last 1 day. When I don't use it, battery lasts several days.

Market version = 3.3.11
Rom version = 2.3.3
