Great price for a lot of phone specs wise.
Colours: deep grey, light grey, champagne
As always you'll have to put up with a long delivery time but you would hope this arrives in time for Christmas!

Sounds to me people are ordering things that don't even exist yet, like they say a fool and their money.

I agree that you can get a lot of spec for a fraction of the cost with these Chinese devices. Two points though. Gearbest currently have a terrible approach of advertising goods they don't physically have in stock and keep making excuses as to why the goods remain as processing on your account. Hopefully the EU warehouse might be slightly better. Lastly, how can you change the ROM? Not sure as yet whether there is custom ROMs out there supporting this device.

Talking about spelling mistakes on the phone box - what about this little beauty from Gearbest...

last time I purchased one of these Chinese handsets the battery was advertised as 3000 but it was in fact 1800. the packaging had spelling mistakes. just be careful and stick to the main brands

the warranties can be a bit sketchy if you buy from a chinese seller you normally have to send it back at your cost :disappointed:
of course you may have no problems and not need the warranty :smiley:

$139.89 USD = £90.62 GBP (on 18.10.15)
Thanks for your experience of the retailer. Ok so at the moment there are no ROMs out and I'll change that piece of advice. Here's hoping there will be though

If it's popular enough they'll be roms on XDA. But as it's only just out it's too soon to know if the dev's will pick it up.
have anybody actually got it in his hand or is it still pre-sale??

Agreed, been waiting a month for a tablet ordered from them that was 'in stock' when I ordered. I don't know anything about this phone but would personally only go for a Chinese phone with support over at xda.
Edit. just seen the tagline of this phone "I am who I am" - popeye the sailor man

Things are far from different in teh Uk warehouse as I've just had this experience with them in relation to the Teclast X98 tablet. It's shown as in stock and ready to be dispatched in 1-3 working days, but 2 days after ordering I emailed them for an update on delivery only to be told they're waiting for stock from the manufacturers and that they encourage me to reorder from their China warehouse instead!

The site says these ship after Oct 15, but not how long after: a day, a month .... So yes, its pretty much guaranteed that no actual users have ever seen one. Or that the production units have been adequately reviewed.
Personally, while these phones appear on paper to be pretty good, I'm not going to risk this being a turkey. I might get one in a few months provided they meet expectations, but I can't see any reason to be thrusting money into the hands of the sellers for a completely untried device.
