"Stop comparing this to a name brand... the support you will get is terrible..."
Do my eyes decieve me? Is this actually the hard ocp forum where people hack shit to pieces and push their systems (and their bucks) to the limit because why the hell not?
Wtf has happened to this place... I...
Sorry you got a bad one, but very encouraging that the phone is awesome!
I've been doing a little research and many Chinese phones are running the miui ROM, which is very popular and probably has more users and support than cyanogen mod because 1 billion population in china :).
Funny how...
JoeUser:
Thanks for ordering and reviewing this! My real curiousity is going to be if CyanogenMod r ASOP can build on this. If so, long term software support is no problem! But if it's at least stock android, there are a lot of options.
It seems like a lot of people poo-pooing this are...
@entropism:
I agree with you. But one of my Samsung phones has basically no support. It technically had a warranty, but they have released no hardware drivers and it is hard as hell to build a custom from for it.
So if the Chinese manufacturers release full sources, honestly I don't care...
Sad to see what looks like just one negative response from someone that actually purchased a Chinese android device, and about 8 saying "don't do it" with nothing but speculation...
Really makes me want to check cm10.1 and see if it will work on one of these guys....
Specs look nice... 3100mah battery is great. For that screen size, would be nice to see a bigger extended battery available. (i have 3800mah on my 4.3" phone)

I put everything up on Ebay. No more bumps from me, but if you PM me I'll send you the link to my auctions or end auction early if you buy it. Prices for [H]'ers are better :).
All the hard drives (3.5 and 2.5) are good and I've just re-zeroed them all. Anything that didn't pass a write/verification pass got disassembled and the platters are now on my fridge.
I do this because I don't want to sell a bad drive, but also because I don't want you people pulling my data...
Update: Everything has been sold. Nothing left.
Everything must go and this thread will be updated as I sort through and take pictures.
All prices are shipped USPS except hard drives.
All parts are good, passed prime95/memtest86, and were used to play a last game of starcraft this morning...
The 'no flash on iOS' thing was never about technology. It was always about content. Where would Apple's revenue be if all that App Store content and all those games were freely available on the web?
As a happy Apple shareholder I'm glad the way things turned out.
Also keep in mind that...
