Hopefully it will have a more affordable price point. I just wish it was a Nexus device. In fact I wish they would come out with a 3″ screen device (or smaller!) I don’t want to surf the web on it, just use it as a hot-spot, personal data access, occasional messaging. Everything else I’ll do on my Nexus 7.

Many will buy this phone. I work in the USA and East Africa and there is a need for products like this. That is why some Chinese manufactures are doing well. They understand the world market. Not just the Western sector.

Awesome
The kill the CPU and offer a crap screen. Yet another craptastic android device!
