Until we actually bought a few from the 'Phone Supermarket' down the road in Barkly St, and took them home to play with. This ended up being a wise move as we could then return them easily, which would have been a hassle if we got them online.
They are nasty, nasty pieces of work, not just bad but offensively so.
The Android operating system has been beaten up so badly it can no longer function, you start software and there is no way to actually quit. Neither is there a built in way to stop the programs running(you need to download an extra app for that, which I couldn't even manage to do).
My camera worked sporadically(the button to take pictures never actually worked, I had to change it to touch the screen to take shots) and I spent probably three or four hours just trying to get things working.
The software that installs on your pc to manage the phone is even more annoying, with a terrible interface and things like status bars which don't actually reflect your status, they just flash(similar to some microsoft programs).
It drove me mad, and Stefan had similar issues with his phone.
The next morning we returned them for the Samsung Galaxy S, which although a little more expensive has proven to be a great phone - everything just works out of the box. We also have had some difficulty with so-called 'unlocked' phones still being locked to a specific network.
