Tinydeal.com iPhone 4-shaped Android 2.2 Cheap Cellphone p05-M89J

This phone（http://www.tinydeal.com/34-android-v22-att-t -pxil4j-mobile-vodafone-unlocked-bar-mobile-cell-phone-wifi-navigation-p05-m89j-p-41769.html） arrived days ago, and I’m happy with it these days. I think this is a super effective cell phone for its price.

The product was very well packed when it was delivered: there was a thick piece of foam pad beneath the phone for protection, and the user manual was put in a book case -- that made me feel very comfortable.

 

The phone shares the appearance of iPhone 4, except that the home key is square and the logo on the back cover is Android. It is a little heavier than I imagined, the sign of high build quality from my experience. After taking off a soft and marked protective film, I saw an unmarked hard film on the screen. There is a bubble between the screen and the hard film because the latter was not very well placed. Like other unbranded Chinese cellphones, this one is also vulnerable to fingerprints.

It takes about 50 seconds to start the phone up. Touch screen is super responsive like a real iPhone’s -- I just need to touch the screen lightly, instead of press, to see very quick reaction. The screen is capacitive, so that I can modify the vision field when playing Angry Bird. There is no sparkling or blemish on the screen, so web pages and ebooks are eye-comforting.

The desktop adopts the iPhone style and the color is very cool. Holding the square home key, I can see a page for applications I recently used – not very useful. The virtual keyboard reacts to my finger clicks very fast and accurately without any delay, and Stylus pen is not needed.

The chief defect of the cellphone is that it has no visible menu key or dial key like other Android phones. The menu key and return key are the areas on the left and right of the home key, respectively, not so professional from my point of view.

There is a funny thing about phone call. When I dialed through and choose “speaker”, no voice comes out of the speaker, but the voice from the earphone becomes very loud, clear and solid. Haha, I felt fortunate for this mistake, because I was fed up by the low phone call voice of my previous phone, which was also made in China.

Then I was afraid that there was something wrong with the speaker. But the speaker seemed even better than ordinary phones’, because the sound quality of MP3 songs was quite sweet.

Websites are opened on my phone very quickly when the mobile signals are strong. I went to KFC several times where I found the WiFi function work well. The A-GPS is able to tell the right street where I am and what’s near by (This should be considered as the advantage of Google, instead of the phone).

Preinstalled apps are too few, but that does not matter, because I can install apps downloaded by PC on the TF card. Most Android casual games can be installed and played on the phone, while some complex games run very slow, such as racing car. Once, a game stopped unexpectedly when I had to restart the phone, but that happened only once.

The phone is compatible with MSN, but not Skype. There is a comprehensive instant messaging tool named IMO Beta, where you can import all your IM directory and communicate with your friends through text messages, including Skype.

Although the phone can be well used for radio and HD videos, it has no TV function.

In general, I’m satisfied with this cellphone, which is useful and entertaining.

Tinydeal.com Chinese iPhone 4 Touch Screen TV Cellphone P05-TVI8

I bought this cellphone （http://www.tinydeal.com/3-pxikzs-p-14328.html） from Tinydeal.com half a year ago. My review is: it is a fantastic stuff of super build quality, though it has some minor defects. After all, you cannot expect a perfect product at such a low price.

When I opened my package, I saw a cellphone, two Nokia BL-4C batteries, a stylus pen, a pair of earphones, a charger, a USB Cable, a user manual -- all the things that should be included. TVI8 is a highly similar copy of iPhone 4. It even has iPhone 4’s mute button, which is used to start the camera in fact. 

When I checked the phone, I saw the back cover was scratched as if it had been used for 2 years. Then I emailed to the Tinydeal customer service for a replacement. They told me that the scratched thing was just a thin piece of film. And I saw a smooth back cover after tearing the film off. However, fingerprints are easily left on both the screen and back cover, a little bit ugly, so I bought new films. 

Anyway, the basic functions of my phone work well. The touch screen is responsive in general. I need to use a little force pressing the screen, but it reacts very quickly. When I have phone calls, the voice is clear, no noise, but the sound volume is a little bit low.

The virtual Russian keyboard is also very smart. My finger is thick and I don’t have nails, so I press the wrong key sometimes. This problem can be solved by the stylus pen. It would be better if the phone had a place for it.

Mobile Internet service works well with Russian-language sites. But I can only browse simplified WAP sites, as I’m not able to install JAVA browsers like opera mini. And the phone does not have the function of WiFi (Tinydeal does not say it has WiFi :D).

The first time I used MSN, I logged in without entering email address and password, perhaps because my MSN account and SIM had been bound before. Anyway, it’s good that I don’t have to enter user name and password every time I use it. The pre-installed MSN is not the latest version, so there was a prompt of update. By the way, I tried to install Skype in the JAR format (a JAVA format) from my TF card, but there was no option for installation.

In the beginning, I put all my music files, videos, and pictures in the same folder in the name of King. I could not access such files directly through the Photos, Music, and Videoplayer apps on he desktop. Then I was told that music files, pictures, and videos should be placed in the folders named My Music, Photos, and Videos, respectively. And now the files become accessible.

The camera has both rear and front lenses, whose focal lengths are modifiable. The images are recognizable, though the color is quite dull ( good enough for the price). The camera captures objects quite slow, so when you shoot a video, you should not move the phone too fast.

The most exciting app is a free online content store named 51mrp.com, for which, you can click the Gamecenter icon or Reader-K icon. After update, I found there were sections for 3GP video clips, MP3 songs, pictures, and MRP-format casual games. Downloaded videos, pictures, and songs are saved automatically in the Videos, Photos and My Music folders in the TF card, while downloaded games can be found in My Games folder of 51mrp.com. The downloaded 3GP videos are generally more high-definition than those converted by myself. It’s a pity the phone does not support WiFi, or I would not be charged for Mobile Internet traffic. 

The phone has TV and FM radio functions, which work very well when signals are strong. Bluetooth is usable, while data transfer is not very fast. And the phone is compatible with TXT ebooks.

There are some other apps named, imichat, Augury, and imiTV under the Videocall icon. I’m not interested in them, so just went in to have a look. It seems many people were chatting in imichat, but I don’t know how to use it by far.

In a word, P05-TVI8 is a good cellphone and good multimedia device for its super low price.
