Can u snap a pic of the interior and the back of the flip case? Any comments on the quality of the flip case?

Quality for the flip, i would say average and might attractive fingerprints for the front cover.

 

[garychengjw]

Any idea how much it costs to change the screen? Dropped face down, cracked.

I guess you're first one to crack
don't think worth to repair. bet the cost more than the phone.

Anywhere to get tpu cases, sim lim has it?

*wave*

But I believe it a matter of manage expectation la.....

If you use taobao official forwarder like 4px it will be faster, how come you use EMS in taobao?

Thanks for the pics. Was expecting the Asus flip case to come with a better quality finishing.

i choose shunfeng the $22shipping, from shanghai to 4px at guangzhou takes around 1 day.
just nice it reached 4px around 10am before the cut off time (11am), i pay forwarder fees. takes around 3 days to reach sg.

Oh it's my first try at taobao and I didn't know there are other forwarders. I am pretty bad at reading Chinese also. I guess mine gonna take 3 weeks. Sian diao.

Anyway the camera does perform well for its low light function. However I find the shutter speed rather slow. Very hard to capture image of my moving toddler.

Collected two sets today at JEM Challenger. Pretty smooth. No freebies. Bought their screen protector for $9.90 each and the original flip case for $39.90 each... case is pretty expensive but that's the only one available now. Not keen on online...

 

[quahboonkeng]

if you are that worried then by all means get other phones that have removable batteries.

Some real smart Alec advise as tho we need it siah.

Collected noon at Nex...Here's my review:
- Nice phone & build quality design dont have the cheapo feeling. Worth the $199
- Screen is solid nice and vibrant, despite only 720p
- Typing is responsive and predictive text is great
- Camera has burst mode, scene mode, AE locked function and tons of other stuffs which I like. Thumb Up (I'm speaking from a photographer point of view)
- Installed apps is great without much delay (But will slow down once u hv too many apps installing at the same time)
- Simple games like Rail Rush, Candy Blash, Plant vs Zombies, etc are quite ok in term of speed. But once comes to my favourite game like Dead Trigger 2....slow man....(I wouldn't blame cos u can't expect a decent & low price phone to perform like the bigger bro)

So far I dont have much problem with Facebook (I mean crushing..) But will take note once of it

Due to short time frame, I cant test all apps and functions. But will give a good decent score if you dont mind at times the slow response & a bit of lagging.
By the way, this is my spare Android phone for my prepaid card. I'm a Apple user ^-^....

So will still be happily keep it since it doesnt cost me much...Any feedback do welcome

Cheers & Enjoy your phone. ^-^

What is your software version? Did you do any system software update?

I did software update and FB ain't working well either.

Tried rooting,it was successful but screwed the contacts app up even after I cleared the data for the contacts app. Phone wasn't usable due to the faulty contacts sync,reverted back to original Rom.

Pixelmaster mode tends to use a slower shutter speed to pull in more light

Suggest you try Time Rewind mode, and up iso to 800
