This is a nice solid phone at the lower end of the smartphone market.

The phone is most likely locked to the Vodafone network. Unlock codes can be bought off eBay for around $5.00.

  No, latest Android version is 2.3.3 for these.
  
  Also, they're currently $89 unlocked at Unique Mobiles.

The top of the smartphone market is really pushing down the price of these cheaper smartphones…soon these will be $29 specials in the Coles or Woolies catalogue - amazing!

does anyone know how long can this phone's battery last for using as a wifi hotspot (turned on continuously)?
- oringal on 10/03/2012 - 17:21 ¶
  
  around 5 hours

      Long term view, the battery on mine is pretty much cactus now after 18mths.
- psychtracker on 10/03/2012 - 23:44 ¶
  
  Yeah, i like most everything about this phone, apart from the battery life and charging time. I got a cheapo china batt from ebay for a couple bucks, as a backup, and it seems to be pretty similar to the original. Charging is super slow, maybe 5-6 hours from near flat, i haven't timed it…but seems to take forever! This is the only "smart" phone i've owned, so maybe it's the norm, and the result of packing so much tech into a tiny device.

  There are battery packs containers (2 or 4 aaa batteries) with usb/micro usb connectors which will lengthen the life.

Pretty sure any vodafone prepaid can be unlocked for free - look in previous posts on OzBargain and/or whirlpool
auna on 10/03/2012 - 17:33 ¶

My deal, but which includes this phone for cheaper and much more has the same votes as this "deal". God dammit, Ozbargain community.

I was going to get this but the COTD deal for the LG Optimus Win7 phone for $157 delivered was too good to refuse.
- camelgrass on 10/03/2012 - 19:20 ¶
  
  You mean $159 + $5.95 delivery?

Damn, now that I look at it this phone has some really nice Custom Rom's. Half the price of what I paid for my phone 6 months ago and just as good.

How do you complete\start the HOW TO. bit ie. wipe this and that?

  xDEFiNE on 11/03/2012 - 14:05 ¶
  
  Hey, before you do that you need to root your device and install a recovery. See this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007244
  
  ONCE you've done all this, you can follow the instructions shown in the thread. But basically booting into recovery is usually done by turning off your phone and pushing a combination of buttons, ie power button + vol down. Once you've done that you will be able to see all the options i.e factory reset/ wipe cache and so on, and you can install a rom through the recovery.
  
  It might take a bit but read over that thread, and you should be fine.

I bought one of these for my wife from a deal Unique Mobiles had last year and the phone is fantastic and her mother just got me to buy one for her, its a good cheap "Android" phone and I cant find anything close for the price, the camera takes good photos too lol my wife is always using it for facebook pictures.

I will have to try that OptimusWiz Rom, look good :)
