• Sexy mp3 playback.
• FM, Wifi, GPRS, etc etc.
• Very very cheap.
• Very good battery back up.
• Nice gadget to show off.
• Light Weight.
  

Disadvantages of a china Phone.(Must read this before buying a china phone)

• No two china phones have the same features. (Make sure u check all the features are there for the peice u have in ur hand).
• What is use of Dual sim if only one works at a time.( Only few phone have the ability to keep both the sim's active)

• and lot more.

When to buy a China Phone.

• Need a phone to show off rather than use case.
• Need long battery life, loud mp3 playback for long time.

• Need to have touch experience for less than 3k.

When not to buy a China Phone.

This is about my review on the china phone depending on my expereince, its up to u to decide if u want to buy one. May be the china mobile i took is a screwed up model, who knows. In case of any info or clarification u can post a comment.
