schuster, have you tried this phone allready, if so what is your first impression. The reviews on the site seem ok and the price is also good.

I have only had time to do the basics so far. I am charging both batteries and doing rundown tests as there are reports of defective batteries being shipped. Dual SIM function works fine; I have cards from 2 different carriers inside and they both register and receive calls separately. It also seems to work OK with my TravelSIM using callback function; even the STK menus work without a hitch. Placing calls using the second SIM is a little tricky as you have to use the left soft-key as a surrogate "SEND" button. RF is very good; full scale in my basement where even some Nokias have trouble. Ringer and speakerphone LOUD; earpiece volume is acceptable but could be a touch louder. Fit and finish are fine, especially for a cheap Chinese phone. User interface is a copy of Nokia menu functionality; good because the manual is useless. Spent some time turning off all the "cutesy" things like playing songs on poer-up and down; etc. Uploaded ringtones using USB cable without a hitch; the phone asks you what type of device you want it to emulate and then does it; will also charge from computer. So far it seems well worth the $100. By the way, there is a similar model with FM on some websites - YEPO K630i - but it's more expensive and there is at least some doubt that certain shipments are actually quad band. It seems to use the same battery and I wonder if YEPO and ZOHO are manufactured by the same company.
