I AM USING THIS PHONE AND HAVING LOT OF PROBLEM. THIS PHONE DOES NOT CONNECT TO PC, DATA THROUGH BLUETOOTH CAN NOT BE TRANSFER, I CONTACTED TO LOCAL SERVICE CENTRE THEY ALSO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THESE ISSUES. SOME TIME PHONE STOP WORKING
ARVIND @ Feb 12, 2010
Problem with the unlock screen button which doesnt respond , and is a bug, battery life is also a issue
vikram @ Feb 10, 2010
Bluetooth File Transfer issue is not specific to t.h.i.s. particular phone, but the 1.5 Cupcake version of android itself. Everybody knows it. GPRS works pretty well on i5700, it has some issues with WAP, though. Future upgrade to 2.0 gonna address all these issues, hopefully!
Gurdeep Singh Mander @ Feb 10, 2010
There are too many issues with this mobile- like GPRS not working- Bluetooth not downloadig- etc etc- that is why this is selling at highly discounted rates of 12k in mkt. Better go to gsm arena and check out before buying this half baked phone
Vkumar @ Feb 10, 2010

Nikhil @ Feb 10, 2010
I just bought it under 14K and m quite happy with it. It's an amazing android-based gadget and exposes vast possibilities. Number of apps available and countless under development. True google experience phone. 800Mhz mind blowing! awaiting for 2.0 upgrade...
