the other £90 is for the Android licence ?
Thats smells a bit funny to me, since it is Open Source?

even if the Monte does only have TouchWiz UI 2.0 its still better than Android filled with garbage orange branding. If I was orange I would rather price this £30 instead for its poor quality.
Oh, and I find it absuluty amazing you can LOOK at something and say its crap, don't judge a book by its cover. Ever

Would much rather get this, wait for the brilliant XDA community to jump to it, then install a vanilla ROM than get a TouchWiz phone.
Android is the future, and it wouldn't surprise me if this phone started a wave of cheap devices.
Agreed, and agreed
The guys over at XDA will have this suited, booted, and rooted near enough straight away

How can you tell it looks buggy & unstable from a 1:36 video
The screen looked responsive & it's made of plastic yes but you have not held one have you? So how can you say it looks plasticky??
Every phone in a photo which is plastic can look just plastic

For goodness sake we are talking about THIS phone not my Android annoyances
Anyway @phonecrzy how can you compare this to Samsung Monte Touchwiz??
The Samsung is not anywhere near what this phone can do. I think it will spark alot of cheap Android devices but some people are not happy about that I read somewhere

It was meant as a joke / sarcasm.

No cos it's not the topic
But its your thread, you can change the topic anytime you like !
So please let us know your dislikes !
Anyway, this phone like all the other cheap mid to low range phones coming out is meant for people who want to dip their toe into the Android OS without having to pay for a top end smartphone. Its a good move by Android !
