sub $100 phone
 
In the next few minutes you are going to laught at me, because THIS IS a
chinese cell phone review. Yeah yeah, go ahead and tell me the battery is
going to explode or I will get lead poisoned by touching the key pad... I don't
care what you say, cause this is the best $100 I have ever spent.

Anyway, I was shopping around Ap Liu Street (an area in HK that is a
paradise for guys). A lot of electronic stuff, LED flashlights, $5 cables, cell
phones, cell phone accessories, etc you name it. My mission is to find an
affordable phone for my uncle that will replace his 7 years old cell phone.

So I went straight to the chinese product section in a cell phone store. Replica
iPhone, replica HTC touch, replica Vertu, replica Japaneses flip phone, replica
brick phone, you will go like :eek: WTF. They are very very very cheap and
go as low as $40 for a full function cell phone up to $180 replica iphone with
TV tuner!!

This one caught my attention, Chang Zhang A968, a touch screen bar phone
with TV tuner, not too flashy and doesn't feel cheap...it's only $598hkd ($95cdn)
comes with 2 batteries!! (If the first one doesn't kill me, the second one will
probably burn my house down), anyway.

The back side of the phone says....8.0mega pixel!!!! BIG BS!! it only captures
640x480 pictures. and WTF is VAIO logo doing there?

Sample very shitty quality

I am sure this is an Asian thing, people watch movie/TV or listen to music on
a bus or train, so a gadget that can play all kind of file is a MUST. This one
has a TV tuner, which is even rare. TVB FTW

Oh, the antenna is like one foot long, feel free to pick your nose with it while watching TV

I dont understand WHY the fuck you need a 2.1 loud speaker on a phone?
Yes, it is a TV phone, I know, but if you crank up the volume, it will fucking
break your ear drum without putting it near your ear. I am serious, you can
have a house party with this thing.

This thing is huge, it's as big as my old PDA GPS phone. 3" touch sceen, with tons
of functions, not too bad for a phone like this kind. It comes with two 3600mah
batteries!!! (my old PDA phone only has 1300mah) it can also hold two sim cards and
support dual blue tooth!

I don't think anyone will even consider buying it, not even buying it for fun.
I am amazed they can come up with all those things you don't expect to see
on a cell phone. If they take out those weird wordings on the case and put it in
a better box, I am sure it will sell. Meanwhile, god bless the batteries won't kill
my family.
