    Built in tv and dual sims would indicate to me that it's a cheapo chinese phone bought on ebay. It's hard to say based on what info he has given us but I doubt it's worth anywhere near as much as €300.

    Cheap chinese knock-off. Plenty around, all have similar design. Lets just say he would be lucky to get a third of what he is looking for

    Cheers, it looks like a pound shop phone alright. The dual sim thing is a bit mad though.

    I saw millions of them on ebay a while back when I was phone shopping. I never found out the point of having two SIM slots?
    It was always a certain sign of Shanzai knock off crapola though.

    That slim battery probably lasts about a minute when watching TV, you'd be lucky to get to see all of the Angelus :D

    I happened to be in China last March and the amount of knock off gear there is unreal. Some really, really good iPhone ones and lots of sh1te like the above. I would be worried about someone that would believe he paid 600 for that and would then pay €300 for it! There are suckers out there I guess. Tempted to call him and express an interest in his fine phone...

    Dual sim phones aren't that uncommon...... you just don't see them here because Networks don't want to make it too easy for you to switch to another network.

    Put it this way, I had a Nokia N92, with DVB-H (Digital TV), EPG, recording ability, Sky Sports, RTÉ, and a good few more.

    Although it was a brick, it had pretty much everything. I was going to sell it for €300 or there abouts before(thats all that it was worth second hand, cost €7-800 New, I very kindly got it for €100 after it was used in a DVB-H Trial by O2) it was accidentaly broken the night before I was going to sell it. :(

    My point is, the Chinese phone is worth about €50. They really are crap.
