    Is it really an inch thick, seems very chunky? I have the Ascend g300 and it's a pretty good phone, spoiled by Huawei's poor support and failure to provide a non buggy version of ICS but I'd be tempted to upgrade to this.

    Doesn't the 1GB of internal storage make this as good as useless?

    Or, does it become more viable if you can root and than move all the apps to external SD?

    RAM - 1GB
    Internal memory - 4GB

    The iBood website is wrong in description.

    I think the phone is good if you are not into mobile gaming.
    Else the battery will drain very fast.

    so did I, but I'm getting a better phone (bigger screen, higher res) for less money (even if customs catch it) so I'm not going to worry about it.

    No LED flash in the Huawei which would be a drawback for me.

    Looks good for the money. Cameras are weak point 5MP and front camera VGA. I own a Huawei G300 with a 5mp camera and to be honest its not great. Quality like a Nokia with a 3.2mp camera. I also seen a Jiayu G3 (Chinese Quadcore 4.5inch) with a supposedly 8mp camera and it was equivalent to the Huawei 5mp.

    Jiayu g3 is the usual chinese bull 8Mp interpolated. More megapixels in a cheap cmos just gives less sensitivity and more noise anyway. Megapixels are not a measure or indication of quality, three decent megapixels is better than any number of crappy ones.

    Looks pretty good, where did you buy it? I'd be a bit scared to buy a phone from China, so many fakes. Can you be sure it will have an English menu etc?

    Always make sure you get it rooted when buying. I had bought a lenovo a820 without issues from china.

    Did the supplier root it or did you have to root it yourself, did it come with an English instruction manual?
