Always quite fancied a dual sim phone!

\It's alright if you don't want the hassle of importing/no warranty.

But you can get phones much cheaper elsewhere.

It is worth noting that a lot of the cheaper phones you buy to import often have limited 3G.

It makes this an interesting price, though it will have its niggles and maybe be very limited in Android hacking/upgrades.

is it any better than all the other 5" android generics you can get?

Import? It maybe an aussie company but youre buying from the uk, which comes with the standard 12months warranty.
I bought a Tv from them no problem.

Theyre a respected company in aus and im sure itll be better than the cheap knock offs shown on that focalprice link if thats the "much cheaper elsewhere" youre referring to.

Really unfortunate timing with the Moto G just out. Can't see it being a success personally.

Which is what he was saying. The hassle of importing and no warrenty refers to phones direct from China/Hong Kong.

The 4gb kills this dead in my opinion

Doesn't help unless you can move apps to it and in any event internal memory is still needed by them and 4gb will be eaten quickly.

And you need to change that to

Haha, i get what you're saying though.
In my experience 4GB is more than enough on my dual sim phone and i can move apps and data to the memory card if i need to.

In the new year we should see more and more dual sim phones with a minimum of 8GB and around 16GB-32GB on average.
