Kazam - One of a range of phones from Ideal World | Telecom Consumer Discussion Forums

Usually, this type of manufacturer, little known and aggressively promoted, isn`t very satisfactory. In my country, there are three similar manufacturers, creating extremely cheap Android gadgets, but you use them one month and then you have to send them to the service. I purchases such a gadget and I regret even today the money spent, so I rather invest more in a well-known brand, whose gadget I can use for at least 12 months with a decent performance

I have had similar experiences when buying cheaper brands from ebay, however these phones come with a 3 year warranty I think I saw somewhere, which certainly seems like a reasonable amount of time

Indeed 3 year warranty is encouraging, but I think there is a small trick related to the acceptance of the warranty, in case of misfunction. Rather than admitting the gadget is upside down, the provider might argue you didn`t use it properly, so the warranty can`t cover the damage

I do see where you’re coming from that companies will often do what they can to avoid any costs to them. I do often wonder why dual sim phones have never been about over here before, I am a bit sceptical as to how well they work. However it could just be that they have never been released here because of mobile networks wanting you to spend money with just them and not another network as well. This is something that they appear to be backing away from now, for example Three no longer have phones they sell locked to their network, and will unlock phones that are for free. Which really is rightly so, if you pay for a device you should have the freedom to choose if its locked or not. I can however understand them wanting to lock it while the device is in contract, however if you don’t pay the bill its straightforward enough for them to block the IMEI

I used a dual sim smartphone for a couple of months and honestly, I would rather invest into a locked one, but manufactured by reliable brand. That gadget was a version of Asha series from Nokia, estimated at 50EURO, but was shooting down during my calls, messages were delivered with delay, not to mentioned I lost some of my contacts due to a bug, affecting the agenda
