ChewOnIt, 26 Jul 2014Bought this from Amazon.com's pre-sale and my wife's pinky ... moreu sound a little inexperienced with android phones. Every phone comes with a single imei, it differentiates between every single fone that was made( so it could not have 2 imei.

Bought this from Amazon.com's pre-sale and my wife's pinky color arrived early just now. Mine is white color and gotta wait for another week. Test drive done with all migration of contacts, messages, and contacts done without much issue other than time. Was kind of concerned when I noticed that despite the box being factory-sealed with stickers, the phone inside appeared to be man-handled already with screen protector already installed, and charger plastic packaging tampered. Still the phone functions like it should: fast and responsive to touch screen selection.
The phone comes with 2 SIMM card slots, one being the standard on Slot #2 and Slot #1 is for the microSIMM version. Phone is with TWO IMEI numbers and so this one phone should function with two different phone numbers. The package comes with an extra instruction sheet on how to enable the two SIMM cards in settings menu.
The reception of my T-Mobile signal was as per normal, but the WiFi reception was exceptionally better than the old phone it replaced. Once WiFi is connected, the phone went into self-upgrade of the OS. I suppose it should be the newer Android Kit-Kat. Leaving it to do its own thing and self-reboot, one abnormally was observed which I though was a disaster: The 8GB microSD card that I has installed as the external storage, became detected as "accidentally removed."
Opening the phone case once again to check whether the microSD card was dislodged "accidentally" was not convenient. U will have to peel off the case that comes with the package, use your finger nails to gingerly edge the back cover open by working from the corners of the phone and then all around it. Inserting and re-inserting the microSD card did not resolve the problem.
The last resort before calling for technical asistance was to completely reformat the microSD card on my notebook with an SD adapter using FAT32 formatting. And when the microSD was formatted blank without any data or sub directory, it worked flawlessly on the phone. It appeared that once the OS is upgraded on this phone, it would need to have to "setup" a virgin microSD card from zero in order that the phone can recognize it as an external SD storage device.
The default brightness of the display was exceedingly glaring. Had to tone it done by setting it on Auto brightness mode under the Settings-Display menu.
Phone comes with a 2000mA Lithium battery which was a bit disappointing. I had expected more. Battery life could be debatable. We shall see after using this for a while.
So far a very nice slick phone to have if you don't mind a couple of potential hiccups. Pending its durability, I would highly recommend this phone as it comes with almost all tech and speed u will ever need (except for a low res 2MP front camera - not that great for selfies). Comparing them with the Samsung 4 or even 5, this phone is great bank for the buck if it should last for a long time.

bonnie, 20 Jul 2014Hi I bought the blue life 8 but am having some issues with ... moreAre you certain that you're putting the sim in the right way? There is a little symbol around near the sim slot that shows the orientation that's needed by the sim for it to work...I don't have any issues with any of the sims...they both work...check the orientation of the sim...you'll know if it's in wrong if it's more difficult than normal to remove or install it...another possibility: probably your sim card terminals were damaged and you need a new sim...just consider it if the problem is not the way you've installed the sim...all the best...

great phone, I believe it has more processing power than my personal computer. Amazing for games, it really was a good buy, do not lose anything for a samsung or iphone.
