I went for this phone for the price the spec is good and the dual sim feature was key. I find it easily as compatible with my HTC with the exception of the camera. But I have to say when I want good pics, I use my camera not my phone, so not critical for me. All in all happy with this phone.

I bought this phone last week for my 6 y/o daughter's birthday next week. It costs about USD85 here in Malaysia with 6 months shop warranty. For manufacturer warranty you can add an additional USD35.
Here are some of my opinions after testing it for a week:
Touchscreen accuracy is low. It makes typing in portrait mode very frustrating. My daily phone is a 3.5 inch Nokia N8 and I can type quickly and accurately on it's default keyboard so that should tell you something.
Touchscreen sometimes detect multitouch as a quick swipe between the 2 fingers in games like Cut The Rope and Fruit Ninja.
Some videos (mostly Disney movies) that play flawlessly on my old 2010 N8 phone stutter on this phone. I guess I'll have to re-encode those videos.
Battery life is poor. 1 hour of playing Subway Surfer eats up nearly 30% with screen at lowest brightness and mobile data off. But playing movies back to back it can last up to 5 hours on a full charge. It lasts longer idle: I left it at home one day and it still had 80% 12 hours later.
Perhaps it's not fully optimized because there is some slight stuttering in Chrome and Opera Mini.
Screen viewing angles are pretty poor, especially if viewed from the top. Speaker is surprisingly loud.
Antenna signal strength is very good. Voice calls are clear on both sides of the conversation.
Conclusion: It's the cheapest dual core Cortex A9 phone you can get from a well known manufacturer. The cons are minor and it should work well as a Whatsapp, simple gaming machine and movie player for my daughter.

Just using the phone for a week.
From my opinion, the speed and specs quite nice. But, not suitable for mobile gamers, photographers, and those who like to install many apps. 512MB ram is insufficient to run many apps at one time.
5MP camera w/o autofocus.
Gps signal not so strong. Hard to lock location.
Dual-sim option is what i want.
I can give 7 out of 10 from my overall experience so far. =)

Worth the money but its not gonna last you a couple of years. The icons are a little bit weird but its still a dual core device running android. And its affordable too. Anyone deciding to change to android from windows or from belle can definitely have a go with this device.

Standard for HSDPA is 7.2mbps. But there have 14.4mbps and for max it have 21.1mbps. Depend on this device I think 7.2mbps only.

Would be perfect if Lenovo increase the RAM size to 1 Ghz, improved the camera and add option to mute the shutter sound. Of course while maintaining the price

Ive just bought this one for my brother.
the speaker is OK its so loud than my razr but my razr is finer to hear.
the camera is bad! i compared it with my atrix 4g and its really way way behind.
overall experience is OK. if scored from 1 to 10 and 10 is the highest i say this device is rated 6.5!
