For those who ask if this phonee is reliable, you get what you pay for. I've seen Blü handsets operating here (Costa Rica) and they DO work, and well enough for that matter. But that's it. You won't find anything outstanding in these handsets, save for the price.
This particular model is highly specced and hits a sweet price point. But for those complaining about how Nokia should learn from these people, think about durability. Blü phones will give you a nice features cocktail, but not a long ride like Nokia phones do. Anyway, if you change your cell phone every year or year and a half, you won't mind taking this hot deal.
Support is close to zero, don't expect software updates, probably you'll be left with a bittersweet taste on sound quality, a flimsy build, mediocre GPU/CPU and some buggy behaviour. But there's almost nothing better at that price point and it has a darn sexy screen and form factor, dual SIM capabilities, enough RAM. Here an old CNET article on Blü and an EG review:

Anyway, if you think you could be better off with less specs but real support, quality build and saving yourself some headaches, the Xperia Play, Ray, Active and Live with Walkman are capable/interesting last year smartphones around that same price point. Either way you'll be making a trade off between features and brand support.

Jaizuke, 04 Aug 2012It looks sooooo much like an iPhone running Android..Looks like you have a problem with all phones!
Why is everything looks like IPhone to you people? IPhone is not the first phone! Just because it has round edge? Well Nokia made round edge phones for years before even IPhone exists.
So please keep your mouth closed since you are way too ignorant in this field.
