Joe, 23 May 2011This phone is slow and buggy as hell. I tried it out today ... moreDo you compare iphone with a phone 10 times cheaper? Why don't you compare it with a dual-core HTC like Sensation? Then you'll feel like you step back in time more years :D And iphone UI looks way more outdated then Wildfire S.

        This phone is slow and buggy as hell. I tried it out today and after using an iphone it's like stepping back in time.

                              It is good that you people take the same building(probably in front of your office.. :P ) picture from all the phones in camera test.. I am a regular reader of DP Review too and the problem I face there is the samples they add for every camera is taken at different place and conditions.. So it is difficult to compare the pictures(hence cameras) directly(but reviews will be great)..

You are late to the party(which was good for you in this case).. :P When they posted it first, there was no audio quality test.. Probably they had missed it.. It has been added later..

                                    Where's the equalizer? Ever forgot it or what? And hey mate there is audio quality test, and the test tells itself it beats the galaxy ace and other phones that competes on this. C6-01 is the 1st better and this is the next.
