              This it's my first android fon,you all knew what android mean,but i wanna talk about some issues
              Small display,it's hard to use keybord
              The battery don't last more then a day,and i don't talk much,like 20-25 min/day,i use the net 15 min/day and listening 3 songs max
              Sometimes when someone call me,the display remain black,like in stand by,i tryed to turn on the display with side buttons,but did not work,so don't know who call me,that's happening once a week
              O yeah ofcourse u must pay some money(10-15eu)to unlocked(vodafone network)but it's doable.
              I really don't know what wi fi hotspot in fon means,but in the manual it's specified:u could use da fon like a modem attached to pc,but be carreful on the cost(3g mobile net it's expensive)
              Good luck
