Changjiang W007 3.2″ touch screen phone review (Chinese fake)
A couple of days ago I received in the post a brand new W007 mobile phone which I order on dealextreme.com. This suppose to be one of those phones which tries to fake iPhone mixed, I think, with the HTC G2 or something similar.
The price of the phone was $110, which from my standards, its more then a bargain. The phone has a 3.2″ touch screen, with some kick ass colors, I must add. Also included is support for 2 SIM’s, WiFi, Bluetooth, microSD, some kind of a multi-touch (maybe not, just some software emulation), TV, Radio, FM Transmiter, accelerometer and many more cool stuff, which some might use them and some might not.
The quality build of the phone it’s quite remarkable, was thinking is gonna suck big time, but I was really surprised. In general the phone is super well done, looking very nice and working the same. The only major or minor issue with it, it’s the cameras, there are 2 of them, but both of the suck, front camera is 0.3M pixel and the back one, I think, 1.3M pixel, but on the phone is written 12.1M pixel, which kind of sucks. Another bordering issue with the phone would be the multi-touch or the touch screen, which is not as responsive when using it with your fingers. If you are using the stylus, then everything works as it should, but if it’s an iPhone copy, well you aspect it to work like iPhone (more or less
).
The phone packing was nice, small and simple and it included the phone (well normally), 2 Li-Ion batteries, wall charger, USB data and charging cable, stereo headset, 2GB microSD card. Taking in consideration that the phone costs $110 and getting so many things, plus a phone that work quite nicely, this is a bargain aspecially if you wanna compare to phones like HTC G1 or G2, iPhone and so on. On the other had, this is not iPhone and doesn’t look maybe as good as iPhone, but it does look good and works good, so there wouldn’t be any reason to not buy it, even if it’s just for the brilliant 3.2″ touch screen, or like in my case because of the WiFi, TV and radio.
With the money I have spent for this phone, here I couldn’t even buy a mini TV or a small portable TV, not to mention the rest of the features coming with it.

As a final word from my side, the phone is worth every penny. If you are not into the brand stuff, but you want a good phone that offers tons of stuff, then try it. Most probably you wont be disappointed.

@GRACE:
I work for AT&T. Are you using a prepaid service? if you are, you wont be able to use your phone for data. AT&T only offers data functions exclusively for AT&T phones. The only features that you can take advantage of are basic calling features and regular text messaging. if you are with postpaid, the more that you wont be able to use data on your phone even when you add a data feature. With prepaid service (gophone), we have customers that are fortunate enough to use data on their phones but it doesn’t last long.. after a few days, it’ll start giving you problems.. wont get to connect to the internet, wont be able to send and/or receive mms. i don’t recommend you to get a data package added to your account if you’re planning to use this w007 phone for your service.
