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.

I’ve got the same phone (white color) few days ago, and it’s definitely a great purchase! On the picture it looked big, but in fact when you have it in your hands you realize that it has a big screen and a slim line! Which is perfect! Wifi connection is working fine; I can use Opera mini 5 beta 2, google mail application, ebuddy, java games…it has a function for reading videos from online websites like youtube. The bluetooth is very responsive. And finally I like it too much!!
I’ve bought it from http://www.Shopgomi.com for 110$

Hi,
Have searched high and low for how to view youtube videos.
No problem to use wifi to access other online websites. But when in youtube and try download video files, the phone default video software seems to try to launch and flash fr a while, then just disappear. No way to view videos.
Not sure if anyone willing to help.
Else the phone works and looks great.

I have the same issue and I was searching online and seems there is no possibility of firmware upgrade to maybe fix the issue. So no youtube videos.
