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.

Hi Robert, is your w007 still running or has it allready breakdown?Thx for reply.
Yep, still running. Never had a problem. It’s been already a year and this might be the best phone I have had and I am comparing it to Motorola, Nokia and others.
hi. just got the phone for my gf. really easy 2 set up. changed all the settings 2 wap and all the different internet using features work perfectly. on 3rd page, the built in wap net sux but java oprah has no problems other than the, having to go into java menu 2 use latest oprah version. ok, so i read that alot of u cnt connect 2 ur wifi. this is probably because ur password is in lowercase and this fone automatically goes 2 uppercase. go 2 where u type ur password and select lowercase b4 putting in ur pw. easy! its funny how its always the simplist things we overlook. anyway il post if i can find a way 2 configure it 2 auto-choose the latest oprah explorer
can we upgrade OS to anroid?
You can’t upgrade the firmware on this phone and definitely you can’t upgrade to Android.

Sorry, but I have no idea. This never happened to me.

how to use the internet on the cellphone?
hi. i just got this phone. it works well for me. my only problem is the answering machine feature. how do i disable it???
Stay away from Java phones like this one. I’ve got one and it sucks. The cell phone portion is a crap, no Java compatible games worth to download, several useless shortcuts on the screen to no available Java games. Wi-Fi is terrible, low sensitivity, you have to be in the same room with the router to get good signal, confusing menu options, etc, etc,
Pay some more money and get Google Android instead.
