    Hehe, cheap plastic flip phones. Remind me of Sol the dodgy lawyer in Breaking Bad. Just buy a few of them and keep them in your private drawers. Once you have made some dodgy phonecalls, you can just snap and destroy the phones.

    P.S. Just noted English is not listed as supported language :D

      English is listed on the item page.

    These phones run on the 2G network only. That limits the longevity of this device since Telstra will start shutting down 2G networks by the end of 2016 and re-purpose the spectrum for 4g. Voda and Optus I assume may soon follow. Still, 2 years is still a long time.

      I don't think the phone will last as long as the network!

    Operation System: No Smartphone
    quality: high quality

    That made me laugh.

    I guess, going by the pics, this is a phone you'd give to your kids?

    Also, ebook reader!?

      Kids would absolutely cop it if they turned up to school with one of these! Yes, a sad indictment on society but that's how it is!

      I want my kids to be able to call me, so this phone is a NO GO

    Personally, i would avoid anything being sold on dhgate. Had very bad experience with a few of the sellers there. And the dhgate staff themselves are very unhelpful. I had raised an issue last year, and keep getting bounced around, have to explain my issue all over again each time, and still not resolved until now. Buy at your own risk, dont trust any of those dhgate "guarantee" sign.

    this has a tv tuner? pretty sure it's going to be analog tv which has been turned off here

    Cheaper than a toy phone!

  • cristtos on 07/08/2014 - 15:21

    what does " Dual SIM dual standby" mean?

    • Malarkey on 07/08/2014 - 15:28

      probably just a spare slit in the back of the phone to hold another sim? haha

      edit: A more serious response is that I'm pretty sure standby means you can switch between the two sims but can't actively receive sms etc on both at the same time?

        Dual standby phones, such as those running on Mediatek chipsets, allows both SIMs to be accessed through time multiplexing. When making or receiving calls, the modem locks to the active channel; the other channel would be ignored and thus unavailable during the duration of the call.[19] Two examples of Dual-SIM Standby smartphones are the Samsung Galaxy S Duos[20] and the Sony Xperia M2 Dual. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_SIM#Standby
