Cheapest Android chinese phone?
#1
I have decided to sell my beloved B6000, but I still need a backup phone.

Wanna get something up to $60.

Appreciate the advices.

Already? Wow!

This looks to be the cheapest on Merrimobiles:

Thanks bud.

But it seems like B6000 will be mostly collecting dust, and i6000 will be my main phone.
Can't justify $200 thing just laying around.
I had my fun with it.
If anybody here is interested, PM me, the phone is in pristine condition.

3.5" is not good enough. But thanks anyway.

For $60, you can't expect more than 3.5 unless it's got an entirely garbage LCD and CPU.

Didn't think to find anything for +-$60 but here it is:
4" MT6517(6577 without 3G): http://dx.com/p/tethin-tx300-android-4-1...ack-237193
4.5" MT6517: http://dx.com/p/viko-z6-android-4-0-mtk6...ack-239553
And if you want even more screen for your money:
7" MT6515(6575 without 3G): http://dx.com/p/m7-mtk6515-android-2-3-6...ack-236223

If you want to go cheaper, go for something with the "Spreadtrum SC6820" it sports a Cortex-A5 processor with a single core Mali400..
Some devices with this thing are marked as android 4.x, but it's just 2.3.

Have fun.

Like I said, it is going to be a backup phone.

I am only buying it if I sell my B6000.

Maybe I won't.

Either of those phones will be pretty good backup phones actually. Dual-core will be fine. Anything below that will be pointless on Android 4.0+

Actually I think my B6000 is quite nice, doesn't make much sense to downgrade, best case my net will be little more than $100. I might just go w/dumb phone for $10 or so. Or, more likely, keep my B6000.

But thank you guys anyway, I've got an idea.

Sold my B6000 nevertheless.

Do need a backup phone in case something happens to my i6000.

I don't like the battery behavior at all.

It reports 25% and then all of sudden I cannot start the phone until it gets more juice from the charger.

Happened to me yesterday in the shopping mall. Hated it.

Look at this: http://www.pandawill.com/happy-hour/?current=monday&force=yeshttp://www.pandawill.com/customer/account/index/

..and then PANDAFORYOU5 for 5% off..

PS Newer mind..does not let you to use the coupon and then built-in battery..no deal..

What are you looking for in a backup phone?

Dumb phone is stable and protected against depreciation while it sits on the shelf.
Dumb phone + external battery pack is less than $60.
