It looks awesome. But unfortunately only 5 inch and 1/16.... make it 6.5 inch and 2/32 and I'll buy it. I would especially love the Sony cam on my iNew!

5.0 is perfect for my uses. 16GB ROM is fine as well.
I was thinking the same thing regarding RAM though, 2GB would be great, but then it wouldn't be a sub $200 phone anymore.
Looks like it comes with a case as well. Nice.

This phone looks so nice. Really... it's amazing and I think I might grab 1 for my mom... I think for her 1GB ram is plenty.

I think 1GB is plenty as well. It's borderline for me. Performance is fine, but when the phone is loaded with apps, it will occasionally lose my current tab in browser and have to load from cache when coming back after switching out to do something for a minute. Besides that it's no problem.
6.5mm
Wouldn't mind sacrificing a couple mm for a bigger battery, but it definitely adds some slick factor being so thin.

Just purchased an Inew v3 for my wifes christmas present, hopefully she will love its slim form factor.
Re the 1gb ram hopefully they will officially upgrade the firmware to kitkat 4.4 (or someone on xda will compile Cyanogen or another AOSP rom for it), as this requires only 512mb (have 4.4.1 running on my very old galaxy s1 i9000 with 512mb and its not bad).
Given that the SOC is a lot new/more powerful and with a better GPU (not the fastest but hopefully more than a match for kitkat), the phone should hit some decent enough speeds for everyday use (my wife is not a huge gamer).
Also the battery life should be fine as the SOC is fairly frugal on power and its only powering a 1280 x 720 screen.
Time will tell but my fingers are crossed.

Forgot to mention the sony camera at 13mp with f2 aperture should be fairly handy in lower light situations.
