SOLVED: Decided on ZP998. Review in a few weeks, possibly
Hi peeps. First time caller, long time listener...
It's tax rebate time in the US, and that gives me an excuse for a new phone. I've searched, and really like the Jiake V8
The phone does have a couple issues, only 720p and i'll be using metroPCS (t-mobile subsidiary), so the 3g is "roaming".
So, I'm looking to spend around $250USD. here's what I'm looking for:
I think not having the following is worth about $25 less:
I would be willing to pay up to $50 more (depending on item) for at least one the following:
I would be willing to pay as much as $100 more for any of the following:
So, other than the one I linked to, can anyone recommend a phone? I looked at the ZP980+, but the fact it's only 12.7cm and no s-pen turns me off.
