first smart phone ever
#51
They are very likely the same phone.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

I agree with Giz. They are likely the same phone.

I own two Star S7589s (one for the GF), which are essentially the predecessor to this phone. We have had them for around a year and both really like them. They've had very few hiccups and have worked rather smoothly. In fact, last night my girl reminded me again out of the blue how much she loved her phone. That's a good sign.

I saw in another thread you were concerned about not being able to find a case. That will remain pretty much true for these phones. Outside of the flip covers that came with our phones (not sure if the N3+ has one), finding a third-party cover has been pretty challenging. I'd recommend just socking away an extra $10 per month as "DIY Insurance". Since these phones are so cheap to begin with, if something ever happens to yours you'll have the cash ready to buy another one down the line.

Also, after around a year of abuse, the main button on the bottom of the phone is starting to become less sensitive. I suspect it's just the board flexing somehow -- if I reinforced it, it'd be fine. But I've been too lazy to crack it open and really take a look at it. Just a heads-up, since this is happening to both our phones. This version can exhibit some minute wearout issues.
LG Nexus 4 | APQ8064 | 2GB / 16GB | 4.7"

Let me throw in question here, just not to open to many threads.

Did anyone actualy get in touch with Kingzone K1? It has very nice specs,
but maker is unknown.
