What's Included & Basic Features

Inside the box is an AC Adapter for charging the phone, a USB cable to connect the phone to your computer, the phone, and instruction manuals. The inclusion of a USB cable is great, I was expecting to have it not included and be forced to purchase it separately. There is also a CD with the V-Cast Music Manager software on it to install on your PC.

Call quality was good, slightly better than average. Since the phone has a touch screen interface, the numeric keypad on the outside is touch based, and unlike using the touch screen when in a web browser to scroll around, taps on the screen to dial numbers were fairly responsive. Also something I noted is that whenever you touch the screen, the phone will vibrate a little to indicate feedback to you that it's been touched.

Bluetooth pairing a headset was simple. Unfortunately, I don't have a set of stereo headphones to test with, however the phone's specifications does say it supports A2DP.

The battery life was OK; I discovered that watching the mobile television is a good way to drain your battery life quickly. Doing nothing but watching V-Cast Mobile TV had the battery lasting three hours and 25 minutes, which is just about long enough for a football game. Otherwise the stand by time was about 2 days and talk time is short at about 4 hours.

The phone runs the BREW operating system, which is a product of Qualcomm. Any application running on the OS must be submitted for quality testing to Qualcomm and the developer has to pay a fee - this will limit third party application support from small developers.

One interesting feature of the phone is to put in USB mass storage device mode. With this, you can access the memory card via the USB cable plugged into your PC. No need to take the MicroSD card out, put it in an adapter, and then put than in your PC. However this mode does temporarily turn off all wireless communication - cell phone and Bluetooth.

OK, the phone is probably great, but AMAZON is not! They do not have this phone, it is in some kind of backorder limbo and from what I can tell - if it was ordered after Dec. 4th 2007, nobody even got one.

Check out the customer discussion forum:
