I have nothing against Samsung’s dual-face Ultra handsets, the F300 music-centric handset and the F500 video-centric handset, but pricey phones and otherwise come locked to a network. The V8, however, from Shuang Mian Yi Ren comes unlocked and will only set you back $131. It’s not only cheap, it’s also prettier using a click wheel instead of the squarish buttons on the multimedia side. It doesn’t offer the twisting mechanism of the Samsung phones and we have no idea what audio or video formats it supports. The V8 is a dual-band GSM phone, had a built-in 2 megapixel camera and a microSD card slot.
If you don’t mind having a semi-legal gadget in your pocket or purse, the V8 offers all the sleekness of a branded fashion phone at Third World prices.

My dad snapped my phone in half the other week, long story, so i have to pay for a new phone completely myself. I was wondering if i could order this online and if it was plus shipping and handling and how long it would take to get it mailed to me, this seem like a pretty tight phone, and no one seems to have ever heard of it or seen it. Im in desperate need of a phone. Thankyou.
