I bought it in Fonexpres Kenya at Nakumatt super market way back in November before it was even launched at cost of 27500 KES and thus missed on free 8GB MicroSD card. I think its better than Samsung Galaxy s duos in that this has 1GB Ram against 750MB, Its a duo core ,and its bigger though that pushes down the pixels concentration. The build is almost like that of samsung though alil bit heavier.
The only thing you cant compare with the samsung is the stabillization of image in the camera so you cant take images of rally car with this. samsung is way ahead on this. But for just still photos, the phone is ok. It takes 8Mpx Images. I had the choice of buying either the SGS Duos and 997D and I chose this phone. Sorry another drawback the phone doesnt have a duo 3G chip hence the phone works with one of 3G sim at a time. I dont know about SGS duos. But samsung is always ahead on such areas. The 3G speeds are superbub thanks to duo core. The browser is at least 30% faster than the single core of the same clocking. The GPU is also slightly better than SGS Duos on benchmarks.My currnt big problem is that I dont Know whether it will receive JB or am stuck with ICS. SGS Duos will get JB soon according to samsung. And that is my TWO sense

I recently bought this device. It runs like a dream. The interface is smooth and the dual SIM function is excellent. It somewhat feels like an I phone. A bit heavy but not a bad thing. The camera is excellent shooting HD images. The video display is also excellent. It comes with preinstalled applications which is a plus. I think this is the best dual SIM handset in the market right now. I'm from Kenya.

My friends told me to choose a Samsung phone. I need a dual sim, dual cam with flash. I will mainly use it for Skype. But Samsung S Duos has so many negative feedback here! Should I get Alcatel 997D instead? How's the camera of 997D? Can I use video light? Need your advice guys, I'm from the Philippines...

The phone is fast enough. It only faces some issues with radio reception, and wifi strength. I think it is similar to "grip of death" in the right down side of the phone. Not sure if this can be corrected by another firmware upgrade, or it is a design fault. But overall very happy with it

The design is great. But the gadget is slow to open web browsers and even open the Android Play store. Even after upgrading the OS to 4.0.4 - 01001, there is no improvement.

In terms of speed, my rooted HTC HD2 running jelly bean, and my prior Dell Streak 5 running the MIUI 2.4.20 are 'superfast'

I am using this phone for last 4 weeks, not bad. Still there is enough room for improving touch sensitivity. Overall, it has got value for money at the price I bought it.
