BLU Speed - user opinions and reviews

Ok got the phone today. I bought this as a spare travel phone in place for my Samsung Galaxy S. So this is not my main phone hence handons will be light in details.

It runs some proprietary OS, probably Nucleus RTOS like all the other cheap Chinese phones. Comes with 1100mAh battery, but that may be just false labelling.

Bad bits:
1) doesn't have bluetooth
2) doesn't have camera flash or torch
3) keyboard doesn't work on most java apps, you need to switch to edit mode
4) default browser is crap, defaults to Latin American settings (unchangable)
5) configuration for data and some UI is a tad bad
6) keyboard and trackpad are nothing to write about

Good Bits:
1) does have 3G at 850/2100, see Telstra/3 networks here in Australia
2) dual standby, haven't test for dual active
3) can install other browsers, comes with Opera 4 mini as an app which you can't install, but I've install opera 5 mini and bolt browser.
4) about 80MB storage on phone, java sees 16MB ram heap

Overall I do like it. Bear in mind that I wanted a cheap disposable phone will a large range of connectivity, and that's exactly what I got.

After pondering forever about getting a spare travel phone, I settled for this one, mainly because Telstra network here in Australia is 850.

Just purchased it from digitalsound_buy on ebay, will see how it goes.
