Bought this phone for 2 weeks now because it looks promising for a dual-sim android phone based on the reviews I read around the net.

Speed: It's actually fine for its price tag since the only requirement for me to be satisfied with the speed is that it can play 720p movies without any problem and it does it without any problems using MX Player S/W decoder fast mode.

For graphic-intensive apps, the ones I tested are Asphalt 6: Adrenaline(check Lenovo mobile forums on how to run this one), Final Fantasy 3, GTA 3, Eternity Warriors 2, Mass Effect Infiltrator, Max Payne, Shadowgun, Bombshells: Hell's Belles, and Frontline Commando. I actually expected it to lag when it has lots of effects going on especially in Bombshells but other than that, the games run fine.

Battery life: C'mon it's got a 2500 mAh battery so no question about there. It played a 2-hour movie (non-stop) with MX Player at level 13 volume and at max brightness and only drained 20% of the battery life. At an average day where I send at least 100 SMS messages, go online at Facebook via WiFi for an hour and play Final Fantasy 3 for around 2 hours, it only drains less than 30% battery life.

I bought it at Wellcom SM North (Philippines) by the way so it came with a free Balkin Power pack. The saleslady was very accommodating since she let me test the unit, charger, 4Gb memory card, and the earphones before I went ahead with the purchase.

If you have any problems, update to the latest firmware. I actually had a problem with Idea Desktop suddenly stopping and it was solved with the latest firmware update (currently 114).

Bought the phone 2 weeks ago. Biggest problem is the speaker system. I can hear the other party but I can't be heard from the other end. Replaced the phone immediately after sending it twice for repair.

Day 3 of owning this phone, got it from Wellcom as well -- they still have the free Belkin Power Pack, so that makes this phone such a good buy!

As for performance, Android ICS is just right: no lags, no stutters, quite exceptional for a MediaTek 1GHz CPU. Plays some 3D games as well, but don't expect it to run everything.

I bought this as a secondary phone, and I expect it only as much. But it's turning out to be so good, that it can probably replace my HP Pre 3 (webOS, 8GB, dual-core 1.2GHz SnapDragon).

All in all, a VERY good BUY! :)
