    What a good news !
    This is the only phone I am pretty sure to work on 900MHz/2100MHz 3G baseband.

    This information does not seem to be very important for you. Besides, it’s a hard one to get. But I try to get the info when I can.

    Thank you for this site. I am on it like every morning and even the evening.

    OMG lol, I was looking for the answer, but then I looked at the wrong tab (of the Jaiyu G3 unboxing) and then gave that as an answer =’) But then I scrolled and was like ‘OMG I’VE RUINED IT!’, as only then I realised I was on the wrong tab =’) So yeah, I immediately sent another answer with the addition that the previous one was a mistake, I hope you get where I was coming from… I just like to see all reviews on GizChina, and therefore I open a lot of tabs haha ;-)

    Good luck everyone!

    Nice giveaway dude ;-) just found out this website today (was searching for the jiayu g3 but i might wait with that because of this giveaway ^_^ )

    Thx for this giveaway dude.

    hopefully my answer was good (havent put the country of the glass in the answer).

    RIGHT ANSWER IS “NONE”, or at least some CRAP, because I have crack on the displey already! And it was no “crash test”, just a little fall! I’m totally disappointed!

    Hi Andy,

    Will you be giving away something on Christmas too ? :)

    And I have a suggestion, next time please let us “compete” :) I mean like designing a logo for gizchina, or a mascot or a punchline may be :) Lucky draws makes us think a lot about results :) If it were a competition then you will have a hard time choosing and we can relax :P win win for both :)

    hi Andi,

    when will you write the complete review of umi x1, and btw umi x1 today release 1st 4.1 rom (still beta) also MIUI already on their closed beta on umi x1 rom (read from 91umi bbs)

    Is there a way to differentiate the knock off from original ones. I was looking for this phone in aliexpress today and found that most of the x1 have bonus batteries and ‘powered by bonus’ written on the back cover. Are they originals? Do you think Kalzen’s screen cracked easily because he might have got a x1 knock off ?
