    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.

    Hi Andi,
    I’ve a curiosity question: how do you choose the winner?

    • November 20, 2012

      Once all the entries are in they are placed in an excel starting from the first who entered to the last. then I’ll split the groups up by 4 (or more depending on how many people enter) then using a random number generate to slowly whittle the numbers down until I have a winner.

    Didn’t work for me either, deleted cookies too.

  7. November 20, 2012

    Thanks for the nice video review you also shared. Seems like a nice phone after all.
    Good luck to everyone and I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for your generosity!

    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 πŸ˜‰

    Good luck everyone!

    • November 21, 2012

      Yep don’t worry I have your right answer πŸ™‚

    Nice giveaway dude πŸ˜‰ 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).

    • November 22, 2012

      Shhhh you are giving to much away πŸ˜‰

  15. Kelzen
    November 23, 2012

    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!

    • Frans
      November 23, 2012

      No glass is unbreakable, shit happens dude sorry to hear it.

    • Vincent

      My UMI X1 cracked in my jeans pocket when I sat down. No fall!

      It’s not gorilla glass!!!!

    Hi Andy,

    Will you be giving away something on Christmas too ? πŸ™‚

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

    • November 24, 2012

      Yep I hope to be able to have a give away for Christmas too. Great ideas! I’ll have a think about what we can do πŸ™‚

      • RolandNL
        November 24, 2012

        I suck at designing tho, and I guess that others have a harder time thinking of punch lines, so maybe just suggesting an ‘idea’ to make GizChina better would be nice. This could then also be a logo, mascot or whatever, but also stuff you wouldn’t be thinking about yourself which can give you a new perspective on your website!

      • Brianna
        November 29, 2012

        I think if you had any design contest, I’d be super happy. (You should do it just for fun, even)

        • November 29, 2012

          Ok, let me secure a good prize and we’ll run one πŸ™‚

    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)

  19. Amit
    November 26, 2012

    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 ?

    We understand Andi πŸ™‚

    • December 2, 2012

      Ha ha I do love it πŸ™‚

      Nope it’s been a busy weekend and we had about 1000 extra entries on Friday (lot of duplicate entries though πŸ˜‰ ) So having to sort through them carefully so everyone has an equal chance of winning.
