6.5" Phablet that works!

I'm not daft, I knew I'd have to send it China if it broke...when something does go wrong though, the reality sets in with these devices that there really is very little support when stuff goes wrong, with long wait times to get anything done.

Yes. That is what happens when you buy an inexpensive device from overseas. I do not think anyone was accusing you of being daft, but perhaps take a step back and look at it again. Something has got to go when you buy a product like this at such a price. Of course customer support is going to be at a bare minimum. Perhaps consider purchasing retail locally next time might be a good option for yourself.

@Bacon_Puffs is correct regarding the 720p and 1080p performance differences, but obviously it doesn't rule out the possibility that part of the issue could be a smoother ROM from Lenovo as you have suggested.

Regarding the tracking apps, there are several that do work with MTK GPS. There was a thread about this in the H7500+ forum a while back and I'll try and find it.
