[Question] Looking for Gorilla glass phone

[paker]

Is the 5% off code on certain items only? Message reads "The coupon code you entered couldn't be applied to any items in your order." I tried on Zopo C2 and also on THL W8s. Didn't work.

Okay. Sorry about that. I contacted them and it should be working by tomorrow. Use coupon code "beat" for now. I just tested it and it's working fine.

Thanks for correcting the coupon issue. I have one final question. When I connect my ThL W100 to PC, I get Mass Storage USB prompt on the cell. If I select the option, PC shows cell internal memory and external microsd card. Is this option coming from Android 4.2, THL, or Air Droyd from Google Play? Rephrasing the question, will I have the same option whether I buy Zopo C2 or THL W8S? Thanks.

For now, use 'beat' as a coupon code.

Yes, you will see 2... Assuming you have an SD inserted. That's phone storage and SD.

My question was about the source of the mass storage option. Is the feature inherent to Android 4.2? Do all Android 4.2 phones have the option? Or is the feature coming from the app I installed from Google Play (Air Droyd)? Or is it because ThL installed a special program?

[GizBeat]

It's your phone storage and your SD. This is standard with all Android phones.

[paker]

Thanks. Someone at some other forum must have given me incorrect information.

Assuming your phone is partitioned to have phone storage and you have SD installed (some phones don't have external SD). I suppose it's also possible a manufacturer could make a phone that didn't include any phone storage...

I guess I'll amend my answer to say it's "standard" functionality for Android. It definitely has nothing to do with the air app or something special THL did. It's just your computer communicating with phone storage and SD via the driver.

After breaking the screen of THL W100, a good phone really, I am looking for a replacement. The least expensive phones with Gorilla glass I found are THL W8s

and Zopo C3

Any cheaper Gorilla glass phone? My requirements are quad band 2G and 850 3G (North American AT&T). May be smaller than 5". Thanks.

Other readers are interested in the replies, even if you have selected your model of phone.

Gorilla Glass can also break. The latest is Grade3, ATM, but not many current phones have this yet. Apple and other brand do not use Gorilla glass. A good phone case is much better than any version of 'glass' IMO (not IMHO at all).

Gorilla Glass can also break.

That is true but everything can break. But you have to compare it to other screens.

Yes it's true a good cover will help. But it's everybodies personal choice to use a cover or not. In this light you should say to choose for hardened glass and a cover.

Taking an Apple is a bad example...The amount of broken screens is simply huge.

Hardened glass is more difficult to break as other types of glass and yes is a smart choice. Currently hardened glass used is Gorilla glass and DragonTrail

I think for the OP currently the Neo N003 is similar in design and a good sturdy choice.
But I think he already ordered his phone of choice.
