[Question] New Here - THL T11 or iNew V8?

[Houki]

Hi Houki,

Glad that you've got your new phone on the way as well. I too am from Canada, and debating which phone to get and what import charges are like as well. Unlike yourself, I've been gravitating more towards the T11 only because it has the 1900 band (the phone will be used on Telus/Koodo which does not have a GSM fall back). To add a crinkle to my saga, I saw reviews that says the T11 has the WCDMA 1900 band, yet the Gearbest site does not show that band for the phone. So now I'm still wondering what to believe. Since you went with the iNew V8, I presume the 1900 band was not a (potential) show-stopper for you?

Thanks

Hello drewski,

As Gizbeat pointed out, I chose between the iNew V8 and the T11 because they both supported WCDMA 850/1900. I don't believe there are many others (with 2GB of RAM) that support 1900 for that price point right now.

Also looks like I won't be getting my phone until next week. According to the DHL tracking number, they received the shipment information on the 14th, but its status hasn't changed at all since then.
