Mine just arrived today (from buyincoins, two months after initial order), and I've been playing with it for a while. It's fairly capable, and for the price I ordered at ($110), it's a good deal.
The interface:
It's interface is a mishmash of kanjii, english, and iOS, slapped in a Jelly Bean blender. Some apps are impossible to use for english-only users (me), while others are, well, odd.
The build:
This phone wasn't designed for single-hand use. If you complained that the NES controllers were too small, you'll like this one. For me, who has average sized hands, it's slightly too big for single-hand use, and just perfect for two-hand typing.
It's lightweight, plastic-y, and cheap-feeling. That's because it is cheap (foofighter, you nitwit, you!). The included silicon case makes it feel better, but even that doesn't make up for the feel.
Let's play Temple Run!
Yes. You read that right. It comes with Temple Run. Okay, not the Temple Run, but a Disneyfied-Oz take on Temple Run. Surprisingly, I was able to play it with one hand fairly comfortably. I wound up using both for precision. It was very responsive, very fun.
Can it play Crysis?
No. I'm not sure that it can play N.O.V.A either- I haven't been able to use Google Play. I wouldn't pin much hope on it, either. It is, after all, an MTK6589.
A word on rooting:
I wasn't able to get it rooted by any method I've tried. Period. SRS, SuperOneClick, Fararoot, Bin4ry- none worked for me. Could be my Windows 8 laptop. In my hunt, I was directed to this forum by this article @ Gizbeat.
One post down, two to go.
