Myphone a858 duo review

Myphone a858 duo review


Looking for an android phone thats dual sim? Try the Myphone A858 duo.

 

Box of A858 duoGSM/Edge Triband




3.95" 320 x480 pixels TFT HVGA

Front face of Myphone A858 duo

Android 2.3

WIFI/ GPS

3.2 MP rear camera




Bluetooth

back of A858 duo

Stereo FM Radio

Expandable Memory upto 16 gb




A858 duo thickness

RAM 400 usable

It's a little bit thicker than a cricket lighter.

All in all, good enough quality of LCD - Big enough to enjoy looking at pictures.




Speed in performance when using for browsing - almost the same as HTC chacha.

No Front Camera.

Slight lag in taking pictures.

Default qwerty keyboard for texting.

Battery life is a little over a day - with moderate use for bluetooth ( since I use a headset), wifi and data plan.

On the plus side - skype video calling works - able to see video for both parties. (drawback - its either you are seen in the video or you see the one you are talking to, why? camera is at the back of the phone. lol)

Turn your PC into a wireless router.

Always on the go? Always working on your laptop outside the office? Ever needed to share your laptop's internet to your phone,ipad, or other devices and forgot to bring the cords?




Yesterday, a techie friend of mine  recommended to me a free software developed open source that could help solve your problems. Its called VIRTUAL ROUTER. And it turns your standard laptop to a router and lets other wifi users connect to the internet via your connection.

Security concerns? No worries. The virtual router includes the standard security like password protection for your Virtual Router connection.




The software was developed by Chris Pietschmann - Chris is a Microsoft MVP on the Windows Live Platform, a Co-Founder of Carto LLC.

Virtual router can be used with any Windows 7 or Windows 2008 R2 Computer.

So it's time to say goodbye to your wireless routers and hello Virtual Router!
