Oleg_zd,Yes exactly. Both are working at the reception, but when talking, the inactive Simka "falls off";)

[dimon.zankovski]

Sorry for the indiscreet question, and maybe it will be firmware version 4.3, or 4.4?) NOT now of course, but later, just wondering.

Well, I was only going to buy this device for myself, thank you for the info, + from me;)

[Raven0r]

Oleg_zd,Yes, quit) This is not such a significant minus and it can’t prevent you from conducting business negotiations with your partners, or at the same time calming down your grandmother and mother;)
dimon.zankovski,unlikely, in the near future, it may be. But at the moment, the situation with the Chinese phones is such that manufacturers will better release a new phone model with a newer OS and better stuffing, at a similar price, due to this contributes to the time gap between models and the fall in prices for components, which will bother with the release of updates for current phones. But the situation is changing rapidly, and perhaps everything will change in the near future, as I said above. But not in the next couple of years;) Unless some Kulibin does this and does not concoct a custom core with buns for this model :)

[userthl]

on youtube there is a video review of 200, so there the author declares that you need a C10 card not lower, then you’re almost not warming up at the games

[Oleg_zd]

Raven0r,
But don't you know, if you go online with one, the second one will not be available?

[Tadyk]

dimon.zankovski,Tell me, does the key illumination really look ugly, or will it?

[bzby]

Waiting for this model.
I looked at the branch and saw a couple of reviews that there is no bug in this smart, and one review does not know what kind of bug it is.
It's about thl bugW200(gaming bug with "dualtach"):
THL W200 - Firmware (Post # 28480665)
It should be noted thatW200Is there a touch for 10 touches and an old one? On 5 touches, ie, probably there is a bug not everywhere (but especially nobody understood?).
Though soon I expect to get smart, butdue to big discounts ali on the 25th- There may be a desire to buy another one for sale.
So I will not refuse details on this issue from specialists.

If there is a bug, then it is necessary to notify the manufacturer about it in the shortest possible time through video and mass disputes to the product (otherwise the manufacturer does not reach, individual complaints do not strain him), albeit symbolic.

Drony2005, - well, if it is bright on w8, then on w200 there is nothing there at all?)))) I just have w8))

Tadyk @ 03/23/2014, 7:46 PM

Say, dimon.zankovski, do the backlight of the keys really look ugly, or will it?

Photo backlight 200s with THB B8 withflashandwithout

For comparisona photobacklight with v200s old kotsanogo v8)

You can say it is not present, in the afternoon it is not visible. At B8, it is ok.

Tadyk,to whom, as to me personally, this does not play such an important role, the highlight is beautiful blue, it is normally visible in the dark.

On the off site it seems like a couple of kitman news (in the near future))))

DeeSen, I have, yesterday received, happy as an elephant :)

How are you doing with GPS? They say that it works out of the box?

I'm still waiting, just left for the airport: thank_you:

[bulat42]

Oleg_zd @ 03/23/2014, 4:33 PM

Do you know, if one goes to the Internet, the second will not be available?

Why do you ask elementary things, never had a Chinese smart? Everything is as usual, the second is cut down only when you call one by one, and you can use the Internet, it will not turn off

[DDf`]

Question to the owners (or former owners) of both versions of smart W200 and W200S, how to screen? Remained the same, with the same color, the theme of the viewing angles or changed?

Oleg_zd @ 03/23/2014, 3:57 PM

inactive simka "falls off"

I was interested in this question in the W200 branch (they did not seem to have answered there). I did not understand then how it is with one radio module "two active SIM cards". It turned out as it was supposed, as standard for the majority of “dvuhsimochnikov”: you call one by one - the second one is out of access. I can not say that surprised))

[vovikvvl]

To buy this devicefor Ukraine I advisehttp://knopka.in.ua/, adequate, everything is fast, if something goes to a meeting, and you will not find such prices. The store is putny, I already bought the 3rd smart.

[Raven0r]

Oleg_zd,you can) If you sit on the Internet with one SIM card, the second one will still be available. I will say more, the 3G module can be switched in real time between sims, in the settings.
DDf`,it feels like the screen is a bit tougher or something) And the sound is more glassy when tapped, maybe it is a self-suggestion. In general, I did not see the difference between the screens. Both are beautiful. Bright, clear, juicy.

[GUNm4n]

I wanted w200 so much and was afraid of price increases due to the dollar rate that I bought w200 without waiting for w200s =) But are there any advantages of w200s in general? There is 1 GB of memory left, the backlight of the keys is still virtually invisible, all the functionality is completely unchanged, even the newer Android version is not. MB and I was right, not taking 200s? Is the 8-core percent for a non-FullHD display relevant at all?

Oleg_zd,And the sound is more glass when tapping, maybe it's a self-suggestion. In general, I did not see the difference between the screens. Both are beautiful. Bright, clear, juicy.

Compared to B8, the sound of the B200 is more plastic ... At a small angle (more, if you raise the left edge), the grid clearly appears. It annoys me so much. Yes, the screen is bright. Juicy, white is white (in these parameters it loses much in B8), but this grid ... In the fall, the old B200 spit a couple of times, there it didn’t catch my eye. Fonts are the same as on v8 in definition. Previously, I had no complaints, but recently the mpai 809t passed through my hands, there is a significant difference. Everything is clearer there.
Also, while it is not clear with an oz. Android writes 500 free, anttu 100 + -. This case is still testing whether applications will be unloaded ...

LED notification indication does not work (except for charging and when discharging up to 5%). Does everyone have this problem or only me?
