    Default dm800 clone

    what a pissy little retainer for the sim card holder it was half broken off when i got it and the card did not sit right (no ca). wedged it down with a tooth pick i will have to put some hot melt on it.also you have to make sure you have a clone image or put a downgrade on the end of it to make it work.(steep learning curve last night),and soooo slow to boot i think i like the 500 better.And power supply don't work, currently using the 500's but not really big enough but it gets it going.so now i have to do battle with china to get a new power supply.i am tempted to open it up and try to fix it myself.

    Default You get what you pay for..

    Seen plenty of broken dm500 clones from China too.

    How much did you pay?

    Well, you got it from China & you saved a few bucks.

    What you didn't take into account is the cost of postage to return faulty items can be prohibitive.
    Whats more the sellers know this, so the cheapskate trying to buy a few 'samples' will often be used to offloaded boxes that have failed quality control because they know it won't be worth the buyers time to return it

    Anyway, thread closed.

    This is a problem you have between yourself and your Chinese supplier.
    You will need to take the problems up with them.
    Reality is an invention of my imagination.
