This is going to shake up the cell phone market big time
when people catch on. I am usually ahead of the pack when
it comes to certain things.
This is a 10 inch diagonal phablet with android 4.42.
A phablet is a combination smart phone and tablet.
In case you don't know
Has all the accouterments of expensive smart phones.
ARM Cortex A8 processor 1 to 1.5 gigi cycles per second
I think it has four processors. It is super fast.
4 gig flash
512 meg ram
32 gig micro sd card.
2 sim cards (2 telephone numbers)
3g unlocked
The best thing for me is the quality of the audio Maria Callas sounds
even better
on the inland speaker system I mentioned and ear phones.
When I heard Maria sing on this I was really sold.
Here is the surprising thing it sells for only about $100.
It is comparable to cell phones and phablets selling for up to $500.
Comes with a case and a full size USB keyboard with real tactile
feed back individual keys.
Amazon sells them if you want an ultra reliable supplier.
It is called the American Pumpkin made in China of course.
I had my 8" BLU Phablet in my jacket pocket and I tripped and
fell down on it. The glass was shattered of course and bent the
aluminum frame. I paid $300 for it but it was history.
I do not get money for this. I just thought some of you would like
to know about it.

Paul,
Thanks, for passing on what looks like a great deal, and for me at the
right time! Both my wife, and I need a smart phone device.

I had bought one of those, and experienced some problems.
There is nothing wrong with the china phones but please take the
following into account when picking one:
1. check with your carrier, while every unlocked phone will sign on
with your carrier, some use different frequencies for data.
On my carrier they used 1100 for 2G, 1400 for 3G and 1800 for 4G,
my Chinese phone used 1100 for 2G, 1200 for 3G and 1600 for 4G.
So while I had data but only at the 2G speed due to the phone.
2. check the frequencies your carrier uses for the phone and
roaming use, some chinese phones only use one frequency for voice
therefore even though your carrier uses non-charged roaming services
from other companies, your phone with only one voice frequency will not
roam.
There are alot of differences in frequency use by different
carriers, be sure to check carefully before buying a phone to make sure
you will get to
use all the services you paid for with your carrier.

Thanks David. What a coincidence :-)
It seems to be working on T-Mobile so far. I have my fingers crossed.
The data rate is very fast when using it with the DSL WiFi modem I
have on
my hard wired phone line. I have not tried the Internet yet on a
T-Mobile cell
phone tower however.
One minor problem is it uses the recent big sim cards but the
T-Mobile office had
some adapters to enlarge my small sim card out of my crashed BLU
and that worked.

The carriers in canada supply a card with,regular, micro and nano sim
all in one. It surprises me
that a carrier would supply anything else ! Many industrial grade
laptops and pads have a slot
for a radio card.
Steve Carlisle
Are you talking about WiFi or cell phone towers?
Are you saying that in Canada you can get a card for your computer that
gives it telephone capabilities?
That is kind of strange. Most notebooks in the last 5 years or so have
built in WiFi
transmitters and receivers. Mine works in Europe, NZ and Oz so far.
Of course all smart phones and tablets have WiFi them as well as cell
phone TX an RX..
