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..


Paul Lamar

Not Strange at all. Panasonic Toughbooks, and industrial computers
from other manufacturers have used by the Gov police fire, and
military for over 20 years. these computers are up-gradable with many
options. Whatever software one decides to use, are what services you
can have.

Steve Carlisle

Is this a police two way radio?

Connect to whom?

What is SMS?

Are you in the Mounties?

Paul Lamar


SMS is text messaging.

Mark LaPierre


I am too old for that :-)
