Last week, I received a Starmobile FeatureSmart T601i courtesy of Starmobile, when they gave away the phones to all media and bloggers that were invited during the launch. I’ve been using the phone for over a week now and these are my thoughts on the phone. There is also an original article on the T601i at StyleRPA.com.
Introduction
These days, touchscreen is the way to go if somebody wants a snazzy phone. However, the cost of these mobile devices are prohibitive to most people, where those with screens larger than 3″ costing about eight grand or more (in Philippine Pesos). The local mobile phone companies, which mostly import pre-made phones from Chinese or Indian companies, try to compete with the major brands by customizing and re-branding the imported devices. However, these usually can’t hold their ground when faced even with the most basic Samsung device (such as the Samsung Corby 2) — that is until I saw Starmobile’s Feature Smart T601i.
