I have had this phone for months now and it still works^^.
i have ugraded it from 1.6 OS to 2.1 OS, i run Ndrive navigation on it(tom tom/navman etc) works sweet.
Very easy to work and navigate around, mulitple home screens are cool for all my access icons, saves scrolling down rows of icons, just a swipe or two of my finger and im at the one i want.
txting is smooth once i changed keyboard layout (big fingers) calling is also clear and have had no signal issues.
i constantly listen to music, watch my MMA vids or play games during my smoko's on it, with no lockups or glitches.
im a sheetmetal fabricator so my phone is constantly around machinary and welders, dust and high freqency power sources.
like i said "it still works".
it hooks into my WiFi as soon as im in range and updates my phone so im current with weather and sea conditions for instant "go for fishing".
For anyone in NewZealand: "YES" it works perfectly on telecoms XT network as well as voda and 2deg.
market place is a breeze to access, and being able to download other stuff via my pc and transfer to my phone is cool, as there is so much software out there for this type of phone.
All up its a great phone that can be changed to suit you and how you work, and being able to take a knock is a plus (dropped it a few times lol).
I think you will be very pleased with buying this phone, its "more" than worth the price tag.
chocolate cake for the chinavasion crew for bringing us this Smart Phone

So, this phone is absolutely amazing as it will do everything a smartphone should be doing. The processor is fast and screen responds very well as well.

The phone is indeed a nice Android experience. With this phone you'll get:
- Android 2.1
- All of the elements needed in a modern phone (G-sensor, sensitive screen, A-GPS, compass)
- Nice, crisp screen

Cheers Chinavasion!

Agree with all the other reveiws, great Andriod Phone surpasses othe Andriod Phone on the Market especailly on price.

I bought the phone and had to share this review of it that Redferret did http://www.redferret.net/?p=21015 which pretty much sums up my own experience of using the phone.

This phone is amazing, the screen quality is perfect (watch mp4 with perfect quality), easy to use, responsive touchscreen. Wifi is better than other Chinese phones I had in the past.

Thoroughly impressed. Easy to use, good clear reception. Great wifi and Bluetooth. Woks on both Networks in NZ (Vodafone and xt). Plenty of useful apps around, generally all free. GPS works great with google maps. Highly recommend

This is perhaps one of the best mobile phones for the mobile techie. In the US, Android devices are outselling the competition, and I suppose gadget retailers should take a look at the Excalibur.

Got this today and tested out on all the 3G networks in australia including telstra's NextG and worked a charm. Not really a google fan but quite impressed with the system and interface takes a while to get used to but quite easy to work with. Already sold this to a customer who was watching me play around with it. Will be ordering more.
