    512 mb is a bit on the low site?

    Are the goods they sell genuine?

    I suppose the pricing is reasonable otherwise it wouldn't be on here?

    Depends what you're buying, they sell a massive amount of knock-off's, but they're never sold as a branded product.

    If you're going to buy a Chinese phone you can get double the spec for that price.

    Bad purchase imo. You've overpaid
  • I'm not convinced buying this way is worth all the risk when you could have got the amazing Motorola RAZR 1 for £150 direct from T Mobile last week.

    It does seem to win on every specification except if you don't want a 5" phone, 4.5 is plenty big enough for me as it is.

    Then there is the make Lenovo, most the stuff from them I have seen lets say reflects the low cost, Huawei make decent hardware, however lets wait and see for the reviews. If really they got a 2250mah battery in a 9.4mm phone that would be handy.

    Really? My perception (and experience) of Lenovo is that they make fairly good quality, reliable stuff. We bought FIL a Lenovo Thinkpad seven years ago and it's still doing sterling daily service. We also bought an Ideapad recently and it appears to be very well made with a very good quality fit, finish and spec - it's a pleasure to use.

    Completely agree, plus the RAZR i is a better handset anyway.

    Even the Lenovo is bad value.

    You can get a phone with the same spec as the Xperia Z for under £150 (excl tax and obviously not waterpoof or as amazing camera, stil 13mp though)
