Pearl is known for interesting offers and good prices. Today I visited the site and discovered a very interesting offer. It is a mobile phone. Strictly speaking, it is a fully-featured smartphone with touch screen, Windows Mobile 6 Professional, triband, Bluetooth and 300MHz processor from Intel. The cell phone cost 139.90 without a contract. Perl offers this phone under the name Mobile Simvalley. Because it is quite normal that electronics devices from leading manufacturers are offered as no-name products by Pearl, I made a quick search and found out that Pearl sells under the name Simvalley XP-25 a Smartphone by the Russian company RoverPC (RoverPC C6 ).
I don’t know much about this company. What I know is that this company is not a newcomer at the market and provides PDAs and smartphones based on Windows Mobile since several years. In Russia, this company is naturally more popular than here, because they are selling their devices more cheap, than big and known electronic manufacturers.
The features of this cell phone are actually, quite OK. You can find everything you need in it. The only thing I would like to have in that device, is certainly WLAN. But because I use the WLAN only at home, I don’t need actually in the mobile phone. An important point is also the possibility to update the operating system to Windows Mobile 6.1. The option, to update the operating system, will be offered not by all mobile phone manufacturers. So I was not able, for example, to update my Asus A636N, because Asus, apparently for marketing reasons, no offered the update for Germany, but for many other countries he does it.
Of course I described here not all details about the phone, because I do not think they are very important, but I would say, this offer ist very interesting for people, who are not able to invest a lot of money in a cell phone. From my own experience I would say that Pearl is not so quick as Amazon, but if you decide to purchase the phone, you should be aware that you will wait a bit until the goods arrive. But perhaps it was an exception case with me and you would receive the product very quickly.
Just wanted to say HI. I found your blog a few days ago on Technorati and have been reading it over the past few days.
