This Unlocked Cell Phones give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Great phone! - Select the right model for your 3G data service
I bought this item from MobileCityOnline. Before buying, i contacted them to be sure that the model offered (GT-I8160L) was compatible with my operator's 3G data service and it was!. Please beware that there are two models for the Ace 2 where the only difference is the 3G band compatibility.

Model ------- 3G Bands support
GT-I8160 ---- 900/2100 MHz (Digitel in Venezuela for example. Most operators in Europe use these bands).
GT-I8160L --- 850/1900 MHz (AT&T in USA, Movilnet/Movistar in Venezuela for example. Most operators in the american continent use these bands).

At first blush the phone seems to perform great. Nice screen and resolution, android gingerbread (ICS comming soon) and vga front camera. Worth spending US$ 20-30 more in comparison to the ace and ace plus. Despite the price difference, the phone is still at a good price considering the specs provided.

You can't go wrong with this phone.

2. Will NOT get 3G from T-mobile
I bought this phone thinking what a great deal for a mid-range smartphone and then found out that it would not support the 3G from T-mobile. T-Mobile uses the 1700/2100 mhz frequency for their 3G network. You need the phone to support BOTH frequency in order to get 3G. Maybe AT&T supports the frequencies on this phone. Check with carrier before buying! I had to return this and get a different phone. Also, if you want the NFC enabled phone, make sure to get the i8160P version. P=NFC...no P means no NFC. Hope this helps!

Great phone
Check with vendor the 3G/HSPA frequency. I understand vendors import from various countries. The unit I received was GT-i8160L, which seems to be designed for Latin America. Tech specifications available online indicate 900/2100 MHz for 3G (not 850/2100 MHz as Amazon states) so may not work with some operators in US.
