This Unlocked Cell Phones give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Galaxy 551 - misleading info provided by Amazon
I've ordered it for my daughter - was just looking for an unlocked QWERTY entry level Android. Got the phone the other day - i was ordering the one from Amazon. So what i've received was:
- the phone itself: it is a not a factory unlocked version - it is a hacked / unlocked version of Orange (EU operator) phone, with Orange software (you can't uninstall this), Orange logos on it and the worst thing - not a QWERTY keyboard. This is a French version, so you get AZERTY keyboard, since French keyboard looks different.
- what i've received in the box also left a strange impression: it was sent not in original box (at least Samsung was spelled correctly on the box), "hand-crafted" manual with a lot of spelling mistakes, the phone itself was not in original protective shields (looked like it was opened before), earphones in the packcage with English / GB marking, while charger was maked in French.
Anyhow, this is still a good phone, and if you are ok with a French AZERTY...
2. NOT a QWERTY keyboard!
I read the reviews, and saw that some people were saying it, and that some were getting a QWERTY, so I took a chance. Sadly, I was not a winner, I did not get a QWERTY keyboard, I got what I can only describe as a French AZERTY keyboard. Now it is too late to send it back for an exchange before Christmas. Also know that the one I received was an "Orange" branded phone, and that it had been completely opened and mauled a bit, I am guessing that they simply bought a whole bunch of old French Orange cell phones in bulk, and are opening them, and "unlocking" them, and reselling them (or trying to, as they are knowingly misleading people with the bold letters QWERTY in the description).
So in closing:
Opened (box mauled, not suitable for a gift, unless you like giving people things that appear used).
It is new (but man-handled during the unlock process).
Looks like they may have been the "$1 with 2-year contract" phones from Orange (Orange branding...
Need more appointment... ?

got the phone the other day
it's kind of hard to access the upper side of the keyboard buttons but the rest looks ok

Android is running smooth and picks the WiFi networks around
