Good value
Posted by Mike on 12th Oct 2012
Phone arrived & all was as expected, although the phone says it has Android 4.0.3, but its definitely only 2.3.x. Maybe its a custom ROM ?Its a Sony Experia Arc lookalike.
Occasional 'lag' when scrolling but hey, what do you expect for under 100 GBP.
Pity that the back cover cracked the first time I took it off to insert the battery.
Definitely worth the money, especially if using it as a 'reserve' phone.
ANSWER:
thank you for taking the time to post a review, its well appreciated

X18i on Telecom XT & 2 Degrees
Posted by LittleDave on 10th Sep 2012
Came with ICS 4.0.1 :) which seems to allow front camera to take 8MP (3264x2448) pictures rather than 3.2MP listed? Installed all my regular apps and it is running ok with my work Telecom XT (in GSM slot) and personal 2 Degrees SIM (in WCDMA slot). Have to change 3G from XT to 2 Degrees SIM to get 3G data on 2 Degrees and this disables XT network but I don't run data on 2 Degrees. Nice clear & responsive screen. Not 500MB RAM as originally stated on website, now corrected on website down to actual 256MB. Would have preferred touch Return, Home and Menu buttons rather than awkward physical buttons. Recommend getting Soft Silicone Cover Case for equivalent sized SONY ERICSSON Xperia Arc S as slick plastic back on X18i. Headphones a lot better than expected. Great phone for price.
ANSWER: thank you for taking the time to post a review on the unit its well appreciated its been a pleasure serving you, thanks

Does Skype work?
Posted by Meg on 10th Sep 2012
I just got this phone and it seems to be working very well. I just have a question about using Skype. I am using this phone with 2G network for calls, and wi-fi for internet access. I downloaded Skype from Market and installed it. Skype warned me that the device is not certified, but I was able to install it. I cannot, however, sign in. I just get signed out automatically. Is there any way to get Skype to work on this phone? Or any other Video Chat app that can work via Wi-Fi?
ANSWER: Thank you for taking the time to post your comments on the unit, frankly I did not try skype on it yet, but now I will do some reasearch for you, the fact that its not skype certified does not matter as most phones are not skype certified, I will have to search on android forums to try to find out, there must be a way or a firmware as this phone is very popuplar, please email us at techhelp@merimobiles.com, this way we can open a ticket for you and check it out, thanks

Great Phone!
Posted by Vyacheslav on 10th Sep 2012
Just received mine. First thought - omg, look at that, it's awesome! Light weight, accurately assembled, nice looking. It was a little bit hard to understand how to open the battery cover, (I don't wished to brake it, so I found a video on Youtube). Battery is really 2000mha, and there are two, not one as specified. UI working fast. Google Maps, Mail, and other programs are just flying. Now the cons... Don't be scary, it's not a Cons - just a things I wished to see :) The power button is small, it's little hard to press it, especially if you have a big fingers. The Home, Back and Menu buttons are hard to press - it's can be difficult to press it, holding the phone in the same hand. The USB socket (and the power charger socket at the same time) is tight covered by decor plug, you need to pull it harder, to plug the cord to the base. After all, I want to buy two more phones to my friends - so, the cons not a problem at all.
ANSWER: Thank you for taking the time to post a review on the unit, agreed , the power button is small, apart from that though its a great bang for the buck , good android smartphone, thanks

MISC
Posted by Jheck21 on 10th Sep 2012
The power button is somewhat difficult to press. You need to press it hard and for more than five seconds before you can wake the phone. The USB cover is a little bit tacky too. It is not flushed to the casing of the phone.
ANSWER: thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on the unit, to wake up the unit when its on sleep mode you can press any other button aswell, that can be activated in the phone menu, thank you and happy holidays to you and your family, thanks
