I too was condidering those phones.They sem to have all the stuff in all the right places. I was going to open an ebay shop for my sone to get his head into business and well, Chinese electronics seem a good way to go. It's a big risk as many of the trade leads I've followed up don't want to send samples to a non established business. ( I can't convince them that my construction company is going to market electronics )

yeah, the joy of alibaba.com :)I've noticed that for most companies specifications consists of shipping volumes and payment terms and nothing else. Which is all the more annoying for those random little things I find myself needing that I know are made in random chinese sweat shops and end up costing over the odds over here.
I've found one company that seems kosher, they'll sell individual items to private individuals, still need to buy in bulk off them to get proper bargains though www.chinavasion.com not to be confused with www.chinavision.com who seem to copy their website and cause mayhem..
out of all the looking I've done only found one that seems to have a good enough reputation for me to spend $$ with.
I thought you did business in china previously?
But, surely a construction company might want to make gifts to potential clients as part of happy fun business interaction?
Guess if you aren't buying in K quantities you don't matter. :)

I've done business in China on the pastbut in a different area. I don't have a problem with volume and will happily buy 200 units of an item. I just would like to see some product before I find I'm embarrassed trying to shift a load of old tat on ebay ;)

oh it's all shite, let's be honest :)the thing that's stopping me going nuts and trying to flog a load of crap is that I wonder about how many returns there'd be, quality control seems to consist of putting a little "QA Approved" sticker on everything and carting it up
I'd add a 0 to that 200 units to be honest :)
Dunno what the answer is to getting samples short of actually visiting the companies themselves.
