I regret to say the Chinese PDA phone hasn't worked out very well. Here are the problems.

1/ The size of eBooks is limited to 1000 bytes. How anyone got this design idea, I cannot imagine. It is clearly a fake eBook reader. Maybe they just hate their customers.
2/ The phone does not support Java. There is no way to add programs to remediate the deficiencies of the phone.
3/ If your MP3 is over a certain length (maybe 6M), it quits playing in the middle of the song.
4/ The Tflash (micro SD) card fails to read when the phone is connected to the PC via USB. While attempting to copy a file, the card loses its connection to USB.
5/ The phone does not have a common operating system such as Linux or Symbian or Palm. Thus it is impossible to get help.

The phone has a lot of appeal -- large screen, good sound. But it doesn't hold up in the long run. Mine developed a screen crack. The touchscreen stopped working. It had not been dropped. One of my ladies called the factory in Guandong Province. They seemed to know nothing about the phone. They referred us to a repair shop in Kunming. The phone numbers for the repair shop failed to work. I have a support email in the works.

GXQ markets other products such as land-line phones and MP3/MP4 players. Be wary of putting your money down for any of them. This company is clearly more interested in your money than in your well-being and satisfaction.

This product (GXQ NT6306) is badly in need of a firmware upgrade. Will it get one? Stay tuned.
