BLU Tank Blue Unlocked Cell Phone (T190)

Pros: Cheap, Dual-Sim, Works. There's not much else to this phone.

Cons: No manual lock function. There's a phone lock that can be setup that will auto-lock the phone after a couple minutes, but there's no sleep or lock button. This is really my only gripe. The interface is a little clunky but for $30, that's to be expected.

Pros: - Quad band, unlocked.
- Dual SIMs.
- Micro SD slot.
- Non-standard battery.
- Price.
- Lightweight.
- Usual stuff like calculator, alarms, FM, music player, video player are
included. Haven't tried all of them yet.
- Charges via mini USB.
- Works with ATT.

Cons: - No physical volume keys.
- No earphone connection, although this is my fault for not researching more.
If there is a way to get external earphones with the USB connector, there's
no mention of it anywhere to be found. Can anyone from Blu please provide
more information?
- Cannot re-assign the left/right/down keys on the home screen. Up is to
change profile.
- Music player does not work, probably because this phone has so little memory.

Other Thoughts: This phone is good basic World phone. At this price, even if it gets damaged or
lost while travelling, it's no big loss. I would have really appreciated this phone
at any point in the last 5 years of travelling.

Pros: Has lots of features for a cheap phone. Seems durable.

Cons: No headphone jack. Call quality is not as good as with my S3

Other Thoughts: I bought this phone for travel so I won't care if it gets lost or stolen

Pros: FM radio is nice

Cons: unable to adjust call volume, could not get speed-dial to work, clock time not accurate, color of phone not the same as pictured in the ad or on the box; it's turquoise, can not be returned for refund if box is opened.

Other Thoughts: I bought this because it is a 2-SIM phone, for use with ATT and T-mobile MVNOs. There are separate indicators for signal strength and missed calls. There is only one icon for voicemail, but a banner scrolls across the bottom of the screen and identifies which SIM received the last voicemail message. If someone calls you on one SIM while you are talking on the phone using the other SIM, there was no sound to let me know that the other call was coming in, and nothing appeared on the screen to indicate that someone was ringing the other SIM. The small owners manual offers little help. I had to try to figure out on my own why things weren't working as they should. I do not reccomend this phone.
