Umi's web page says this:

Network Band

2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz

3G: WCDMA 900/2100MHz

Got by Walmart today and got hooked up on their tmobile family plan.

This is what I found about their network

T-Mobile operates its GSM network at 1900 Mhz. Phones sending and receiving data on T-Mobile, with EDGE and HSPA+, use 1700 Mhz for uploads and 2100 Mhz for downloads.

Roaming

T-Mobile's postpaid customers can access roaming services in areas where T-Mobile does not have network coverage. Roaming may be on standard GSM 1900 Mhz frequencies, or extended roaming areas can offer connectivity at 850 Mhz.

Here are the things I have tested so far:

Ok, so I was able to check out some more stuff on this thing. The gps seems to be working good. Anyone who's ever owned a GPS knows that the first time finding the satellites takes the longest. Probably up to 5-10 times longer than it normally would. And that's what I've confirmed with this phone. I left it outside for about 10 minutes the first time I connected to GPS. The second time I was standing at a windows in my house and connected in about a minute give or take. That seems to be how my Garmin behaves also.

I stated earlier the vibrate function was functional on mine but it is making a kind of a shrill rattling sound. Not Horrible but a bit annoying.

I took a few videos and then watched them on the phone. The videos look pretty decent with no frame skipping, auto focus seems decent and it has a 4x digital zoom.

Wifi:

I pinged in at 36ms and hitting around 16.5mbps download speeds and 4mbps upload. That's about all my home wireless is capable of. I was uploading at about 7.5 on my works wifi.

The LED works for a flashlight app. And I verified that the led work as a flash for the camera also. It seems bright but not fantastically so.

The light up buttons turn on for 8 seconds when I touch them and then turn off. I don't know if this is the "correct" way for them to work but it seems good to me.

Scored an 11600 in antutu.

Bluetooth Function was tested with a pair of Bluetooth headphones. Found and paired with the set in under 30 seconds.

FM Radio functions. It does need plug in headphones to use as an antenna.

The auto screen brightness feature works but it didn't get it bright enough for me in direct sunlight. That could also be because the semi blurry screen protector they sent also covers up the light sensor. When I set the brightness up all the way I was able to see everything well enough in broad daylight but it seemed it could have been a little brighter. It did look better than any of the 3 android tablets I have or have had.

Compass works well.

One thing I didn't pay enough attention about when I ordered this phone, it doesn't have a micro hdmi out. Only has the micro usb port and the 3.5mm audio connection. It does have wireless display though.

The phone speaker seem to be decent has good volume and clear sound. Doesn't sound tinny or cheap.

Mine came pre-rooted from pandawill. Pandawill states they do not preroot so I'm assuming it ships from UMI this way?

Wi-Fi tethering and portable hotspot works.

Phone gets to be a little warm after continual use.

Well I've tested about everything I can at the moment.

Overall I'm very happy with my purchase everything seemed to be right on the money minus a couple of small things. No phone or tablet is perfect but this one has came closer than anything else I've tried in the past. You won't find some of the features on this phone on any other phone stateside for under $800.00. For $300.... I say :good:

I hope someone finds this info useful.

Cheers!

P.S. This forum logged me out while I was writing this.. guess I took too long. Good thing I made a copy before I tried to post, because I wouldn't write it again!
