FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

* Is this phone like the iPhone?
No, this phone is better than the iPhone! Unlike the iPhone, the M43 comes fully unlocked and ready for use with any network or carrier straight out of the box. You do not need to use any firmware hacks and risk "bricking" the phone. The M43 also has dual SIM and video recording functionality (unlike the iPhone) and doesn't require a firmware update to send/receive MMS messages.
* Is this phone like the Chinese HiPhone, APhone, SciPhone and or Chinese touchscreen phones?
No, this is better than all of them. Unlike with other Chinese touchscreen phones, the M43 comes with a full 12-month warranty from Chinavasion along with a professional in-house customer support service. You can also be secure in the knowledge that your M43 has gone through rigorous QC testing before it is shipped direct to you.
* This phone has an accelerometer, what exactly is that?
This is a built-in motion sensor that tracks when the electronic device has been tilted or swiveled. It is a feature most commonly used to change images in a photo viewer or to change tracks in an audio player.
* How many phone book contacts can this cellphone hold?
This phone can up to 600 contacts. 200 contacts for each of the two SIM cards, and another 200 in the phone memory itself.
* How long should I charge the battery before first use?
Before you use the battery for the first time, please charge it for 12 hours.
* Can I change the ringtone on this cellphone?
This phone comes with 10 default ring tones featuring famous songs like the Theme from Mission Impossible and The Pachelbel Canon. Or you can easily use your own music track as a ring tone. Better yet, use the sound recorder function to record your own voice and use that as your ringtone.
* What is the purpose of the rotating touchscreen?
A rotating touchscreen is convenient if you want to take pictures of yourself and by twisting and laying it flat, you can transform this unit into a iPhone-type mobile phone.
* It says this cellphone comes in polished black. What does that mean?
To get a sense of polished black think about a black grand piano and how the wood finish looks like. That's polished black.
* How do I record phone conversations with this phone?
While you are in conversation, the menu will display a record option. Once you're done recording, simply activate the sound recorder program and play the file you just recorded.
* Should I load MP3's or WAV music files into my phone to listen to?
It's a trade off really. With MP3's, you get lower audio quality, but because of its small file size you can fit more into memory. With WAV files, you get CD quality music, but on average, one WAV file is equivalent in size to ten MP3 files.
