Mitac Mio 8390 review

Do not buy - it has a fatal bug


Nifty features but fails on the basic duty of a phone: receiving calls. Has a bug where the phone suddenly loses network coverage and reconnects without a reboot. Means at any given time the phone in your pocket could be out of service and you never know it. Took it in to be repaired multiple times but they could not fix it and would not replace my phone or refund my money. You've been warned!
