Hi,
I purchased X7 from Measy earlier this month.
Stock (but stripped down) Mobile phone OS, (eg Camera app for non-existent camera).
There was no Android Market. Later Measy sent me an update with the Android market app.
But try as I might, I just cannot sign in to my Google A/c.
I get an error message:
"Cannot establish a reliable connection to Google Servers.
Your phone may not have provision for data services. If problem persists call customer care ".
So the Android market app is pretty useless.
I wrote to Measy, but they think there's something wrong at my end, and it is 'strange'.
I just set up Google accounts on 2 Android phones of my relatives from the same WiFi network as X7. No problem there.
Video player/music player etc is the stock Android apps. These are great for touch-screens but a pain when trying to operated via remote.
The remote is pretty basic, without much functionality.
It does not even have FFWD & FREV keys so one has to juggle with the on-screen "touch" controls (using the OK , <- , -> keys) which is frustrating.
No local network capability. A Network icon is present, but that just scans & reports other PCs in the network, but you cannot open any of the folders.
I wrote to Measy, and they say they are trying to find the solution.
X7 claimed Flash support, but mine wouldn't play flash videos. I wrote to Measy & then they sent me Flash 11.1 apk to install, and then the flash support appeared.
WiFi / internet connection is good. Facebook , Youtube, Web Bowser are all working fine.
One needs to install their own apps for X7 to be as usable and easy as E8HD (for example).
I have installed my own apks for Media playing, File browser, Bittorrent client, Web Browser, system Backup Utility, News, Internet Radio etc which I found after spending hours googling.
So, X7 is definitely not (at least not yet) a 'use it out of the box' product.
It seems that it was hurriedly put together & sold without thorough testing.
The bright side is that one becomes somewhat of an Android expert thanks to the tweaking one has to do !
And to repeat, no Android Market in the stock X7.
And the market is the main reason why one would buy an Android device.
