Review: So Far so Good Watch this space (Rating Edited from 3 to 5 Stars) - The phone is well engineered and the set up was reasonable "pain free" with one exception, see later. The manual supplied was inaccurate showing the wrong location of the power button, not a serious problem but a little annoying. I transferred all apps and data from my old phone with no problems. Its early days to asses the full functionality but I will return to give a more detailed review in a couple of months time, if I remember. The main problem with the set up and the reason I have only given 3 stars was the use of the power button. The phone did not initially start whilst I held down the power button, once I had found it! After a search of the Internet I discovered that in Android 15 the function of the start button is redefined by the operating system, no mention of this in the very brief instructions or the download pdf for PL7000. I find it bizarre that a power button should have other than an on/off functionality. Given price and overall specification I would almost recommend this phone. But please all you phone manufactures and distributers reduce the "bloat Ware" 70 pre installed apps is far to many. Rating edited from 3 to 5 stars after some use and Prompt responses from Blackview product support team. Very good service from the Blackview team. Review: Surprisingly a fantastic phone for the money - I’m quite amazed just how good this phone is. I have had it for a few months now and it performs better than any other phone I have purchased around this price. Build feels like a far more expensive phone, it really is rugged and has been dropped a few times including in water without issue. Night vision camera is interesting but other than a quick play with it, not something I would use. Downside it is heavy and chunky, but sits nice in my hand and still fits in the pocket of my jeans.
