Just a little too early to keep it
By Bumpkin
I purchased a BLU Dash 3.5 to use on vacation, with a local Mexico sim in slot 2 (quad-band Edge) and an AT&T Gophone sim in slot one. I tested the phone at AT&T and got "H" connection, and it seemed very slow compared to my Tmo Galaxy S II, because it was. The antennae on the Dash 3.5 are about, I believe, half the max speed of 802.11b, or about 4-6Mbps. Better than Edge, certainly, and fine for email. The phone itself, while on wi-fi, was a delight. I loved the launcher, which made it possible to change the size of the fonts and icons on the applications screen. I really liked 2.3.6 (or whatever it has in it), more in fact than ICS on the Galaxy, and of course, far more than 2.1 or 2.2. Skype worked great, and the screen resolution was just fine; not as good as the similarly sized Moto Defy but nice and bright and clear enough. They give you two extra backs, in different colors, which is a cute touch.SO. My extra batteries arrived, and guess what? They were the model for the plain Dash, not the 3.5. The Dash 3.5 uses the C654804130T, and no one in the entire hemisphere apparently sells them. (Buy.com sells the other one, the one for the plain Dash. It is model C654205110T. An ebay seller with a phone number (who shall remain nameless) gave me that model# and a link to Buy.com. I ordered them before my own Dash 3.5 arrived.)So unless BLU itself responds with batteries, or Buy.com or its fulfiller finds some, I am sad to say my phone will be returned until such time as BLU gets its act together.The 1-star loss is because of the slow antenna BLU chose to put on this (and I assume on the VIVO 4.3 also), and the batteries being unavailable.

Works with consumer cellular (see notes)
By Jeff Baygents
This Android works great and has a very good performance. I ensured I bought a high-speed storage card (class 10) so that performance wouldn't be slowed down due to the card. I installed the Consumer Cellular SIM card and the phone worked immediately; however, web and MMS didn't work. Consumer Cellular support couldn't see the phone in order to push down the network settings so, I had to do some research. Some info was okay on Internet but not good enough so, after about 3 days, I collected enough info to successfully gain all services to get Web & MMS to work with Consumer Cellular. I hope this helps others. Here are the settings I used (assuming you've deleted any APNs you might already have:Add a new APN and insert in the following values. Notes: If you don't have all the values available, just enter the ones you do have available (it might still work for you). Some values are purposely left blank and should remain that way. Also note that (on some phones) for "APN type", no spaces should be used so don't be tempted to add a space after the comma.a. Name: Consumer Cellular WEBb. APN: att.mvnoc.

wanted to keep
By K
The phone is nice and I would of love to keep it except for a few things. The Bluetooth effected the performance, when using the phone W/O Bluetooth you could only talk for about 15 minutes? and then if you receive another call the phone would ring but you could not hear the person on the other end. Then some times you hear a buzz and I noticed that when semi's would come by you(radio) interference. It's hard to get support from BLU. The setup was easy but the manual is very very small. The battery is not a standard size. I must say it worked fine for the first day. Then I decided to do an factory reset and that's when I started having problems?You can't get cases to protect the phone. I would of like another phone to see if the one I had was just a fluke,but you could not get an exchange? The functionally was fine.
