I am in possession of 'several' X6 and X5 that are going to be released here in the US. the devices are pretty vanilla, and I am happy with the performance, much like the nexus one. I enjoy switching roms and rooting, but I am a noob at hacking into Android, and need some help. I would be glad to provide the OS Dump for the X6 (and the x5), if someone could tell me, in newbie terms, how to do it!

Care to share who will be releasing the X6, and when?

hey all, new X6 user here :D
just picked up a couple of these units last week while on holiday in teh Philippines, its sold rebranded as Mecha said, a Magnum HD. Damn nice phone, havnt had any issues yet and yeah we got the word couple days ago we getting a free update to 2.3 soon...nice

Quite surprised when i booted them up, one of the units boots with a Cherry Mobile logo at rom boot then the Cherry Mobile jingle and Magnum HD logo. The other X6 only has the Cherry Mobile logo at rom boot then strait into Android :) vanilla!

@Mecha i havnt had any of the heat issues you where talking about, i did notice the bottom keys did get unresponsive from the screen protector i was using, i found a proper factory size laser cut protector that solved that. As for GPS lock yes i had that once, i rebooted the phone when this happened and it hasnt been a problem since.

Installing non-market apps from me 64bit lappy is all good, was a bit tricky at first, maybe it was me..just had to get the sequence right. The phones not available in my country yet and everyone thinks its some sort of HTC haha ..intresting to see what the price is here whenever its released.

peace

@Jazz. yeah its sad to hear the number of employees between Foxconn & Huawei who have taken their lives in thier staff "campuses".. the largest staff factory/campus is like a city with shops and malls housing 270,000! :mad: grr

Dont let it hijack your wish to own a X6 though, Foxconn make components for apple, samsung etc etc..

ive got an agent chasing down more stock of the X6 now in the Philippines. Not alot available from Cherry Mobile at the moment, i got the last two units i could find while i was there. Pm me if you are serious to own one and are NOT using UMTS 850mhz.

peace ;)

And i need to know if any of you fella's are experiencing the problems and bugs that i am currently facing
>Key's become unresponsive when the device becomes utterly hot
>The battery get's hot at first, but now the temperature of it is normal
>The 3 short cut menu keys in the menu disappears, but when restarted it turns back to normal
>The power key did not respond well, when you push on the power key it is supposed to show the turn off but i experienced this once, it only goes to standby, (standby is the 1 push only) therefore i had to remove the battery, so that i can turn off the phone, but after restarting it the problem was fixed, is this normal? have anyone of you experience this type of things?

>and lastly when calling, i am still a newbie regarding my phone,but when i am calling and had made a successful call it shows the call bar but after a second it disappears, and goes to standby mode, but the call still continues, my problem is that i cannot turn off the call, i had to say to the person that i am calling to turn the call off, how can i fix this? reply asap, i need you're assistance

Some of your observations above , ive started to see on other forums , here in Thailand , including dust getting under the screen and camera lens. There are comments that updating it to froyo 2.2.2 may sort out some of the problems.
