Does IT support 3g in usa? As i know mediatek 6589 devices do not support those bands

If this Mediatek chip isn't ARM, it's useless.

I don't see how these will compete with the coming T4i phones running 2.3ghz this Quarter which is squarely aimed at $100-200 phones. Why would you buy one of these slow phones? Even if T4i doesn't pan out and is 2ghz or so, it will still smoke these in cpu and the gpu will eat this for breakfast even with 60 cores. The difference in chip prices is probably less than $10 so these seem pointless. I'd always take way better perf for anything under $50 extra. We are talking a LOT of perf here for about $10. Even if these T4i phones come in $50 high I'd go that route, not this has been tech.
