D'oh, only seeing this post now. I bought the S208 a couple of weeks ago so I could have given you the low-down before you bought!
It's a decent phone for the price (£84.99 with Amazon). It's is very sleek and has a quality feel and finish about it. The 5" screen is very bright and clear. It's only a 2-point capacitive screen so not always as responsive as the big-branded phones which are 5-point capacitive, but it hasn't been a problem for me. It's just sometimes you have to tap a second time before the screen recognises the command.
The battery is excellent. I thought this may have been a weakpoint but it's better than the battery in my old Xperia!
The only negative I've found is that the camera really isn't great. In good light on a bright day with a steady hand, the 8MP camera will take a decent pic. However, it struggles in poor light and doesn't correct exposure when there is a bright background. A lot of pics tend to end up blurry. It's as if the shutter speed never goes quicker than 1/250 sec.
Here's a shot taken of my messy desk with my old Xperia and the S208.
Okay so it's not an interesting pic, but you can see that the detail and colour is better in the Xperia compared to the Cubot. Both cameras are 8MP by the way.
Also, there is no flash. The spec will tell you there's an LED flash, but the LED fires up only to eliminate red-eye but doesn't re-flash, when the shutter is released, so you get a 5" dull grainy picture! I only came to realise this on Saturday when I was at a wedding trying to take a pictures of the bridal party.
The case that comes in the box is pants, so get one of the cases on Amazon for a few quid. I got the
Baiwei Leather Case and it is excellent.
Overall it's a decent bit of kit for the money. I bought this because if I went for an upgrade with my phone provider I would have been tied up in a new 24-month contract at a higher monthly cost and I didn't want to get rippped off!
