Leading the pack is the new FeatureSmart™ T601i—the first of a series of mobile phones that utilizes the best features of a smartphone at an unbeatable value that has never been seen before. With dual SIM capabilities, ultra responsive 3.5” capacitive touchscreen, WIFI connectivity, and Mobile TV, the FeatureSmart T601i provides a dynamic and immersive user experience.
