Review the Official Specs
By David Munoz
While the phone is a good deal for the price, the listed specs are (currently) not correct. The screen is 854x480, not the qHD screen (960x540) that it states. (Amazon has since fixed this issue)
Also, T-Mobile will only be 4G in certain areas with this phone, while AT&T should be 3G in all areas.
Lastly, Blu isn't exactly known for keeping its phones upgraded to the latest Android version. It is current now, but don't expect updates.
Overall 4 Stars!
Update 7/15: A few more details. The screen produces some great colors, but the viewing angles are pretty bad. The vertical viewing angles are fine, with just some lightening in color, but viewing in horizontal can make the screen go almost white.
The whole phone zips along with whatever you need. Quadrant is just under 4K and Antutu is just under 14K. Memory just limits the multitasking, with apps closing if you keep opening new ones or switching between them.
The speaker is decent sounding, but it could be louder. The vibrate is pretty tiny and near the bottom of the phone. The phone box is nice and comes with a screen protector, but it isn't installed already and mine came with lint on the sticky side... YMMV. I still can't get all the bubbles out of the protector either.
The camera is rubbish. You'll need very good lighting if you want to get anything that doesn't look like a VGA webcam.
The back is a nice matte plastic with a slight rubber texture (except for the top which is glossy), but the edges come to a point and that makes it harder to grip and the bottom point isn't comfortable to hold. It doesn't feel like it will break with one drop, though.
Update 7/16: The TTS (text-to-speech) engine is Pico, not the Google TTS that normally comes with 4.2. This means the GPS voice sounds like it did back in Gingerbread, not the nicer one that replaced it. I installed the IVONA beta and that will do, but it's silly that it still uses Pico.
Root is super easy. There is a MKT6589 one-click root you can download and it works like a charm. This means, with some know-how, you can fix most issues.
More info on the screen. It is locked at 48hz, not the 60hz of most everything else. This means nothing will ever go faster than 48 FPS unless someone can change that. Not too big of an issue, but this does limit the benchmark scores.
Update 7/19- after taking the back cover off the phone a few times the phone now squeaks when squeezed. A little disheartening, but for the price I still vote 4 stars.
Update 7/30- One thing I should mention. Putting the sim cards in the phone is rather different than most phones. Since there is two, and since the phone isn't very wide, they actually slide in sideways on top of each other. This was very weird for me the first time as it seems like I am shoving them into the cavity and not the slot for them. There is a thin piece of metal that separates the two slots, but it feels like you could lose the sim inside (especially if you use a nano sim in an adapter like I do). No harm done after putting one in and taking it out, although it was rather difficult to take out.
I'll update this if I find something else!

Great, and I mean great, phone for the price!
By bdozer
Only been using for 1 day, so this is more of first impressions at this point. I will update with more information as needed.
Came with wall charger, screen protector, headphones, and a separate package including a USB car charger and cable (unexpected). Overall impressions are very positive so far. Screen looks pretty good. Access to micro-sd without removing the battery. Very fast boot time. Nice feel and weight. Almost NO crapware pre-installed. Dual-SIM is really awesome (I will spend some more time on that later). Call quality seems fine, maybe a little quiet hearing the other party, but average. Haven't found a way to keep the capacitive buttons illuminated, but I'm trying to fix that with 3rd party app now. Camera isn't the best, especially in low light. I think this is party due to a pretty weak flash. Battery life isn't too great, but I think that's because I haven't really put it down yet.
I will go into detail on a few features I think are significant below:
Dual-SIM. This is the first dual-sim phone I've had, so I'm not sure if these features are stock android or added in by BLU. Very nice feature. Only one will support WCDMA/GSM the 2nd is GSM only. You can decide which SIM to use for the three functions (voice, text, data) or you can have it ask you each time. So when I go to make a call, it will ask me which sim to use (which is essentially which number you want the other person to see). This is really cool. I have a feeling this may be impacting my battery life, as it is running 2 radio simultaneously. Very cool for people who currently have a work and a personal phone, and would like to consolidate.
Network Speeds: I use AT&T, and it seems they don't give much love to data speeds on their HSPDA network. With full signal, I am only getting 1Mb/500Kb speeds. Not a huge deal, but it is noticeable coming from their LTE network. I have a feeling the T-Mobile speeds will be much, much better. Maybe a work AT&T SIM for voice/text and a T-Mobile SIM to use for data with the 30/month package they have would be almost perfect.
Settings: It seems there isn't as much flexibility in the settings. This could change as I continue using it, but here are a couple of examples of things I was looking for and couldn't find. Capacitive touch buttons light timeout (it seems really short, and I almost never see them lit). Notification options on home screen - there are the jelly bean notification widgets available, but I was looking for a little more. Quick unlock to apps - looks like it wants to let me add things to unlock and go directly into, but I can't figure out how to add them. Wifi Tethering - It works great, and is easily configurable.
So all in all, I have to give it 4 stars (for now). You are getting a whole lot for the price. The dual-sim is new (to me) and a very nice feature.
I will update if I find anything else of note, or an app to get around some things.

Great but be careful
By Jpetcare
The phone itself is great. It is fast and looks good and works well. The only reason to watch out is that Amazon sent me the wrong version of the phone. I received the i (international) version so I could not get 3g/hspa+ data speeds. This is not blu's issue it is amazon's. Check it and return it before even opening it if you have the issue.
