try this site
guys,
try this link at etotalk.com
http://www.etotalk.com/lenovo-a820-...ad-core-12ghz-dual-sim-45-inch-qhd_p3758.html
they have the lowest price for this phone i think. and they also root and install their own custom rom for you for additional price.
this phone has a good price for the specs. i m also thinking of buying one.
it you guys buy this, please keep the thread active.
thanks.

i dont get your point...yeah its 169+ shipping, so? isnt all other sites the same?
it certainly is cheaper than aliexpress or panda. and they are a reliable site plus they would root and install custom rom too. (for additional price) its worth to pay that additional amount for the rooting, unless you have the time to do it yourself and dont mind taking the risk.

for shipping to spain: Pandawill, Antelife and Aliexpress, it's free (I look at this). So it's 20-30$ less. For another countries I don't know
pandawill is original firmware.
antelife is room with multilingual (I don't know if it's root)
aliexpres the phone is rooted for free.
sorry for my english!

too bad. there's no free shipping for my country. either way it seems a good phone for the price.
only worry for me is whether there would be enough support, upgrades and things from lenovo in future.
thanks

I have one that came pre rooted from etotalk.
I ordered it on sunday and it arrived on thursday by DHL so fast delivery and I paid the extra few dollars for the etotalk rom which is pre rooted with no chinese apps and has Play installed.

The build quality seems fine and if anything the phone is slimmer than it looks in the photos.
It's certainly fast compared to the A789 that I had been using and browsing is fast both by HSDPA and WIFI.
The GPS works well and will get a lock inside a minute in the house without the need to go outdoors.
It's too early to give a realistic figure for battery life as I only got it yesterday so have been using it a lot and loading it up with all of my usual apps etc.
The only 2 things that some people may not like about the phone is no front facing camera and no flash for the camera but for the price for a quad core phone with 1GB of ram I wasn;t bothered
Including the etotalk rom which seems fine and shipping by DHL it cost $210.00 or about £137.00 which I think makes it excellent value.
Oh,I forgot to add,it also came with CWM recovery installed as part of the rom package.
