Starmobile Neptune B503 and Torque DTV8 shares the same features and almost the same look.
I still have the DTV8 and only thing I don’t like about it is the limit of sms (less than 100) even though I have a 2gb memory card.

Wow! No mention on the Cherry Mobile P1? I wonder what’s your criteria for “Best Feature Phone of 2014” especially with that DTC unit included there. What a joke.

One model per brand. Does that make sense now?
