This caught my eye too. Also the phone doesn't have 3G. I can't imagine an always-connected phone performing well on Edge.

Apps are built using web technologies like HTML5 and JS - this doesn't mean the phone is "always-connected", the review is incorrect on this point.

Some apps are offline, some are only online, many are both. This is just like other popular smartphone platforms.

it costs way too much for 3g in developing country like India, right now I have Rs.199 unlimited 2G and works fine for everything on 4.2 inch android phone. (Whatsapp, facebook and email and may be flipkart are apps i use most )
