Highlights of the MyPhone MY112
All in all, it seems that the MyPhone MY112 has a lot more in- store than the DTC Gear, since the latter was about a year old already. It could be safely said, that the improvements on the MY112 came from tackling a few deficiencies experienced with earlier disaster based devices, which hopefully, MyPhone was completely removed. As for the DTC Gear, it is still one of the most sturdy disaster devices in the market, though, with the more affordable take and a more improved device features, we can honestly say, that the MyPhone MY112 is a more worthy buy, overall than the DTC Gear.
