Answer #1
A few thoughts:
First, does it really matter now? lol I’m guessing there is no going back (ie can’t return etc).
The phone runs 4.4 and for a few weeks, that is the most current version of Android so all is good there.
The only issue with purchasing something not quite mainstream can is that there can potentially be updates and custom ROMs and the like. These customs are built from a particular model of phone. If your phone isn’t a popular one, then chances are you won’t find any custom ROM builds.
Having said this, Gigabyte seems to be updating frequently

Can’t find anything on xda-developers (probably the @1 place for phone support and customization) but then again, that isn’t a bad thing if you are satisfied with the phone and playstore.
There are review of the phone here too:

Answer #4
Looks quite a reasonable brand of phone
Batteries will probably be available when the phones have been around a bit longer, I would think.
Answer #5
Seems like a capable phone, though the RAM size would probably hinder the CPU processing power
Spare batteries can usually be found off ebay

RATING-3.7V-2000MAH
