"The reason why I switched from Sprint" on by Glennie34
Pros: Moves fast when switching from screens, 3G is fast for browsing,
very slim and light, force closes are rare, 2 cameras , music sounds great on it. The batter life is also great. The 2 GB of internal memory is a major plus.Cons: 8 megapixel camera is not as good as my 5 mega pixel of my epic, fingerprint magnet, no sd card included or headphones.
Summary: I wanted to go prepaid for awhile since i been paying 86 a month with sprint but my actually phone usage is really low. i waited for a phone that I didn't feel I was downgrading from my samsung epic and when Cricket had the Mercury I switched that day. So far I am happy with my decision. The phone is very fast, light, and has all the features I thought I would miss by going prepaid. I was able to play my games on it great. I was surprised madden 12, asphalt(full version included free on phone) played just as good as my previous phone. I really love the battery life. I can charge my phone once a day with a lot of usage. my old phone rarely made it 5 hours. i put it beside my coworkers Iphone and the screen is bigger I wish it was a little wider but I'm happy with the screen. I'm happy I bought this phone.
2 months later and I still love this phone :). Hadn't had many force closures and the battery continues to last a full day. Looks great in a nice case, I have a blue clear one. Games and videos have been great :)

"really sleek phone" on by sk8er_boy81967
Pros: duel cameras, really fast, big screen, does everything i need it to.
Cons: when you have tons of apps running it can get a little glitchy.
sometimes wifi drops so ill have to re connect it but it only happens when i stop using it for a while so not so much of a inconvenience.Summary: For the price of the phone and the price i pay per month i wouldn't trade this phone for any other phone, simple as that. It's fast enough to keep me satisfied, i can load web pages like nothing pinch to zoom, listen to pandora all day while playing angry birds or w,e other game i want. I can't really think of anything that has upset me about this phone.
