"Don't waste your money."
onPros Good design, easy to use, does basic phone functions.
Cons Overpriced, limited selection of apps, HORRIBLE internal storage space, slow, poor signal quality.
Summary If you're looking for a reliable starter phone, then this is the one to get. Otherwise, this phone is terrible. I honestly think that this phone is way too expensive for what you're getting out of it. I've been using it as a serious smart phone for about a year, and when I'm not fighting it's poor signal quality or short battery life, I'm dealing with the device's poor internal storage space or frequent (and sometimes random) crashes and self-resetting. Not to mention its serious lag issues. So do yourself a favor if you're planning on buying this phone...and don't. It'll save yourself a lot of time and sanity.

"A reliable smartphone for its price"
on by j300nyPros Not hard to use and reliable. Size is ok, not too big, not too small. Has all the features of your typical smart phone.
Cons 1. I do not know, as I can't find a way, to use the front camera. So I am assuming it does not have one?
2. No flash on the camera
3. MemorySummary For the price and the quality, it is a decent smartphone to have. Has googleplay so you can buy apps...although I feel the phone memory is not enough for a heavy app user like me. Recently, it has been giving me trouble with being able to receive but not send messages (I have to keep turning on/off airplane mode to reset network). Everything else works fine. It is not a bad phone to have if you are on the cheap side, esp. if you are using a prepaid program (although that nokia lumia is available now for prepaid, but for more money).

"This is a great phone for the money"
on by RarebutwelldonePros Easy to use and perfect for my tweenager.
Cons small screen
Summary this is a nice phone for a tween who wants a smart phone and for parents who want it cheap - it costs me %5 more a month and she connects via wifi.

"Reliable+cheep"
on by yofutofuPros This phone is a jack of all trades, the speakers are loud and the screen is clear, also it's for a great price.
Cons The battery does only last about 2 days, but it charges really quickly
Summary I have the Canadian version of this phone, so that might explain how I like mine more than the Americans

"This phone may have glitches"
on by ReviewerReadyPros Decent size, pretty self explanatory options on the phone. Cute icons. Like "some" of the touch screen features like swiping but not for texting or dialing.
Cons I noticed this phone has a couple of issues that I can't seem to get to work out. First, I added numbers to my one-touch dialing but when you are in another window or application and hit back too many times, it also undoes the one-touch dialing settings.
Summary I would 85% not recommend this phone. I hope it's only my phone that has issues and not the entire assembly line of them.
Can't forward AIM texting because it only receives, can't reply back to sender. Phone just turned off and on by itself today.
