Samsung Galaxy Reverb (Virgin Mobile)

Pros: Easy to understand, fast, vivid picture, changeable fonts, I love everything about this phone.

Cons: Touchscreen keyboard is somewhat small, not a dealbreaker. No audible reminder notification area to remind you of voicemails/messages (except for the emergency messages). There is an LED light however. Need better, tougher case.

Summary: I tried the pitiful HTC EVO V 4G before this one. I previously had the EVO 3D through Sprint and loved that phone. Whatever happened to it in the transition really messed it up. The only way to make the errors go away was to alter the phone, and I wasn't doing that. Either it works right out of the box or I don't want it. The HTC One V was unavailable in my area, so I purchased this phone at BB (with price match), and I've never looked back. Hands down the best phone I've ever had. At $149, it was worth every penny. Just need a better case.

Someone mentioned that you cannot change the 'bubbles' on the messaging portion. Yes you can. As with just about every menu or function on this phone, you can find a place, either through the front buttons or the top taskbar, to bring up the menu that you need to change the function to better suit you. This is the easiest to understand phone in the world....just a little time maneuvering around it, you will learn to love it.
