The phone is a good first 4G phone. The battery should last longer to be able to support the activity that this phone is capable of. Web surfing, adjustable screen size, good color, great camera. The battery life is the only down side I have found.
This is a great little phone, especially for the price. I wanted the iPhone 4S for my wife, but after reading of all the issues and listening to my friends complain about theirs, we decided to hold off until the next gen iPhone and get an android to pair up with my Epic. Could only be a little happier with this phone as it is missing one great feature that the Epic and other great androids have. Samsung and Sprint got most of this cell right as far as hardware, feel and interface. It's fast (faster than my Epic), it's light although it feels solid, it's just about the perfect size as far as smartphones go, and it has decent resolution for a non-AMOLED display with a plastic screen. Not sure of the radios in it, but it gets better downs and ups than my Epic, and the Epic is fairly fast. Call quality has been great, the external speaker is better than most and is in a much better position than most (next to the camera shutter). In some cells, they put the external speaker right next to the mic at the bottom of the phone. Now logic would tell you that in doing so, the mic is going to pickup all sound from the speaker when on calls. Right? Brilliant. No, not really. This phone sounds great when on speaker or at the ear. Touch response is amazing for a plastic screen. Feels durable and is easy enough to hold without feeling like you might drop it, but the textured back wasn't really necessary. I like the back on my Epic, it's smooth but it has that sticky feeling to it, they could have done the same with the Conquer. The only things that I don't like, and my wife REALLY doesn't like, is the fact that they did not put the function widgets in the notifications bar for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and 4G - and no factory task manager. A couple of workable widgets in the stock UI are ok for functions, but it's nice to have a factory installed task manager to keep things under control for saving the battery. These are the only things I don't like about the phone, otherwise it's the best value Sprint has.
12-13 Edit Loaded an app named Widgetsoid2x - awesome!!! A LOT of options as far as toggles and controls. Definitely a must for this phone and any other android without toggle controls in the notification bar. Make sure and watch video closely before attempting to make any changes or adjustments.
I love the quickness of online features. It is very easy to navigate around.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Great Phone

Everything about this phone is good, my only complaint is that for such a great phone they should have atleast put a 5 MP camera instead of the 3,2 MP. Pictures are ok but could be so much better, same for video.
The battery loses all charge within six hours, even if the phone isn't being used. Overnight, I'll go to sleep at 11, having fully charged the battery, and I'll get the beep announcing a low battery before 5 the next morning. That's pathetic.
