Love

I love my phone but like any other electronic device, things can go wrong. Make sure you get lots of extra memory or it will go slow.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Good Slider

When comparing the Stratosphere to other phones with a physical keyboard, it probably is the best available. The keys are spaced well and in a useable layout. Performance is average, screen res and brightness is a pro. The UI could be a little more responsive. Lastly, I don't like how the keyboard snaps open, I would prefer it to glide.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, qwery keyboard

Good beginner smart phone Even my 3 year old can use it.

Its a battery hog, to say the least and it keeps dropping the 4g LTE connection. It is my first smart phone and I have to plug it in 3 times a day to get by.
On the plus side I got it so I could take pictures and video to post to facebook with our last baby. It also is easy enough my 3 year old knows how to watch the video of his new baby brother, over and over. He has also taught me how to use allot of things on it. LOL
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, easy to use
Cons: Did not meet expectations, will not stay connected to 4g, battery dies fast when doing 1 minute videos
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great value for the price.

This is my first Android smartphone and has been invaluable to me as a way of staying connected to my friends and family. I really liked how I was able to take the stock phone and personalize it to my needs. I needed more memory; popped in a 16 gig card. I needed more battery life; got an extended battery and kept the stock as a spare.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, removable battery, expandable memory, customizable screen, qwert keyboard
Cons: heavy battery drain
I would recommend this to a friend!

simply easy to understand and operate. Good to rmid-range expense budget and operating on gingerbread is a good tool.
